Liberals erred by trying to usurp parents
Declaring war on parents may have been one of the biggest mistakes liberals ever made. As a Japanese admiral said after the ill-advised attack on Pearl Harbor, they awakened a sleeping giant. Millions of Americans already were fed up with the poor education of their children in government schools. They began to worry even more…

Schools drop contract with controversial sex-oriented organization
Duval County schools have terminated a contract with JASMYN, a local organization that supports the homosexual lifestyle. “The district simply cannot partner with the organization given their use of program materials that the district believes to be inappropriate for use with children,” a spokesman for the schools said.

In Duval County, more than 330,000 votes were recorded by 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Election Day. All have been counted except those military-overseas ballots that are still coming in until Nov. 18. Supervisor of Elections Mike Hogan, a Republican, reported no serious problems. Nevertheless, nearly as many votes as Duval had in total still hadn’t been…

Dividing people isn’t unity
About 40 years ago, while working for a local newspaper, I wrote a column questioning why the local supervisor of elections used skin color as one of the demographics of the electorate.

New information blockage arouses suspicions
Another one of those little City Hall mysteries that have occurred periodically during the reign of Lenny Curry cropped up recently.

Redistricting done but with an arduous effort
One fact that emerged from the hearings on City Council redistricting effort this week is that it is not possible to please everyone – and not possible to please some people at all. People – public and politicians alike — cannot seem to understand that the process is like having 14 balloons in a closed…

Shouting is not an argument
Democrats are intensifying their efforts to gain more seats on the City Council, via redistricting. As the City Council’s Special Committee on Redistricting began its work this week on “remedy maps” in response to a federal court ruling that still is on appeal, liberals put on a display of bad manners intended to intimidate the…
