LANCASTER - A Columbia High School may be in the future of the Antelope Valley Union High School District.

However, which school should bear the honor to memorialize the seven astronauts who perished above the skies of Texas remains to be seen.

The Antelope Valley Teachers Association called for the new William J. "Pete" Knight High School to be renamed Columbia High in honor of the shuttle craft whose 20-year-plus history was so dependent on Edwards Air Force Base Plant 42 in Palmdale and the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center.

Typical that the pinkos in the Teacher's Union would sieze upon this tragedy as an opportunity to attack our Republican State Senator. (A former X-15 pilot and a genuine American hero.

They're awful. Can't stand the NEA or the teacher's union.
