As I posted to Jewel, "In a letter sent to Nevins by the Rio Rancho school administration, he is accused of having permitted students to go on “field trips” to evening poetry contests without filing school forms." I got a copy of the offending poem in the PM in which that was sent. It is the simpleminded, annoying (imo) production one would expect from a naive, grandiose and fulminating adolescent deluded about her own analytical not to mention artistic powers. Well, 'adolescent' often makes all those adjectives tautological, in my experience. So far, my two guesses about the defense are that the word "precedent" and the phrase "without filing school forms" will appear. It's charged that the teacher allowed one of the girls to read her poem over the closed circuit school TV. Maybe he didn't have the authority to do that w/o the principal's approval, and if that's the case, that violation will be dwelled upon by the defense, too. It would be interesting to know to what use the closed circuit TV is usually put. Was that an unusual event? If so, the teacher's behavior (and agenda) may have been questionable. I wouldn't want the closed circuit TV used for disseminating political propaganda of the principal's choosing, in poetic form or any other, whoever had produced it.
