Religion in Public Schools

This cartoon represents how the schools are teaching about religion, but the administrators/teachers/school board only want them teaching about the ones that aren't "crazy".  They should have a good reputation.  I think the artist did a good job with this cartoon.  He shows how people want to put religion back in schools, but only the "good" religions.  I agree that if they are going to compare them then they should teach all of the religions, even the crazy ones.

Hobos and Their Rights

check out the article!

Detroit's panhandlers are becoming more and more of a nuisance.  There have been about 15 incidents leading up to arrests in the past two years where these hobos got a little out of control with their begging.  The American Civil Liberties Union reported that many of these people were simply asking for spare change.
Do hobos have the right to do this?  Of course!  Everyone has the right to freedom of speech.  So why the arrests?  The city is trying to protect its citizens from harassment and threats.  Sounds a little extreme to me.  Just give them a couple bucks and your problem is solved.
