I think Mr. Smith that it is great that someone is taking measures to make these school accountable to the teachers and parents but most importantly to the children.

There is no doubt that there is something terribly wrong at this school and others in Japan.

I must caution you though. If you choose to protest outside of any school in Japan, you need a special permit. If you do not have one then the owner of the school could call the police and have you arrested. He could also sue you for interfering in his business. From what I have read, this would play right into Mr. Lewis's hands.

He seems to have gone to extreme measures to win his case against one teacher by hacking her e-mails and presenting them in court, stalking her, video-taping her and threatening her and god knows what else he has done or would do.

Make sure that if you proceed with this plan that you dot your "I"'s and cross your "T"'s in the legal sense.

It is good to hear that the teacher's union has stepped up to the plate because from what I am reading the police in Japan didn't do their job.
