The time for school choice is past due
I bring this up because the public-school education establishment (to be distinguished from the rank-and-file teachers, many of whom are dedicated public servants), often treat their customers as if they’re wrong, and as if the education elites know better than the parents.
$100,000 gone with the wind
Some people have enough money to burn. Others seem to have enough to simply throw down the toilet. Such was the case the other day with Kodak Black, a 24-year-old rapper, who was recorded throwing hundred-dollar bills off a boat into the ocean.

In our highly secular age, it's almost not surprising to see God or Jesus left out of a supposedly prayer-centered statement. In a dissenting opinion to a church-state case in 1984, Lynch v. Donnelly, the Supreme Court referred to the phenomenon of “ceremonial deism.” This implies references to God that “have lost through rote repetition any significant religious content.”
