Summary
"When the bombs began to fall on Iraq, Humanities teacher and Youth Poetry coach Bill Nevins was suspended (and later fired) from his teaching job after standing up for student freedom of expression. His outspoken Rio Rancho High School Poetry Slam Team was forcibly disbanded and silenced ... Yet, out of this fire arose a diverse community of artisans, poets, & musicians whose courageous words could not be silenced. They came together in a series of unifying events ... called 'Poetic Justice'"--Http://www.committingpoetry.com/index.php?option=com_content & task=view & id=37 & Itemid=70
