Detroit government school begs public for toilet paper and light bulbs
A Detroit elementary school is asking for donations of toilet paper and light bulbs to continue functioning. The principal of the Academy of Americas sent a letter to staff, parents and partners asking for donations of items "that are of the utmost importance for proper school functioning and most importantly for student health and safety."
In the letter, Principal Naomi Khalil cited budget constraints within the district as the reason that the school could no longer stock the items. The district is grappling with a more than $400 million budget deficit and is on the verge of being assigned an emergency financial manager by the state. The letter asks for toilet paper, paper towel rolls, trash bags and 60-, 100- or 150-watt light bulbs.
Those living in Detroit might consider moving overseas considering that Afghanistan, American Samoa, Andorra, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Cayman Islands, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cook Islands, Cyprus, Djibouti, Dominica, East Timor, El Salvador, Eritrea, Falkland Islands, Faroe Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia, Gambia, Gibraltar, Greenland, Grenada, Guam, Guernsey, Guinea, Guyana, Haiti, Vatican City, Isle of Man, Jersey, Kiribati, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lesotho, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Mayotte, Federated States of Micronesia, Monaco, Mongolia, Montserrat, Nauru, Netherlands Antilles, New Caledonia, Niger, Niue, Norfolk Island, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Pitcairn Islands, Rwanda, Saint Helena, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, San Marino, Sao Tome and Principe, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Suriname, Swaziland, Tajikistan, Togo, Tokelau, Tonga, Turks and Caicos Islands, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu have a budget lower than that of the Detroit government schools and are not reporting an urgent need for toilet paper and light bulbs.

Six-year-old misses bus, takes family car, crashes
A 6-year-old Virginia boy who missed his bus tried to drive to school in his family's sedan—and crashed. State police say the boy suffered only minor injuries and authorities drove him to school after he was evaluated at a local hospital. Sgt. Tom Cunningham says the boy arrived shortly after lunch.
It happened around 7:40 a.m. Monday on Route 360, about 61 miles east of Richmond. Police say the boy, who wasn't identified, missed the bus, took the keys to his family's 2005 Ford Taurus and drove 10 miles toward school while his mother was asleep. He ran off the road several times before hitting an embankment and utility pole about a mile and a half from school. Police say he wasn't wearing a safety belt.
Wouldn't have been an issue if the was homeschooled rather than being subjected to indoctrination at his local government school. My kids have an excruciating fifteen feet to walk to school from their rooms.
Kids not ready for kindergarten cost Minnesota government schools $113 million a year
Every year in Minnesota, thousands of the state's children enter school unprepared for kindergarten. And every year, the cost to the K-12 system of those children not being ready is about $113 million, according to a study released Monday. From lost revenue after students drop out to increased safety and special education costs, the system takes a hit when students aren't ready for school, according to Robert Chase of Wilder Research, which released the study.
Nine Muslim passengers removed from jet at Reagan National Airport
From the HSN article "A source close to the investigation says Sobia was overheard talking about the safest place to sit on a plane if a bomb was on board." Gee, I can't understand why they were kicked off the plane. It's not like people like Mohamed Atta al Sayed, Waleed al-Shehri, Wail al-Shehri, Abdulaziz al-Omari, Satam al-Suqami, Marwan al-Shehhi, Fayez Banihammad, Mohand al-Shehri, Hamza al-Ghamdi, Ahmed al-Ghamdi, Hani Hanjour, Khalid al-Mihdhar, Majed Moqed, Nawaf al-Hazmi, Salem al-Hazmi, Ziad Jarrah, Ahmed al-Haznawi, Ahmed al-Nami, and Saeed al-Ghamdi were Muslim as well. Oh wait, nevermind.

IDF launches YouTube Gaza channel
In the midst of its Gaza operations, the IDF is entering yet another conflict zone: the Internet. The Israeli army announced yesterday the creation of its own YouTube channel, through which it will disseminate footage of precision bombing operations in the Gaza Strip, as well as aid distribution and other footage of interest to the international community.

You've heard all about the disputes: "Silent Night" banned at the "holiday" program, artistic references to the Bible censored and faith-inclusive children's programs facing discrimination. Now some people are fed up with public school treatment of Christianity and have launched a campaign calling for a rescue of kids from government education programs - a "Call to Dunkirk." The name Dunkirk is famous for the hundreds of thousands of World War II allies saved in May 1940 when a flotilla of pleasure boats, fishing craft and others rescued the soldiers from the beaches near Dunkirk, France, where they were trapped by an advancing German army. Author David J. Knowles, who wrote a book on the rescue that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called a miracle, said volunteers including boat owners, fishermen - ordinary people instead of trained soldiers and sailors - crossed the English Channel to effect the rescue of about 340,000 people. Now, officials with Exodus Mandate have launched their "Call to Dunkirk" to advocate a departure from public schools.
Organization chief Chaplain E. Ray Moore, a retired military officer, said that at Dunkirk, "total disaster (was) averted by bold leadership and ordinary citizens answering the call." But he said in America, three-quarters or more of the Christian children, "are trapped in the state-run public schools."
Bruce Shortt, the author of "The Harsh Truth about Public Schools," said, "culture is shaped by how we're educated. Why should we be surprised we're losing culturally and politically when we continue to offer up our children as living sacrifices to the Molech of government schools?" he said.
My wife and I decided when we adopted our children not to allow them to be indoctrinated in government schools choosing instead to homeschool them. Now they have, surprise, advanced beyond their peers. The same goes for my nieces in Florida who are homeschooled also and are doing equally as well.

Conservatives Create Opportunities, Not Programs: Education [Digg]
For the past eight years (some might say twenty), conservatives in government have been acting like democrats. We’ve seen program after program implemented, give more and more control of our lives over to the government. This flies in the face of the true conservative principle of limited government. This, I believe, has been our greatest failure..
