East Hampton notable Alec Baldwin is asking people to boycott circuses that use trained elephants in a recently released video that claims to expose the harsh treatment of the animals.

The video is coming out as the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus gets ready to kick off . On Monday, trainers led elephants in a parade through East Garden City to the Coliseum.

Warning: Baldwin's PETA video show animals being beaten and may be unsettling to some viewers.

Let us know if you agree with Baldwin or not in the comments.

Unbelievable. So much for majority rule. The board forgets who they work for. They made a mockery of…Read More the democratic process. What they did was nothing different then totalitarian rule. They should be relived of their duty for not representing the people and supporting the majority rule. One can only imagine what other crooked decision making may be taking place that is contrary to the people's wishes. Shame on them! The mayer is a coward who forgets what side his bred is buttered on. The majority got him his job along with the other councilmen and they chose to turn their back on the ones who gave them a job. Bunch of arrogant, out of touch with the people, conceded morons is what they are.

My name is Rich Wilson. I am running for the East Hampton School Board. My agenda is no secret. It…Read More is to increase Scientific Literacy for all of our students in order for them to be better prepared when they enter an increasingly complex and technological world. I have been involved in this initiative for the last 2 years, working with teachers and administrators in all of the school districts in the Town of East Hampton. Cooperatively with a private donor and The GEHEF (Greater East Hampton Education Foundation), we have successfully begun supplying training and complete FOSS (Full Option Science System) materials to our Elementary and Middle School teachers. Using FOSS,The students discover the basic concepts of science through hands-on investigations, the teacher doesn't "cover" them. This is not text book driven, or rote memorization. Writing, reading and math are included with each investigation, resulting in a better understanding of the way the world works. This is being accomplished WITHOUT taxpayer dollars. I am now involved in another joint project to benefit our students that is not funded by taxpayers - the details will be announced soon. I have been involved in Science education for most of my life : Sag Harbor School District (1968 - 1998) - Wrote and delivered the lab component of the K-6 Elementary Science Curriculum . - Started the first Robotics class in 1995. Was the only team from Long Island at the time to compete nationally in the FIRST Competition, (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) competition. -Taught a Biology Research class in conjunction with a Biology professor at SUNY Old Westbury. -Co-taught a "Timetables of History" seminar with a High School Social Studies teacher. East Hampton (1986 - 2004) -Owned and operated the "Village Toy Shop and Gifted Generation" , an educational toy store on Main Street, E.H. Amagansett (2003 - 2005) -Owned and operated "ROBOtech" in Amagansett Square, where we taught Lego Mindstorms Robotics to individuals and school groups. I now have the time to devote to the East Hampton School Board and hopefully play a part in the continuing efforts to better the future for all of our students, including my four grandchildren.
