What about Frances Slocum, aka Maconaquah?? Methinks the earlier generation who directed the consolidation that created my dear alma mater may have engaged in some despicable cultural appropriation. Shouldn't the name be changed to something more geographically appropriate like South Miami?

Not the only one in the state, and this is a "4A" school:

Bari Weiss Resigns from New York Times Due To ‘Constant Bullying’ By Colleagues: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/bari-weiss-resigns-from-new-york-times-due-to-constant-bullying-by-colleagues/

Catholic Church lobbied for taxpayer funds, got $1.4B https://apnews.com/dab8261c68c93f24c0bfc1876518b3f6 Yep, a feeding frenzy of free money. And the Church is almost always first in line.

Same for DeWitt Clinton County.

Biden Tries To Buy Rust Belt Votes With Protectionist 'Buy American' Plan https://reason.com/2020/07/13/joe-bidens-buy-american-plan-is-a-hot-mess-of-protectionism/

I wonder who the cancel culture Karens who whined about it were?

Did someone say unicorns?:

There are 92 Indiana counties. One third are named for men who have ties to slavery https://www.indystar.com/story/news/history/2020/07/14/indiana-counties-named-people-ties-slavery/5366898002/ *SHAME* *SHAME* *SHAME* Shouldn't the residents of these counties, if they truly cared about this despicable heritage foisted on to them by their ancestors, rise up and demand the names of these counties be changed?

So this is not publicly released data? If it is may I please have the link so it can just be a "click away" for all of us?

May I please ask where this data comes from?

So if that is a 50% increase you would happily pay it? And you know what they say about government and taxes.............................

Defense attorney: Vauhxx Booker was 'instigator and agitator' in July 4 Lake Monroe incident https://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2020/07/13/lake-monroe-incident-attorney-says-booker-instigator-and-agitator/5427775002/

He was my history, social studies, and government teacher for grades K-12. Small government school. Again, how much more in property taxes are you willing to pony up to maintain current government spending levels?

Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Manipulators Are More Likely To Engage in 'Virtuous Victim Signaling,' Says Study: https://reason.com/2020/07/07/narcissists-psychopaths-and-manipulators-are-more-likely-to-engage-in-virtuous-victim-signaling-says-study/?itm_source=parsely-api Their results suggest that: "a perceived victim signal can lead others to transfer resources to a victim, but that the motivation to do so is amplified when the victim signal is paired with a virtue signal" and "people high in the Dark Triad traits emit the dual signal more frequently." "a positive correlation between the Dark Triad scores and the frequency of emitting the virtuous victim signal." "evidence of how these signals … can predict a person's willingness to engage in and endorse ethically questionable behaviors …. frequent virtuous victim signalers are more willing to purchase counterfeit products and judge counterfeiters as less immoral compared with less frequent signalers, a pattern that was also observed when using participants' Dark Triad scores instead of their signaling score," and "frequent virtuous victim signalers were more likely to cheat and lie to earn extra monetary reward in [a] coin flip game." "that a dimension referred to as amoral manipulation was the most reliable predictor of virtuous victim signaling." "frequent virtuous victim signalers were more likely to make inflated claims to justify receiving restitution for an alleged and ambiguous norm violation in an organizational context." The authors stress that they "do not refute the claim that there are individuals who emit the virtuous victim signal because they experience legitimate harm and also conduct themselves in decent and laudable ways."

Pretty much., yes. How much more in property taxes are you willing to pony up to maintain current government spending levels?

Also possibly next in line any school with "Rebels" in it's mascot name. Too big of a connotation with the confederate states and slavery.

Local governments weigh major tax hikes to plug coronavirus-induced shortfalls. Property tax rates in Nashville will be increasing by 34 percent: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/local-governments-weigh-major-tax-hikes-to-plug-coronavirus-induced-shortfalls How about, you know, reducing spending if your don't have the income to support it? Oh yeah, I forgot. The welfare state must be maintained at practically any cost, if keeps people dependent on government and justifies the politicians lust for power.

Ahh yes. The answer is always just throw more money at commuter rail systems, that will somehow magically force individuals to actually use it.

https://reason.com/2020/07/10/john-roberts-just-annoyed-everybody-is-he-the-new-anthony-kennedy/ It surely is. And will likely be for at least another decade to come................

https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/house-passes-transportation-bill-20s-1920s Agreed. Members of Congress must be getting some pretty sweet kickbacks from the private industries that stand to gain from such outdated legislation.

lol, those are humorous. Where is the one for Indiana Dunes "National Park"? 🤭

What about the guy who wants to play football and tennis? Cross county? Marching Band? About the only crossover I have seen with playing both football and soccer is the place kicker. Makes sense. As for the field, when my child played high school soccer the only fields we encountered where both football and soccer were played were artificial turf fields, so overuse was not an issue. The schools with natural grass had separate football and soccer fields.
