Good for Middlebury for finaly growing a pair a cuting some of the sports. My money should go towards educat, as in science labs, not someones entertainment and glory. Times are tough and money is short. People need to take responsibility for themselves and not have their hand out asking for more. If parents want to watch their kids play a game, let them pay for it. Feed your own kid and quit asking me too. If your money is tight, cut the phone and cable tv. Show some pride and do for yourself. Rant over. Needed to get that out.

Construction, unions, police FOP and lobiest have too much money to support the politicians. Look at Killifornia, the strongest union in the state is the prison industrial complex. Look how broke they are. Nope. Gotta keep building and spending more money. After all, the tax payer is a sucker when you threaten them with the loss of their so called security.

What a sexually repressed, puritanical society we live in. Get over your moral superiority complex and open your minds.

It is standard police procedure to shoot a dog on site, during these raids.

This has an effect on all students. Yet we continue to pump large ammounts of money into sports teams, programs that only bennefit a few students. We should all be outraged by this.

That and the fabrication of evidence, covering up of facts and and wrong doing, wrong door and escalation of violence by there tactics. The swat teams break into the wrong home all the time and the resident kills a member of the raiding department in what is clearly self defense from an intruder. Guess what, he goes to jail while the members of the wrong door raid get a free pass. For a real eye opener, read a paper by Radley Balko titled "Overkill". If you don't think the police have overstepped their bound, this paper will change your mind.

We deserved much better representation. It is such a sad reflection on us the people of Indiana that we kept sending him back. His votes in support of GM, TARP, and other bail outs should have sent him packing. Thank the fates he is resigning.

Johny is acting like a normal energetic kid. Better put him on ritilin.

So does this mean legal card carying users are going to have the standard police raid SOP used against them? That being a know knock raid by the SWAT Team. Any dogs in the house shot on site. Risk being shot by a jumpy swat team member. roughed up, handcuffed, thrown to the ground with a gun at your head the entire time. If anything is said by you, you are told to STFU.

They have enslaved us by way of punitive taxation and other forms of theft. We now have taxes levied upon every man, woman, and child for merely existing in what was once a great land. Have you had enough yet? Are you finally willing to throw off the chains that we have found ourselves in? I believe it is time to come together and correct the course that this so called ruling class has chosen for us. It is not of our will or by our will the actions they have taken against the people of this land. Will you finally say enough? Will you finally throw these traitors of the American Constitution out? Have you reached the point in your heart where you will peacefully rebel against these oppressors? Please, let me stress peacefully. But, how long will you let this continue?

There are many free or reduced lunch programs instituted by school corporations that go way beyond federal and state mandates (partialy paid for by those entities, but where do you think that money comes from). A case in point are the schools who offer free lunches to kids during the summer when school is not in session. Any thoughts on the sports teams and facilities?

Sounds like the sports teams are a prime candidate for this. While we are at it, cut the free lunch. Make parents pay for the transportation of their kids to the baby sitter that is public education. Actual class room education, language in the case of this article, should be the last thing to cut. Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:00:29 +0000 http://www.wsbt.com/news/local/85074982.html#IDComment58419080 http://www.wsbt.com/news/local/84251052.html#IDComment56557807 So when will a serious descussion begin about the sports teams and othe "free" programs begin? If it does not relate directly to a students education, then cut it. Cut the sports teams. End the free lunches. Make parents pay for their kids transportation to school. My job as a taxpayer is to help pay for a students education. It is not to pay for the parents responsibilities and entertainment.

I doubt your fee comes close to paying for everything. In the mean time, the science lab, building trades, auto shop, real life needed skills suffer. Kids these days cant make change without a cash register. But hey, that doesn't matter. As long as little Johny and Susie and play foot ball or cheer leed, it's all good. Our current and emerging work force is ill prepared for the world today. Mostly due to parents lack of responsibility and their want of entertainment.

Start by cutting the programs that are not directly tied to the students education. If the parents want to live vicariously through their kids, then the parents can pay for them to be on a team.
