The Metro Nashville Board of Education passed a massive rezoning plan Tuesday after months of emotional arguments that it would adversely affect racial balance at several schools.

A price tag is placed on resegregation:

One new revelation: Additional resources promised for North Nashville schools, where many students would be returning under the plan, would run $4 to $6 million.

I've been saying for quite a while here that the faces of homelessness have changed.  People who have never before ever even imagined they could end up homeless are now showing up at my office, looking for help in any way they might be able to get it.  

Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Republican Presidential candidate John McCain now support off-shore drilling off the western coast of Florida.

Amy Griffith reports on the school rezoning recommendations of an 11-member task force led by MNPS school board member Mark North:

April is child abuse awareness month, and of all the world’s problems today, none is more important. Malachi 4-6 says “He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.”

Crime is on the rise and times are getting weird with the Gov'ment wanting to flow our money back to us in order to prime the economy pump. I think the cash would be better spent somewhere in the education or health care system in real dollars per person not some whacked out program that has a crew of over paid council members and directors.
