  2. De Blasio Advisory Group Wants To Abolish Gifted Classes in NYC Public Schools: https://reason.com/2019/08/28/de-blasio-advisory-group-wants-to-abolish-gifted-classes-in-nyc-public-schools/ A gigantic race to the bottom, and using race as the scapegoat to gut talented and gifted programs. Shameful. But then again when it comes to government education everybody needs to just be the same cogs in the machine. As one of the comments to this story stated: "As a recovering public school teacher, and I can tell you that dumping everyone into one big mixing pot classroom ain’t gonna help. Teaching to the bottom only wastes the talent of the cream of the crop who could actually amount to something, while teaching only the brainiacs in a mixed classroom is nearly impossible while the future welfare cases are snoring loudly (at best). DeBlasio and his committee see only skin color and suckers for the “they’ve got more than you” tripe."
  3. Isn't Southwood the school where all the 'omg! athletes" end up at in Wabash county?
  4. https://reason.com/2019/08/27/the-meth-was-actually-honey/ Yep, the failed War on People.... err Drugs continues.......... And do we think the state will compensate Mr. Haugton for lost wages during his mistaken incarceration?
  5. I believe the Kokomo swim teams use the moniker "Katfish" (still can't spell).
  6. That wasn't an upset. Maconaquah was, is, and ever will be a basketball-first school. Sorry DT, no way is Frankfort, or Clinton county for that matter, to considered to be in the southern Indiana.
  7. Depends on one's perspective. 96-0. Never forget.
  8. Yes, a "lucky run", "once in a decade public school talent pool", etc. All of those were factors. Mr. Colby's "wing-t in a phonebooth" style of offense was a also a significant wrinkle a lot of opposing teams had not had to deal with before. Of course this style was of diminishing returns as opposing coached figured out ways to counter it and the talent pool slipped, hastening Mr. Colby's move to Kokomo High School.
  9. Agreed. Compare/contrast this: https://compass.doe.in.gov/dashboard/overview.aspx?type=school&id=0997 to this: https://compass.doe.in.gov/dashboard/overview.aspx?type=school&id=2565
  10. I think it is the agricultural runoff from off the surrounding farms and livestock barns getting into the Frankfort city water system. It seems the average lineman most years in the FHS varsity program is 5'10", 185lbs. This and the socioeconomic factors of the community mean many "omg! Athletes!" don't participate in sports or if they do they play soccer.
  11. So never forgetting the tragedy of 9/11 is being "butt hurt" about it . Got it.
  12. A prime example of the fallacy that the bigger the school the more potent the athletic programs should be, and the fallacy of the IHSAA's primarily enrollment based classification system. As I have stated before Frankfort is a "4A" school with an at best "2A" sized athletic talent base.
  13. But yet I am not a "fan" of either team involved. Just a supporter of Indiana High School football.
  14. Clinton Central Bulldogs deserve a vote or two in 1A. After all they did defeat a 4A school in their season opener.
  15. ? So this is some kind of "payback", and therefore justified? Is that your moral argument?
  16. https://mises.org/wire/ncaa-making-federal-case-out-private-rules-violations Actually, he is wrong. In 2005, federal prosecutors in Memphis successfully prosecuted the late Logan Young, a booster for the University of Alabama, for federal “crimes” related to his attempt to help recruit a prominent athlete to Alabama. In that case, federal prosecutors convicted Young of illegally withdrawing money and crossing state lines in order to commit bribery — even though there was no federal bribery statute to break, and no one had charged Young with breaking Tennessee state bribery laws. Although the latest set of prosecutions aimed at assistant basketball coaches is the first set of federal prosecutions for alleged NCAA violations, this round is much more ominous, as it gives federal prosecutors the green light to continue down this road, and we can expect prosecutors to expand their reach. Norlander is wrong about something else, or at least he is misleading. These prosecutions are not the result of Congress passing statutes regarding the policing of NCAA violations; in fact, Congress never has officially addressed this legal category in either civil or criminal law. Furthermore, while Evans officially was charged with “conspiracy to commit bribery,” there is NO federal bribery statute. Instead, federal prosecutors took it upon themselves to use existing federal criminal law and apply it in new categories, including one that has no authentic legal basis, something that should set off alarms in the legal community. Unfortunately, few people have protested this new incursion publicly. .... If there is fraud anywhere in this sorry affair, it is committed by federal prosecutors, defense attorneys, federal judges, and journalists. Federal prosecutors charge individuals with violations of private rules governing private organizations that are bundled into federal conspiracy laws alleging the breaking of non-existent statutes, creating illegal bills of attainder in the process; defense attorneys pressure their clients into pleading to such legal abominations; judges look the other way and sign off on these Rube Goldberg charges, and then journalists report these actions as though they had legal and moral legitimacy. Unfortunately, people in the American media and the legal community are celebrating these actions as though they were major moral advancements of law. They are not. If putting people into prison and ruining their lives because they “broke” laws that didn’t exist (or “conspired” to break them) is a form of legal and moral progress, then the world truly is upside down and everything we knew to be true is a lie. Wow, just wow. What a heinous and immoral overreach of the federal justice system. I hope their is a date in from the SCOTUS for this one, but then again most of the sheeple don't seem to care.

  17. Bernie Sanders' Plan To Save Newspapers Is Wrong on Every Level: https://reason.com/2019/08/27/bernie-sanders-plan-to-save-newspapers-is-wrong-on-every-level/ How true. Only rubes who hate freedom would vote for Mr. Sanders.

  19. Who exactly is "you" in your statement? And who exactly is "my" team?
  20. Hmm, that article is from June of 2017. Ahem: https://readthereporter.com/hamilton-heights-to-cut-ribbon-on-new-construction/
