Comment on Danville eliminates middle school principal post by Anonymous http://www.mountvernonnews.com/blog/2011/05/17/danville-eliminates-middle-school-principal-post/comment-page-1/#comment-8331 Anonymous Fri, 20 May 2011 18:33:00 +0000 u00a0I sincerely disagree. Education is not just the simple transfer of information and any view similar to that will ruin our chances at having a well-educated younger generation. It's also quite astonishing that adults, who had the benefit of these courses, are sending the message that the young people don't need these or we can't afford them. I thought the idea was to have your children go beyond you and accomplish even more in life. Let's lift up our children, not restrict their opportunities. u00a0I sincerely disagree.

Comment on Family presents concerns about teacher's license by Jessica Massa-Crowthers http://www.mountvernonnews.com/blog/2011/05/20/family-presents-concerns-about-teachers-license/comment-page-1/#comment-8330 Jessica Massa-Crowthers Fri, 20 May 2011 18:24:00 +0000 This has gotten to be rediculous. Mr. Freshwater was a good teach and a good person and would not endanger his students. It is a shame that people take advantage of our public school system and a persons carreer the way this family has. As to the comments about religion, if parents don't want their kids exposed to this, they shouldnt have the FCA in schoolsu00a0either. If someone is that threatened by another having a bible on their desk at their place of work,u00a0then don't look at it.u00a0This has been a sad point for our community and a sad look at what our country in becoming as a whole. u00a0 This has gotten to be rediculous.

Comment on County residents joining fight to repeal SB5 by Anonymous http://www.mountvernonnews.com/blog/2011/05/20/county-residents-joining-fight-to-repeal-sb5/comment-page-1/#comment-8329 Anonymous Fri, 20 May 2011 18:11:00 +0000 u00a0I'm so tired of the unions spreading their lies about SB5. u00a0This is an issue of the State of Ohio not having any money due to the high-tax, anti-business, ultra-pro-union policies of Bob Taft and Ted Strickland. Governor Kasich is trying to dig the state out of the hole that our last two governors have dug us into. u00a0To the opponents of SB5, let me ask you this: u00a0would you rather every worker take a very reasonable cut (which is what this law has done), or would you rather 20% of the teachers, cops, and firemen lost their jobs? u00a0I think it's a no-brainer. u00a0Let the workers contribute a bit more to their own benefits and retirement (still nowhere near what private sector workers contribute to their's) so that workers don't have to be let go.u00a0nnFans of public-sector unions need to understand that simply raising taxes on the wealthy to meet their demands doesn't work. u00a0It only drives the wealth-creators away from the state, which means fewer people are employed, which means the state takes in a LOT less tax revenue, which means that the state has to either let go of workers or ask state workers to take a small cut or contribute a small amount to their own benefits. u00a0 u00a0I’m so tired of the unions spreading their lies about SB5. u00a0This is an issue of the State of Ohio not having any money due to the high-tax, anti-business, ultra-pro-union policies of Bob Taft and Ted Strickland.

At least all this attention makes the whole of religion look like one giant collection of mentally ill idiots.nnAnd let us not forget that the Seventh Day Adventists got their start with a prediction of the end of the world in upstate New York in 1843-1844. They are as nuts about this as any other religion with their own particular eschatology. u00a0I sincerely hope the Yes votes to the poll are intended to poke fun at the serious attention the media has been giving this whackjob Chapman fellow.
