White pupils will be minority (overall) in US public schools for first time this year
http://www.bbc.com/news/education-28937660 I wonder how this is sticking in American racists' craws? Any concerns about this? Or is this a 100% good thing? The only thing I can think of that might be a negative is if racial tensions are a big issue in public schools. But I have no idea if this is the case in the US. I…

Ohio lawmakers want to limit the teaching of the scientific process

This is why gun control will fail
http://youtu.be/xI6eE_FAwao This is filled with inaccuracies and mistruths. It's one thing to make an informed argument but this is ridiculous.
