It's stupid teachers who waste tax money promoting animal abuse. I've seen the Iditarod and I know about its horrors. Why should my money go to helping indoctrinate kids that the Iditarod is great when it's horrible?
I bet other communities have teachers who are wasting time and money promoting the Iditarod. I applaud Margery Glickman for having the courage to tell people the truth about what's going on in the schools. Read the material on the Sled Dog Action Coalition website: http://www.helpsleddogs.org. It's a real eye-opener.
