“Cheat Sheet”

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/07/probe-of-atlanta-schools-finds-principals-teachers-directed-cheating-on-tests/1

A state investigation revealed rampant systematic cheating in Atlanta schools that involved 44 schools and 38 principals trying to make their schools look better on standardized tests.  Pending further discipline and possible criminal charges, the principals were all sent directly to their own offices.

The administrators who gave up their principles may wind up with schools without principals.

The state is looking for more answers, which the teachers were eager to give away.

The press are trying to help the public fill in the blanks, which is difficult, since many of the principals had already filled in the blanks supposed to be answered by students.

Some educators are defending their actions, saying that since these were standardized tests, all they had to do was making cheating the standard.

Some principals questioned offered answers, but it turns out they stole those answers from other principals around them.

“Holy Smoking Gun”

A gun-rights organization is fighting a new law in Georgia prohibiting guns in houses of worship. The organization has the support of several churches, who think trained, licensed gun carriers are good for protecting the congregation, and even better for encouraging donations to the collection plate.

Some churches want the law repealed, saying that guns historically help to get people on their knees, praying.

Some argue that alter boys should always be allowed to carry for self-defense.

If the law is changed, and guns are permitted in church, pastors would be allowed to talk about hell, and could say “brimstone,” but couldn’t yell “fire.”

Traditionally, shooting a gun at something is a great way to make it holy.
