News item regarding kids who were initially told by their principal that they weren't allowed to go to a chess tournament, which they spent months preparing for. After a huge outcry from the parents, the kids were then told they could go but not with their chess coach, with whom the principal has personal issues (according to the parents of the children). Most of the kids on the chess team and their parents decided not to go in order to show their support for their chess coach. url for article on this matter: www.nypost.com url for blog from PS 70: ps70chess.blogspot.com url regarding statement of "The Knights of the South Bronx" regarding their boycott of the National championships and their support for their coach: susanpolgar.blogspot.com
