The Mississippi Five and the Case of the Missing Case

April 1, 2011, fell on Friday in Mississippi, just like it did everywhere else. We at HSLDA did not know, however, what mischief April Fool’s Day would bring to Mississippi until the following Monday.

That Monday began like most other Mondays. Check email, voicemail, inbox, and calendar. Get coffee. Make plans for the week ahead. Pretty routine—dull even.
