You might call this "Kill Bill II" -- in what has to be one of the shortest articles ever to grace the Globetechnology, and on a page where half the available ad-space has been purchased by Microsoft (how do you continue to do your business with such nasty people?), an anonymous Markham reporter files the lip-service story on how the Ontario Schools are fed up, and they just aren't going to take it anymore.
