Sara’s parents and Cynthia arrived at the same time. Karen met them at the door and briefly told them what had happened. Sara had moved to the sofa and was still crying.

“Honey, we are not going to sit still for this,” Cynthia said as she knelt down beside Sara. She stroked Sara’s hair and wiped her eyes with a tissue that was on the coffee table. “I’ve never had any reason to want to fight for anything. I do now, and I’ll fight right along with you. This is wrong and they know it. You’re not going to go through this alone.”

“No, you aren’t,” Sara’s mother had made her way to the sofa and was sitting on the edge beside Sara. “I can’t believe that after all you have done for that school they are going to go through with this.”

“Well Mom, evidently they don’t care what I or anyone else has done or will do. It seems that all they care about is keeping up a certain appearance. Hell, we all know that gay people can’t be trusted to work with children. We have our agenda that we have to instill on the impressionable young minds. We have to meet our quota of recruits.”

Karen could not stop the chuckle that came out. Everyone in the room turned towards her.

“I’m sorry,” she said, still giggling. “I have heard those things so many times from people who seriously believe it. To actually hear it come from one of us just amused me. I should not have laughed. This is serious.”

Sara started laughing along with Karen. Cynthia smiled at Sara. That was the Sara that she loved; the happy one, the one that nothing bothered, and the one that loves everyone. She did not like seeing the Sara that was curled up on the sofa crying. Soon they were all laughing and making jokes. They were trying to take Sara’s mind off of the problem at hand.

When Sara had stopped sobbing completely, Karen spoke up. “I hate to kill the atmosphere here, but we really do need to discuss our next move. We do not have to do it now, but we at least need to set up a time that we can. I have nothing scheduled for the next week in the afternoons. You can stop by the office any time that you wish, Sara.”

“I want to get started as soon as possible on this. Will it be all right if I come by the office tomorrow afternoon when I leave the school?”

“That will be fine. I will make sure that I keep the afternoon open. I don’t expect anything to come up.”
