Would you support a state constitutional amendment that lets the Legislature avoid increasing funding for school districts?
A private system would only benefit the wealthy to the determent of the poor. Capitalism only breeds greed. Profit will be the only motivating factor; not the quality of education. Supporters of a private system will say people will bring their business elsewhere if the quality is not up to par. But what about the poorest students who cannot vote with their dollar? A voucher system will only go so far to protect the most vulnerable.

Lawrence Laundry: UGG boots a point of contention
I love my UGG's. My UGG's are the knitted kind and are sooooo warm! I do not wear them for style, though, even though they're adorable (as shoes can be)!

Liberals have never been in charge of our schools. We briefly had a democratic governor at a point, but not liberal. Nice try.

Sound Off: Naming suspects
You know, as well as anyone else, that sexual crimes carry a stigma that far outweighs any other crime. Other crimes are forgotten faster, too.

Sound Off: Naming suspects
If someone is accused but eventually found not guilty, their name and reputation is already destroyed if it is mentioned in the newspapers. Many people will believe they are guilty simply because they were accused.

Lawrence woman files lawsuit against Lawrence Wal-Mart alleging sexual harassment
How could you say such a disgraceful thing? You do not know what happened. I do, and it was horrible. I feel so bad for the victim.

Lawrence woman files lawsuit against Lawrence Wal-Mart alleging sexual harassment
I know the person that was harassed. I would tell that right away if called in for jury duty. There is overwhelming evidence of which I cannot mention specifics in support of her suit. This will be an easy case to win.

Lawrence woman files lawsuit against Lawrence Wal-Mart alleging sexual harassment
How about the culture experienced by the victim in our local Walmart; the practice of ignoring the sexual harassment issues brought up by employees.

Lawrence woman files lawsuit against Lawrence Wal-Mart alleging sexual harassment
In the business law class I took in the Master's program, we studied Walmart extensively as examples of legal suits brought on by employees. Walmart has the most suits and cases of sexual harassment and discrimination than any of the other major corporations. They usually lose, too.
