Hi Folks, I just received this from our State Coordinator. Since I have numerous links scattered throught the site, something like this could happen. If you run across a link that is questionable or inappropriate, please bring it to my attention immediately.

I doubt any of you link to this site, but thought I would pass this information on. It may behoove you to check out your links, I mean actually visit them, to make sure that they actually link to the sites you thought they linked to. Apparently porn sites pick up expired domain names and then use them to their advantage. Apparently several elementary school teachers in the western states, had linked up to this site, had not checked their links in sometime for content and got a very rude awakening when visiting the site.
