Very interesting article. It was great to hear what local teens are thinking about the election, especially in terms of race and gender. Thanks for the thoughtful and timely article, Jessie.

The house she was visiting is the house of Linda Heiseger aka the women that calls and complains about the landfill 45 times a month at a cost of $650 a wack. Nice hidden agenda.

I have to agree with the couples who were suing. My children attend a public school in which they were introduced to homosexuality long before I planned on teaching them. I think the point is why is it ok for this to be a discussion, yet when my son mentions the name Jesus Christ he is immediately sent to the principals office. You can't pick and choose what you ban from being taught. I was very offended that other childrens upbringings were allowed to be discussed amongst the class, yet my son was persecuted for his upbringing. each child should be allowed the opportunity to speak about there lives without having to be cautious. My son now choses not to participate in class discussions for fear of being punished and he's only 7.

Whatever will we do, how will we handle it, two whole scenes scrapped, how will I see Mel for two seconds so I can properly worship him?

"During a break a masseuse rubbed his neck.". This is newsworthy??? Please.

With the increase in scores on such tests that are the basis of standards-based reform, it is interesting to note that we have also seen an increase in the number of students entering higher education needing developmental or remedial work. Another interesting sidenote in the NCLB scam being foisted on the public. There is a vast difference between schools getting better and scores getting better and the production of better students. It seems to me that improved scores don't lead to better schools or better students. I guess that is what happens when start teaching tests and stop teaching people.

If they are done filming at the Jeffways' house I sure do wish they'd move the orange cones along Elm Street and Harrison Ave. They've been there for at least 3 days and their placement on Harrison makes turning onto that street dangerous. I don't think it was the city that placed them along the street, either, but the movie people.

Anti-Semitism is now seen as "perfectly acceptable" by the "psuedo-liberals of Northampton, Mr.Victor Weinblatt? You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Every radical needs a monster to push their hateful agenda and Weinblatt has not only chosen Gibson but the "HYPOCRITIC NATION", aka. all the citizens of Northampton Ma. Let us all repent for the high crime of having the rare chance of watching a movie be made! Question Mr. Weinblatt: Have you written to the owner of the movie studio financing this picture? They may fit your meaning of hypocrit. Wake Up!
