FYI all,

In solidarity with thousands of other websites going dark (made inaccessible) today in protest against PIPA/SOPA I went ahead and made the executive decision to put up a pop up notice and announcement on the TFS site. I didn't totally darken the site, in case anyone was trying to get information about classes, but wanted to do something to help get the word out.

I know we collectively have agreed to remain apolitical (and I was among those pushing staying apolitical organizationally), however, I felt that this really wasn't an an issue of politics, but an issue of large corporations gaining the right to censure the internet and block free speech, which in my mind goes against what we (TampaFreeSkool) stand for.

Hope no one has a problem with my doing this. It is set to automatically disable at the end of the day.

Avi

Indeed, I support not supporting this SOPA mess.
