Today, I set up a Facebook group, Team Avery to get more people informed about Avery’s case, and hopefully to get more people to contribute to the Defend Free Speech site. If you’re on Facebook, please join the group and get your friends to join.

One person wrote,

Agh. This is infuriating. Yet another example of how not to win hearts and minds. Take away Free Speech to protect it -- how Orwellian.

I'm teaching my grade school kids tonight how to spell the word "douchebag", and the appropriate usage, along with how to tell someone to "piss off". And then I'm going to give them a writing assignment using those words. You go, Avery.

On WTIC, a local talk radio station, Lauren Doninger, Avery’s mother, spoke with Colin McEnroe. I missed the beginning of it, but I did hear her talk about the importance of the case, pointing out that “Rights get eroded slowly at the local level.” Colin ended the call noting, “That’s Lauren Doninger, she’s a good mom.”
