In reply to: Tebow: When is this toolshed going to start losing? (Bent, 11-27)

You just don't like the guy?? Because he has faith? Because he gives credit to something you don't believe in? No, wait, I've got it! Because he's a great football player? I'm confused by your article... Seems to me like someone needs to find better things to do with his time than tear down a man like Tebow who sticks to his guns and stands by his beliefs. You're like the cyber-bully who cried wolf.  Eventually no one is going to care what you write because this is the trash you come up with. Have a great day!

You don't like him because: 1. He's a pro-life Christian 2. He prods his team to improbable wins 3. He's better looking than you. Sounds pretty small ball, dude.

Tear Down the Magnet School Class Barrier

When magnet schools first came into favor in the 1960s and 1970s, the idea was that they’d promote desegregation by drawing students from predominantly white areas (like a magnet, get it?) to schools in mostly black areas that offered an enriched curriculum in things like science or the arts.

While the success of magnet schools as a desegregation tool was mixed, there was no question the kids who attended them reaped a significant benefit, and the magnet school idea took off. By the start of the 21st Century there were more than 3,000 magnet schools all over the country, in small cities as well as big ones.

As magnet schools became more popular, the challenge became not how to attract students to them but how to fairly determine who got the limited number of spots available. It’s a challenge the Bend-LaPine School District has sadly failed to meet.

Thank you for sharing the story of Bruce Morris and the HDC, their work is appreciated and will not doubt continue “the evolution” toward less separation and more respect for all people.

In reply to: Any Band > Nickelback: Detroit Lions fans (and the rest of the sensible world) would rather not have this band ruin Thanksgiving (Left Field, 11-9)

The only thing that pisses me off more than the capital gains tax rate is the fact that Nickelback can re record the same song every 4 years with different words and make millions off it!!!
