TUCSON - Stories of childhood, school and politics. Schoolyard bullies, brats and school boards. Banned books and curriculum quarrels. Hopscotch and hand holding. Education legislation. Joys and pains of growing up. Cheating. The struggle to belong. The popular kids. Teaching to the test so No Child Left Behind. Sticks and stones may break my bones but stories will never hurt me.

On May 3 join Art teacher, Christina Culligan; Language Arts teacher, Kevin Lee Lopez; UA student, Cassy Crandall; inventor, Marko Hansen; TUSD Board candidate, Cam Juarez; lawyer, Roscoe Mutz; and activist, Sara Gonzales at Fluxx Studio and Gallery, 416 E. 9th St., in Tucson.
