We've had that rule for years!

Who knew that DLHS could have been featured in the news? We've had that rule for years! Click here to find out what I'm talking about.

Anything to win . . .

For entertainment purposes . . . here's a crazy article about a high school basketball coach pulling out all the stops to get wins.

My favorite line in the article: The Kansas State High School Activities Association has no rules regarding hypnosis. Hillarious.

Blogging about the administrators . . .

Read a fascinating article about a case in Connecticut where a high school student is suing to have the right to blog disparaging comments about her school administrators without repercussion from the school - click here.

Regardless of the eventual outcome, it does bear asking: what is the mom thinking?

Lauren Doninger said she wished her daughter "had used more sophisticated language," but said it was up to her, not the school board, to mete out the punishment. "It's for me to discipline her at home, not for the school."

The mom's goal is for her daughter to use more sophisticated language as she publically criticized her administrators. Good parenting there.

"No Name Calling Week"

In case you missed it, last week was "No Name Calling Week" for 5th thru 8th graders in public schools all over the country. Sounds good until you realize the agenda behind the program. If you go to the webpage of teacher materials (CLICK HERE) you'll notice the GLSEN in the upper right hand corner. If you read the materials, you'll see what they really are: tools for indoctrinating middle school students to accept homosexual lifestyles.

I'd call the creators of the curriculum, "sneaky," but I'd hate to violate the spirit of "No Name Calling Week."
