When I first heard about this story, as many of us did, I thought for sure, the young high school student would never be found alive. According to news accounts, a high school teacher had broken her neck, along with other injuries she sustained and police found her barely alive last week. We've seen in the news a lot teachers sexually assaulting children or having relationships with their young students. This case is particularly disturbing because the teacher had left the young woman to die. Who by the way, is still not out of the woods, she remains in critical condition, fighting for her life. I'm not trying to bring gloom and doom to these posts. My objective to is make everyone aware that violence has become a way of life at so many levels it's down right scary. And as parents everyone must do their part to know where their kids are, even at 17 years of age. Don't be too busy in your life. By paying attention you, just might save a life.

Colleges and universities, like the institutions of free press and free speech, are supposed to carry out their "need to know" functions in a responsible manner. Practically everyone would agree that the basic purpose of a college or university is to create new knowledge and teach both old and new knowledge. Few would also disagree that academic freedom might be an appropriate tool for accomplishing that purpose. However, sometimes the exercise of intellectual dissent under the guise of academic freedom is misguided and just plain wrong. For example :
Lover of Angels, apparently known to some as Dr. Julio C. Pino, Professor of Kent State University has attracted the gaze of anti-terrorist activists. While LOA hasn't shown anything but reasonable deference in his comments on this blog, (much obliged, Dr.) he has definitely used his own blog, a school computer to author the site global-war, as a stump for pro-islamofascism. His anti-American writings have many readers incensed and determined to see him removed from his post as a professor at a public university in Ohio.
