ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – KMOX News has learned Ferguson protestors are seeking St. Louis Rams tickets in the hopes of getting into the Edward Jones Dome and disrupting this Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.

I just heard that my son's friend maybe going to Crawford with his parents as part of a larger protest with Cindy Sheehan. Has anyone else heard about this? The parents are leftist hollywood types who are active on the local level but I think this must be a huge event if they are going to go and take the entire family... Heads Up?

Songs, like poetry, are an important component of my teaching. The lyrical metaphors, rhythms, and stories in many songs motivate and educate students. It's amazing what my fifth graders will remember from a song, as compared to what they forget from my talking. I introduce a new "song of the week" each Monday and the students receive a copy of the lyrics to keep in their three-ring binder that collects much of my alternative curriculum.
