In this article from the Telegraph Journal Freta Burdett of Citizens for Educational Choice encourages teachers to speak out on the issue of the elimination of EFI.

Irma Ferlatte, the 50 year veteran of the Liberal Party who burned her membership card last week in Dalhousie, is interviewed by the online version of Tribune.

A letter that admonishes the Premier for his 'emotional' remark.

A letter that admonishes the president of the Home and School Association for her letter of support of the Lamrock Plan.

And a letter that admonishes the TJ Editorial staff for there assertion that the Ombudsman has overstepped his mandate.

Brent Shaw of the NBTA continues to put his trust in Minister Lamrock despite all indications that the members who pay his salary will suffer under the Lamrock Plan.  He says himself that they have failed to provide the neccessary trining in past, but golly gee...this time will be different.

A great front page story about the rally in Dalhousie that met the Liberal Cabinet when they met yesterday.  Liberal Party Membership Cards in Flames...

hmmm...the Minister keeps saying he is not getting any recommendations from his critics...strange, since we keep getting copied on them.

"The problem confronting Minister Lamrock was how to create a new program (intensive French) with more positions, without spending more money. The answer he chose, it seems, was to shut down EFI. In hindsight, it seems obvious that the Croll-Lee report was little more than window dressing to hide what became, in essence, another money grab by the province. Not a big money grab, mind you. Croll and Lee stated that EFI only represented $5 million per year in incremental costs to the department, a very small amount in a billion-dollar education budget. But a money grab nonetheless."

The first letter attacks the TJ's editorial that stated that the Ombudsman should reconsider his decision to investigate the FSL changes and the second attacks the Premiers assertion that we are all a bunch of hysterical irrational parents.

As a bonus there is a great political cartoon in top left hand corner.

A couple of letters to the editor representing different sides of the debate.

He's at it again...
