Hypocrisy Abounds
The Arlington Independent School District in Texas barred students from hearing President Obama speak about responsibility because it did not want to interrupt its regularly scheduled lesson plans; however, the district decided to bus its students off-campus to hear Former President Bush talk about the Super Bowl.
A school district in John Boehner's congressional district refused to allow students to view President Obama's speech, but bussed those same students to VOA Park for a "teabagger protest."
Maybe the school administrators and parents fail to recognize hypocrisy when they see it, but I am confident many of those students are intelligent enough to recognize an elephant when they see it.

You Can't Go There!
Most of us believe that Americans have the freedom to travel wherever they choose; and, in fact we do--almost. We have the freedom to travel to any country in the world except for one. Now that you considered it, you probably have come to the correct conclusion that the one country you cannot travel to is one of our nearest neighbors--Cuba. The US has had a 50 year ban on Cuban travel. You can travel to North Korea or Iran (remember the "Axis of Evil"?), but you cannot travel to Cuba.
159 Congressmen and 29 Senators have sponsored the Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act--a bipartisan effort to open travel to Cuba for all US citizens. The Cuban American Alliance, The Cuban American Commission for Family Rights, and Human Rights Watch have endorsed this concept.
Orbitz.com has recently launched OpenCuba.org, a website that gives citizens a method to petition their leaders to end this 50-year ban on travel to Cuba.
If you wish to support the Travel to Cuba Act, you can sign the petition at OpenCuba.org.

A Toledo Treasure
For years, on summer Sunday evenings, Toledoans have been gathering at the Toledo Zoo Ampitheater to listen to Sam Szor conduct the Toledo Concert Band in a series of free concerts. The concert series, known as "Music Under The Stars," draws large crowds, frequently whole families, who fill the bowl-shaped arena as they listen to the musicians on the stage of the stately band shell.
Toledoans are fortunate to have these concerts sponsored by The Toledo Symphony Orchestra along with a handful of businesses and the United Auto Workers.
The most recent performance was entitled "Clearly:U.S.A." and consisted of two hours of rousingly patriotic pieces ranging from Sousa to Andrew Lloyd Webber with commentary by Gordan Ward.
Next Sunday, July 26, will feature a program entitled "Dominant Force: Disney."
