The 15 year old who held students and a teacher hostage at Marinette High school knew that no one would else had a weapon and that he would have full control of the situation. It's time we start letting teachers and students defend themselves. Otherwise they're just sitting ducks, thanks Herbie!

Keep The Kids Fed
Well its rare but I have reversed my position on providing school breakfast to underprivileged children. During my time as Principal for a Day at Madison East High School, I learned that there are kids who are homeless, kids with zero parental supervision, and some students that may only show up for a few days and then disappear. Washington, DC has even come up with an early dinner program to encourage kids to be involved with after school programs that help them academically. It isn't the school's job to feed our children but that doesn't mean it isn't a smart investment and the ethically thing to do.

Whitley Strieber - Memories of Mind Control and Childhood Abuse
01/09/10 Subscriber Special: Whitley Strieber's Childhood Tragedy
Whitley Strieber writes, "For years, I have grappled with strange memories from early childhood that suggested involvement in some sort of abusive program. But I was never sure what these memories meant, until, in December of 2009, I received corroboration that has shocked me deeply."
Listen as Whitley details his memories, and also discusses just why it is that he feels that organizations like the False Memory Syndrome Foundation are not to be trusted.
There is evidence that children have been abused in efforts to induce split personalities, among other things.
What Whitley has to say will shock you. It will anger you. But it will also inform you about a hidden area of life that cannot continue to be overlooked, and a practice that must be stopped.
This Week In Palestine: Human Rights, Water, Imprisonment, Torture and Abuse of Children at Israel's Hands
Today we have the pleasure of speaking about Gaza and Palestinian prisoners with Dr. Nancy Murray. I would like to first talk to you about a very special situation in Gaza which highlights how Palestinian human rights are flagrantly violated every day, before we join with Dr. Murray, roughly 20 minutes into this program.
You are probably aware that the Palestinian people have been systematically deprived of one the most basic necessities of life, for more than sixty years: Water.
The Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA)'s appeal for the holidays is to remember the children of Gaza, in particular, it's making an appeal to its newest MAIA project (maia means water in Arabic), an ambitious long-term initiative to address one of the most harmful features of the Israeli Occupation and the blockade of Gaza - the systematic denial of clean, safe drinking water. MECA's statement indicates that today, the health and wellbeing of virtually every Palestinian child and adult is threatened by the shortage of clean, safe water.
That's why MECA has launched the Maia Project, to install water desalinization and purification systems in Gaza schools, kindergartens and nurseries.
This effort began in 2007 when children at the UN school in Bureij Refugee Camp, Gaza held an election to choose one thing they most wanted for their school: the children voted for drinking water. MECA supporters contributed the funds to install a large unit, faucets and drinking fountains at this school (mecaforpeace.org/article.php?id=291) and one other--providing drinking water for 4,000 students and staff.
MECA's partner in Gaza, Afaq Jadeeda (New Horizons) has prepared a list of twenty schools, kindergartens and pre-schools where--with your help --MECA can build water systems in the coming year.

When parents are incarcerated, often there are devastating consequences for their children. The rate of women serving time in prison has increased, leaving many children of inmates with extended family and foster homes. Because of the stigma experienced by previously incarcerated people, many parents find it extremely hard to regain custody of their children, even after they're released from jail. Join Nurse Rona, Robin Rederford, Community Liaison for Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, and Cari Santibanes, LCSW, Director of Services at Friends Outside, to discuss the challenges that families with incarcerated parents face.
