METHOD VS. MADNESS

MATHOD VS. MADNESS

Students at JSU are experiences some interesting times. However, I don’t believe that many of them have cared to stop and reflect as to the occurrences of the past two weeks. Not to mention the plumbing problems experienced by the City. The result of “white flight” and its former mayor.

Let’s review:
· The State Legislature is spending much too much time trying to fix a budget that has, at its core, the destruction of public education as we know it. The question is WHY? The headline read: “MISSISSIPPI PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE 65% MINORITY”;
· Economic “give-a-ways” continue at a time when the State is in need of more funding. THANK ABOUT IT!!
· The State Senate, which has a Dixiecrat-Republican majority, restored funding to education only to have the governor take half of that away.
· Oh! by the way funds were shifted from education to PRISONS. WATCH OUT!!!
· Not to mention the ingenious MERGER to JACOBS STATE UNIVERSITY.
· One should not forget that the person with many of these great ideas is the Father of the States Academy System that was born as a result of Integration.

This is just food for thought. Eat it, digest it, and comment on the BLOG.
