Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtues consistently. You can't be consistently kind or fair or humane or generous, not without courage, because if you don't have it, sooner or later you will stop and say, "The threat is too much. The difficulty is ...too high. The challenge is too great. ~ Maya Angelou

Excerpt:  Patrick Fries, Claire’s father, said the district’s spending on other projects from the 2006 bond show a disregard for their obligations to ensure access to people with disabilities.

“If they can fast-track the construction of a $3.4 million practice field, a $400,000 girls softball batting cage and $700,000 in top-of-the-line HD cameras to film football games and performances, then they can find a way to engineer sidewalks,” he said.

The suit says that when Cheryl Fries asked to see plans for improvements under the Texas Public Information Act in February, the district requested a state attorney general’s opinion to keep it confidential.  Full article here.
