Imagine... ..you could get your ass out of jail....

Mark David Chapman will not be allowed to leave prison. The parole board wanted to take no chances in him being responsible for a Beatles reunion. His 20-years to-life will now be at least 24 years. I am hoping he meets an inmate named Maxwell while there.

He has three "incidents" on his prison record. Jailers have said that any more "incidents" and he will be forced to listen to the Yoko Ono box set 100 times.

A very cool story on kids reading to dogs.

From Dog News a link to a story about how children reading to dogs helps increase their reading comprehension, improve their confidence level, and helps get them involved in school activities. The dogs seem to like it also. A very cool read

Intolerance for Everyone!

Christian groups allege anti-bullying program promotes gay agenda.

The West Virginian Family Foundation has accused The Civil Rights Team Project of using its anti-bullying program to promote the gay agenda and to promote homosexuality as a normal lifestyle in state schools. They believe that the program is an attempt to help give gays and lesbians special status as a protected class under state hate-crimes laws.

The project was organized by the states attorney general's office and modeled after a program started in 1996. It uses peers to help stop name calling and bullying and improve the climate of the schools for all.

Project organizers say they deal with intolerance of all kinds - racial, ethnic, sexual, religious and homophobic. However, schools participating in the program may choose to deal with issues that are most affecting their students. One school may use the program to focus on primarily racial intolerance and not gay intolerance.

While the Family Foundation does not want the project to teach tolerance for homosexuals, it does accuse the anti-bullying program of not doing enough to promote tolerance for Christianity.

[T]he Family and Culture Institute has received a growing number of harassment complaints from Christians who say they are being bullied because of their traditional beliefs and values.

"Why can't we have something in the manual that says don't pick on Christians?"

Because if we try to educate people about your lifestyle, and discourage them from picking on you, aren't we just promoting your agenda?

Ignorant racists backwater students from Lowndes County insist on being,..... ignorant and racist.

Mock lynchings using a black-painted Barbie and racist graffiti are littering Lowndes County High School. The letters "KKK" have been found scrawled in a boy's bathroom. Educators believe that the students were just being immature and that these incidents do not reflect the true nature of the school.

Lowndes County High School is 25 percent black. It is located in Valdosta, Georgia, which was not known for being a hotbed of civil right activities at any time.

Couldn't they just buy a black Barbie? Or do the discount stores down there not sell the black Barbies? I bet they sell white sheets!
