Re: MJJ411: Updates in the Syl Johnson Case
I just finished my letter. Since they have no e-mail adress I will send them a protest letter.
Surely it would have a bigger impact if the protest would come from the USA but I'd say every voice counts and if there is no protest, as long nobody seems to bother they won't unveil it.
Of course they told the story that it would not be permanent to calm people down, to hold things in check. They hoped people would forget about it and it seems as if their strategy has worked.
The school has a Web site, but their contact form does not work and has not forever. I've tried to contact them about this some time back, but I feel that they'd listen more carefully if the person (or group of people) contacting them are actually from the area and not from distant states. The cover was never meant to be permanent, at least two high up people from the district said as much when they so quickly covered it up in November 2003.
Stephanie Brady (District Spokeswoman) said that they would cover it "for the time being" until the case was over, while implying that it would be removed if he was exonerated. Celia Ripke (Principal) echoed similar remarks, and that she felt Michael was innocent until proven guilty.
