Rocky Mitchell

Sparta, WI

Hi I'm Rocky Mitchell. I've been an activist since 2002. I first started by joining the ACLU and a site formally known as thepetitionsite now care2 against the Afghanistan & Iraq wars.

I'm one of many trying to raise epilepsy awareness, gay rights, and general civil rights. I don't agree with the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" military policy that has plagued people encouraging discrimination at the highest level.

I love "Democracy Now" radio and am awe inspired by Amy Goodman. She along with Josh Silver inspire me that change for a better future is possible even through abuses. They taught me along with many others the importance of real journalism and the power of the free press.

JT'S CAUSE - Amend Hair Policy for Boys, For Donating Hair to Charity

The act of telling someone your not going to get Federal/State Funded Schooling based on expression of their Identity is discrimination pure and simple.
Do these codes of conduct also apply to staff? Do they think these codes of conduct really help guide & teach teens in preparedness for College/University studies?

How about a zero tolerance policy concerning hate by staff or student?

This is small mined discrimination at its best.

Reverse decision to try 12 y/o Cristian Fernandez as an adult

Abraham Lincoln said, "I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts."
It also sounds as if the caretaker was beating the children.
