Oh. And if you want a little taste of the straight dope... Do some searching for the "Hughes Salution" I have a feeling that some searching and reading in to this will lead you in some very interesting directions. There is a massive political agenda at work here. Both the schools and the libraries have changed considerably since this little venture. Bob Hughes came up with a cunning plan to enforce his own views and agendas and what not by doing what, well, er, whatever it was he did. I am still not sure what you would call it.
Several of the new libraries are named after him. He's the man with the plan. He bailed out the city school system and library system when they were $933 million in debt. The plan was multi part. There was the public face, which everybody saw and he became some sort of hero, and there was the other stuff... The not so public face. Our schools are already the worst in the nation. Books started disapearing from the schools. Books with questionable content. Grapes of Wrath. The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Anne Frank. Some stuff by Mark Twain. People showed concern about these missing books... And school librarians insisted that they were either checked out and not returned, or otherwise missing or just misplaced. Even before the big debate hit the media about evolution vs ID, our schools had already slipped in to ID as a model, teaching that dinosaurs didn't really exist and that the bones were all a hoax, and so on and so on.
Just thought you might be interested in finding the real truth. :whistling:
The schools are being rebuilt, the portable classrooms are slowly disapearing, the libraries are being upgraded and rebuilt, huge multi million dollar glass and steel modern art deco buildings, and things are being dragged in to the modern age... But at the cost of being shadowed by a group of folk with an agenda and an entire generation of children having their education distorted.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
