FARMERVILLE, La. (AP) - A state judge in Baton Rouge has ruled that the board of Elementary and Secondary Education can take money from local school boards to pay for charter schools in the district.
Union Parish Superintendent Steve Dozier says he'd like a more detailed explanation of Monday's ruling by District Judge Todd Hernandez.
The judge's ruling rejected a request for a preliminary order to stop local money from going to D'Arbonne Woods Charter School. Hernandez ruled that it i

Mar 10 · If the Democrats don't get the youth vote, they're toast. That happened in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, where young Obama voters stayed home in droves. It's an ugly conceivable future portended by a new Harvard poll that shows forty-one percent of young Republicans planning on voting in November, compared to 35 percent of young Democrats and 13 percent of independents. A recent Pew poll showed a similarly disturbing pattern: Young voters still prefer the Democrats, but their marg
Mar 08 · That means public money in Florida is going to a private company in Virginia called Imagine Schools.
That is taxpayer money profiting an Educational Management Company instead of funding public schools.
Two popular Imagine charter schools in Manatee County incurred debts of nearly $900,000 and have been declared in a state of “financial emergency” by the school district.
An audit of Imagine School at Lakewood Ranch revealed debts of about $600,000 at the end of its first year. Mo

I despise the implicit pro-Iraq War politics of "The Hurt Locker": There is no examination or even mention in the film of why the U.S. might be fighting there, no look at the neo-conservative ideology that sent our troops there, no questioning of the aggressive tactics aimed at Iraqi civilians, no overt politics at all, for that matter. But I cannot deny the movie's aesthetic power. It is a great film, one of the few war movies that really got into my gut. It well deserve
Mar 08 · I don’t want to single out just one anti-science teacher, but Ray Shelton signed his name to a letter that proudly proclaimed his ignorance. So I’ll focus on him. Fortunately, the vast majority of teachers are well above the national average when it comes to intelligence, good demeanor and critical thinking. My mother taught English for twenty years at the high school level and now teaches at a college. And most of the teachers I know socially, the majority of my children’s teachers and most of
Mar 08 · Interesting how Think Progress contrasted Grover Norquist’s involvement in the so called Tea Parties with that of Big Tobacco, which is helping to pay for all that Astroturf. The article may have given some the impression that the two have different motives for opposing health care reform. However, their motives are not so different. Both Grover Norquist and Big Tobacco are dangerous to your health.

Mar 08 · Several Southern Baptist Ministers across the nation are leading prayers in their congregations asking God to kill Obama and “leave his children fatherless.” They reference Psalm 109:8 as a biblical commandment for all Christians to pray for Obama’s quick death. John Avlon interviews two of the ministers and reports:
Praying for President Obama’s death has become a sick cottage industry for some evangelicals on the lunatic fringe. Bumper stickers, T-shirts, and teddy bears are sold with the w
Mar 07 · Health care is not the same as a wide screen TV.
The public option is just that: an option.
Real hard working people, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO OWN SMALL BUSINESSES, are getting screwed by the private health insurance industry...including you.
Despite their evil socialist ways, Europe and Canada have plenty of millionaires.

Mar 07 · He is of course referring to the Rhode Island school at which all the teachers were fired whether they deserved it or not.
This teacher's letter refers back to a moment in time in 2008 when he spoke in the Miami Carol City Senior High School Auditorium, November 10, 2008, about the problems the teachers and community encounter.
There are many Central Falls High Schools throughout the country with various names. They appear to be the ones targeted for closing by this administration.

The Cure That Dares Not Speak Its Name
By Robert Kuttner / Huffington Post
In all of the debates about health care reform, one of the stubborn realities is that neither the Obama plan, nor any of the Republican alternatives, will seriously alter the trajectory of relentless cost-escalation in health care. If you look at the Administration's own projections of federal deficits in the next decade and after 2020, virtually all of the a
Mar 08 · The health insurance bill currently under consideration in Congress would forbid states from providing their residents with healthcare. An amendment correcting that problem was passed in committee last July and then quietly removed. A new campaign is asking the Democrats who voted for that amendment to withhold their votes on the bill until it is reinstated.
Several states' legislatures are close to enacting single-payer healthcare bills. This is a complete healthcare solution that elimina
