Nearly 1 in 5 Indiana students don’t attend their home school district. Here’s the impact of school choice: https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/indiana-school-choice-analysis-public-private-transfer-1-in-5-students-home-district?emci=1c39e1b6-982d-ef11-86d2-6045bdd9e096&emdi=ed4b483f-2f2e-ef11-86d2-6045bdd9e096&ceid=577105 In my neck of the woods the Community Schools of Frankfort has lost almost 14% of it's students, most of them probably going to Clinton Prairie and Rossville: Love that 99.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunches, btw. Clinton Central school corp. has several billboards up around Frankfort, advertising it's services to potential transfers. And CC will also currently send a bus to Frankfort for pickups and drop offs. That has to cost some $.

Why? Do you believe the USA should officially be a Christian Nation, that the federal or a state government should make Christianity the official religion?

Why? Mr. Beckwith has described himself as such.

You don't believe Mr. Beckwith is a Christian Nationalist?

So Cathedral has at most a 15% chance at a 6A title? Really?

Like you said: criminal felony prosecution and defense. Either or.

Suh a kind comment to a new GID member.

https://reason.com/2024/06/15/house-passes-bill-to-automatically-register-young-men-for-the-draft/ There is a growing centrist consensus among liberals and hawkish conservatives on expanding the Selective Service. The American Civil Liberties Union, for example, is fighting for the right of women to be conscripted and argues that the Selective Service is an example of overt sex discrimination. But equality in the service of a broader deprivation of rights is no virtue, and conscription remains an immoral institution at its core. "Conscription of any kind contravenes any constitution that professes to guarantee individual liberties," Fred Etcheverry wrote in Reason in 1972, when the draft remained an active menace to young men. "Otherwise, what is to prevent conscription from being the twelve months Senator Taft feared or the two years we now have, the four years of the National Service Act Bill, or forever? If conscription is limited to an emergency, then who decides what is an emergency? Is ten percent unemployment a sufficient enough emergency to warrant conscription?" Mandatory national service of some sort or another is a perennial bad idea trotted out by nationalists and technocrats concerned about "unity," but America's all-volunteer military is not a self-inflicted weakness. It's a sign of strength—a free citizenry's confidence that they will know when to fight. The Selective Service is a vestige of fear. It should be abolished, not made more equitable and efficient. Agreed. The Selective Service needs to be thrown into the dustbin of history. It is an inhumane institution.

$100,000 a year is a lot of money. And add benefits to that. What should be the starting salary for a government attorney? For a primarily urban or rural county.

I'm going with Penn.

Let's start with this: Briggs: Mike Braun deserves every minute of his new political hell https://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/columnists/james-briggs/2024/06/17/micah-beckwith-isnt-here-to-play-no-2-to-the-next-indiana-governor/74117500007/ It appears the political left is really afraid of this Beckwith character, and to some extent parts of the Indiana GOP as well. Can Mr. Braun control him if he wins the election? Does having a Christian Nationalist like Mr. Beckwith holding a political office move Indiana just a sliver closer to the reality depicted in The Handmaid's Tale?

Yes it is a crap hole. Needs natural grass. Does it still have a golf course that surrounds it? I remember during my ISU days going there to play a round of golf and instead of you know, actually trying to get the ball in the hole we took turns seeing how many balls we could drive into the stadium onto the field.

Another NBA great passes away: https://sports.yahoo.com/nba-legend-jerry-west-dies-at-age-86-134646038.html Truly one of the NBA greats, and the de-factor face of the league still today.
