... have now been sanctioned for not meeting the requirements of No Child Left Behind and segregated high poverty schools account for most of the "dropout factories" at the center of
the nation's dropout crisis. I wonder how Marshall today would judge the victory in Brown when even Plessy's inadequate fallback remains elusive. -Kathleen Bergin

... by seven of the nine students involved in the first lawsuit plus two donors. It claimed that under Virginia trust law, the board of trustees can't use the college's assets once it

... ago I took part in a women's erotic writing and performance group called "Gynomite" and I have on occasion, written some rauchy feminist porn for fun and expression. I love Susie

... , the diminutive wife of the president . . . delivers impassioned pledges to continue the renovation of Argentina. They might have mentioned that President-elect Fernandez joins
seven other Presidents and four Prime Minsters who also happen to be women. But then there'd be less room to talk about her hair. -Kathleen A.

... year when four such books appeared in the top 10. Without justifying the ugly homophobia underlying this censhorship, perhaps there is a silver lining if the backlash itself is
responding to an actual increase in the number of books - and children's books in particular - that portray homosexuality in a natural and positive light. -Kathleen A. Bergin

Not sure what's worse: (1) that this question was asked; (2) McCain's insulting response; or (3) that 67% of poll respondents (when I cast my vote) think he did a "good job" handling

... the primary (though not exclusive) purpose of sexually exploiting women. I wonder how feminist linguists read Connection Distributing. Does she or he champion female sexual
independence or excuse the rampant misogyny behind anti-feminist pornography by portraying women as active and willing participants in their own exploitation? -Kathleen A. Bergin
