Thanh Nguyen, Principal at Mansfield Middle School, released the following statement Monday to the Mansfield Public Schools community.

Dear MMS Parents,

I know many of you may be wondering how our day went.  I can report our day at Mansfield Middle was remarkably routine and uneventful. Administration and staff greeted the students as they arrived to school this morning.  

As we progress through the week, please know that we value your sense of concern and welcome your input. Should you need to speak with me or one of our support services, please do not hesitate. Once again, thanks for your support.

Sincerely, 

Thanh  Nguyen

MMS Principal

It’s the most perfect constant in the universe. Anyway, no, 17 years is not that long in the grand scheme of things, but this is not the 1950’s. And I don’t see why in this case it’s Bill Clinton’s values. He signed the law, but I fail to see how that effects the current discussion. It would seem to be the values of the country as whole that are changing.
