Truth, Justice, and the American Way

Remember the good old days? Over 50 years ago, Superman became a comic book hero who could leap tall buildings in a single bound.  “Look, up in the sky!  It’s a bird.  It’s a plane.  No, it’s superman!”  His fictional character was always fighting corruption and then rescuing someone from an evil plot.

How I Discovered Sexually Explicit Material in School Libraries and Those Who Fund It

I became aware of obscene books in our libraries in December of 2021.

I-SS School Board’s Chairman Howell Has to Go

A perfect example of despotic political behavior and suppression of basic civil liberties has been on display during the I-SS school board's last three meetings.
