Mendocino Coast’s Best Sacred Cows

Some odd-ball and narrow-minded folks may think this inappropriate but they would be wrong. I would much prefer it if my children were taught by a socially-comfortable person who can enjoy a beer or a glass of wine with co-workers to celebrate Spring Break, like a “normal” person, rather than by someone who disapproves of such behavior or who frowns upon those that do.
