It is time to make a change!
By Maria Scott on Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013
It is time to make a change! Fifteen percent of the world's children, excluding China, are engaged in child labor. These are children working in dreadful conditions, being forced to grow up fast because of their impoverished conditions. Viking New Tech, a school within Huntington North, is making a stride to end child labor by helping people become informed... Read More...

Guns Don't Kill, People Do
By Dean Beery on Tuesday, January 29th, 2013
Editor,
Guns don’t kill, people do. I understand the sentiment, but a gun makes it a lot easier and an assault gun with many rounds of ammunition has made too many massacres possible.
Let’s be honest here. There are restrictions on guns now. You can’t go out and buy a machine gun or a rocket propelled grenade for personal use... Read More...

The Eleventh Hour
By Jo Neal on Friday, November 16th, 2012
The elventh month, the eleventh day
In the hour of eleven it was ended
One year later proclaimed Armistice Day
Reveling those, our country by them defended.
On June one of 1954 Veteran's Day it became
And it still remains

Why I Will Vote Glenda Ritz for State Superintendent of Public Instruction
For everyone interested in the election for State Superintendent, I want to answer one question before November 6th:
Why have I worked feverishly to support Glenda Ritz for State Superintendent of Public Instruction?
Current superintendent Tony Bennett’s agenda is a thinly-veiled attempt to allow private corporation take-over of public education... Read More...
iPad Concern Expressed
By a Huntington parent on Sunday, October 14th, 2012
Can a “21st Century Learning Initiative” Succeed Without Old-Fashioned Common Sense?
In the 19th century, young Hoosiers rarely ventured far from home. Some went to school, when the family could afford it. Yet most of what a child learned to prepare them for adulthood would have been taught at home... Read More...

Before 2012 State of Education Speech
By Horace Mann on Tuesday, September 25th, 2012
Tony Bennett is scheduled to give his third “State of Education” tomorrow night (Tuesday) in Indianapolis.
After he gave his first such speech in 2010, I wrote an article about data exaggerations he used in his speech. I have reviewed the article from two years ago, and I believe it is appropriate to reprint it for you here as preparation for the speech tomorrow night and as part of the “hold Tony Bennett accountable plan” which culminates in the election on November 6th...

Will Republican Voters in Indiana Get Hoodwinked Again?

By Dean Beery on Thursday, September 6th, 2012
