Mom urges parents to keep kids from WASL

Parents are used to objecting to short skirts, loud music and extended curfews, but a few are adding a test, the Washington Assessment of Student Learning, to their list of no-nos.

Spanaway mom Juanita Doyon, founder of Mothers Against the WASL, wants parents to know they can opt their children out of the test by providing a written statement to their school.

I wonder if this will catch on? And who paid her way down here?
