Ethnic and racial disproportionality in discipline persists

High stakes test question: A female science student conducts an experiment with chemicals that explode in a classroom, cause no damage and no injuries. Who gets to be the adventurous teenage genius mad scientist and who gets to be the criminal led away in handcuffs facing two felonies to juvenile hall?

Activists fear a greater anti-homosexual stance

Global Information Network

President Obama’s recent remarks giving “his personal view” on gay marriage caused a carousel of emotions around the world, with many Africans, including clerics from Kenya, where he has family ties, unable to reconcile with what they say, “God Himself objects.”

You have 24 hours in a day.

More than 1,400 minutes, around 86,000 seconds, and you still can’t get everything you need to do done.

Some days, you just want to clone yourself. With two of you, maybe you’d get finished. Double you, and you might actually get ahead.

Today compared with the days of Lot

There are biblical warnings to deter mankind from indulging in homosexuality. Leviticus 18:22 clearly warns against men indulging in sexual relationships with other men, and what God thinks about it. It reads, 22) You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination.

XXL’s seemingly homosexual undertone

Recently, while out shopping over the weekend, I came across a magazine vendor. As I was trying to decide which Hip Hop publication to purchase, there was one that stood out from the others.

The magazine did not stand out because one of my favorite artists was on the cover or because of some interesting rivalry brewing. This particular issue was peculiar due to the manner in which the two men on the cover were posed for the photograph.

Across Black America

Here’s a look at African American people and issues making headlines throughout the country.
 

Alabama
Freeman A. Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, will address the annual African American Business Council luncheon on June 28. Hrabowski, who is chairman of President Barack Obama’s Advisory Commission on Education Excellence for African Americans, has a national reputation for his work studying the performance of minority students in math and science. Hrabowski, named one of the 10 best college presidents in the country by Time magazine, was a child leader in the Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham in the 1960s.
 

Arkansas
The Liberty Counsel filed a motion and a brief in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas seeking to intervene on behalf of a Concepts of Life crisis pregnancy center to defend against a suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Reproductive Rights. The groups seek to impose a permanent injunction before the Human Heartbeat Protection Act goes into effect July 18. Liberty Counsel also filed a brief opposing the ACLU’s request for an injunction. The “Heartbeat” bill states that when a woman seeks an abortion at or after the 12th week, doctors must test for a fetal heartbeat before an abortion is performed and inform the pregnant mother that the child in her womb has a heartbeat. If a heartbeat is detected, a woman cannot have an abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, and if a mother’s life is in danger. “As we promised when the legislation was introduced, Liberty Counsel will defend this law without reservation for the people of Arkansas, born and pre-born,” said Matt Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel. “No right is more foundational than the right to life. Without life, all other rights are irrelevant,” concluded Staver.
