equality

Please elaborate on that? I hear these type of statements everyday but yet they are never backed up with any kind of proof. In the rare times that the speaker is actually questioned, the predictable replies will be "Duh?", or "You don't know what it's like to be a black/minority in America", or references to 50+ years ago and slavery. You never get responses referring to the trillions of dollars spent on Civil Rights, redistribution, Affirmative Action, urban development, minority outreach in every type of job imaginable, etc.

Explain to me how Affirmative Action is not racism?  For the life of me, I cannot see how it isn't.  Talk about inequality!

Exactly as I stated in my post. You won't acknowledge any of the laws and standards enacted in the last 50 years...you have to resort to the slavery argument. So predictable and so tiresome.

And it is also predictable and tiresome that you won't answer the question posed.

I'm sure you'll just convince yourself it's impossible to argue with a board full of Right Wing nutcases. Again, predictable and tiresome.

I guess we'll have to wait for another topic for you to make an asinine comment then run from it. Shouldn't take long.

So you're looking for someone to "care" about you in the fed gov...good luck.

I've been working since i was 12 years old. So the answer to your question is no. I do care about the elderly, kids that are in need and adults that are truly in need. "not just abusing the system".

And im tired of some of the rhetoric that you guys preach all the time also. Maybe you need to learn something about people that are not like you before you make asinine uneducated comments

This is the hidden content, please

This article was written by Paul Waldman, a senior Fellow for Media Matters, an organization that had its beginning with the assistance of the Center for American Progress( a Democratic think tank) and some funding from Moveon.org.  Of course, the aformentioned organizations "certainly" have no political bias associated with them.  Pure and objective as the wind driven snow.

    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
