In reply to: dad 's message, "BOYCOTT CLRG Events" on 19:31:48 12/19/23 Tue

What about the teachers judges and families that HAVE been speaking up, fighting for our girls, and making sound proposals only to be ignored by CLRG? The point being how does boycotting their local feisianna help the grand cause? All it does is suck money out from those teachers and schools involved in the board that HAVE been fighting.

I don’t disagree that boycotts are effective - but there are a lot of members that have been very vocal and would be harmed (including their dancers etc) by a general boycott. How do we balance boycotting but also supporting those teachers and board members that HAVE been vocal for months?? Seems counterintuitive to damage their family income when they are the ones behind concerned parents giving interviews, trying to talk to the board and the ones trying to preserve the girls’ category despite being met with opposition from a few.
