Top school officials will huddle privately this morning to discuss a classroom war crimes "trial"of President Bush at Parsippany High School that suddenly is drawing national attention.
The school board's president, Robert Perlett, said the 8:30 a.m. meeting was called by mutual agreement on Thursday as the uproar surrounding the mock tribunal escalated on the Internet and talk radio.
Perlett said no decision had been made to halt the trial, which is to enter a fourth day today after classes were canceled Thursday due to the snowstorm.
"There is no curtailment of what is going on at the school, at present,"Perlett said.
...
Joseph Kyle, whose class is trying Bush for alleged "crimes against civilian populations"and "inhumane treatment of prisoners," was not invited, Perlett said.
"It's going to be very interesting. We might as well wait and see if a shoe drops or not," said teachers union President John Capsouras.
Capsouras spoke to Kyle by telephone on Thursday evening about the controversy stemming from the trial, in which students are playing the roles of prosecutors, defense lawyers and witnesses and a five-teacher "international court of justice"is sitting in judgment.
"Joe is fine. He's a good man, and he's fine," Capsouras said of Kyle, who is the union's vice president and chief negotiator.
Capsouras said Kyle, an eight-year teacher at the high school, was in good spirits despite some crank calls. He said that Kyle, in terms of his job, should be in the clear unless "somebody decides they didn't give him permission" for the project.
If this trial is shut down it'll be yet another cheer for powers that be and Big Brother.
No dissenting, now! That would only help the terrorists!! (Forget that it will help make sure our principles are upheld.)
