Won’t Back Down

WARNING: This is NOT an endorsement for the movie of the same name that will be in theaters in September and that Wal-Mart  is celebrating with a deceitful “Teachers Rock” Concert. So, if you landed here looking for a teacher to wholeheartedly support parent triggers, you can stop reading now.
