If you believe in Gun control for citizens, but not for politicians, then this…Read More may be for you.

If only there were no hidden agendas, and the mission was to truly encourage critical thinking and…Read More objectivity when pondering the origin of rights and responsibilities, and the elements of a civil society. I suspect not even 1% of the parents have a clue about much, if any of the underlying ideology behind this organization. While they do a good job of raising awareness about serious issues regarding hunger, poverty, health, etc., they're solutions tend towards an authoritarian central-planning requirement as evidenced by their strong reliance on UN, and socialist principles.
It's almost fraudulent the way their "educational" materials promote this facade of critical thinking in the analysis of all issues, while guiding the students towards a pre-defined solution that fits the personal agendas of the founders and their cohorts.
As far as i'm concerned this organization is 1 part social awareness and 3 parts socialist indoctrination.

Congrats to Lizzy! Your fundraising has brought awareness to your community, family, and friends.…Read More Kudos to Ms. Gray for teaching jump rope - an inexpensive piece of athletic equipment that anyone can buy and can keep your students physically fit throughout their lives. Thanks for the feel good story!

It is interesting that 10th graders show higher rates of depression and suicidal thoughts than the…Read More 12th graders. I wonder if that is usually the case or if it correlates with with some outside influence, such as war, 9/11 or economy, during an important milestone in their lives.

Good news about tobacco use. I do find it depressing that teens consider marijuana use less risky…Read More while thoughts of suicide are going up. Studies have shown a direct correlation of marijuana addiction to depression and suicide.

What's going on in our schools? When I was a kid (in the UK), the gym coaches wore tracksuits,…Read More whistles and rarely conversed with the kids other than giving instructions. They were firm but fair. Seems nowadays anything's on the table. From dating students to being 'Friends' on Facebook. Meanwhile, both parents are 'busy' with work through the week and then make sure little Johnny's weekend is jam-packed with sporting events so that they don't have to think about 'family interactions' too much.
It's a strange new world.

I'm fine with it.
The ideological intransigence on matters of budget, taxation and spending leaves…Read More little recourse for those that consider these items of national priority. I am saddened that political brinkmanship continues to wreak havoc on personal lives, and that so many citizens blame each other or the "other side" rather then hold all members of Congress and our President responsible for this ongoing failure of government to govern.

Fair enough, Edward. Dexterjibs' comments have disappeared from time to time, and you have observed…Read More the reason why. We often give no warning for folks like that.
I am also aware of what a "troll" is in online parlance, thanks.

"Trent is a very delicate, sensitive guy. I am surprised he is married to a lady."
"You again, Joe H, geez you are like a little gnat"
"Sounds like you are a sensitive little guy, Trent, so i want call you names."
"Sorry Joe, i am not a gullible fool like you."
...ad nauseum.
It irritates me that I got a public warning for calling an obvious troll a troll, while the troll gets a pass.

Way to go, Northshore! Titans Rule! All Northwest, wow; what an honor. Was at All Northwest in…Read More Spokane in the spring of 1961. Still one of my fondest memories of A. C. Davis High School music dept. You're going to have a ball. Congratulations to you all.

We reap what we sow as a society...We desensitize our kids by letting them play shoot ‘em up…Read More games for entertainment, or watching ‘raw’ TV, and when they can't sleep at night or develop behavior issues we put them on anti-depressant drugs which only make matters worse... (There is a direct correlation here between these drugs and suicidal rates, check it out!) It is time to wake up and start acting like responsible parents and teaching our kids how to be useful citizens and leaders in a changing world.
