Andre, I mean, I know you guys are fighting this fight, but what can you do if the school board has voted that it's going to be Indigenous People's Day?

Well, Michael, there's a lot of things we can do, just like we did in West Orange, New Jersey, where we filed landmark federal litigation about a violation of Italian American civil rights, violation of the 14th Amendment.

0:18.4

And also what we did in Randolph, New Jersey, where we brought worldwide attention to the

0:22.6

craziness that was on that school board, and we got it reversed there.

0:25.8

But you do have breaking news because last night on that board meeting, it was just
