Multiracial students are being tallied for the first time in Texas history, but their standardized test scores won't appear as a separate group when accountability ratings are released Friday. As it grapples with increasing diversity, Texas has opted not to measure the scores of the state's 78,419 multiracial, non-Hispanic students as an ethnic subgroup whose performance matters in determining whether a school made "adequate yearly progress." Instead, they'll join the ranks of the 180,000 Asian students lumped in with their schools' entire student body for accountability purposes. Texas continues to only hold three racial subgroups accountable: whites, blacks and Hispanics....

So many black women are single, she says, because they are stuck in the groove of a one-track song: sitting alone, waiting for that one "good" black man to come along and sweep them off their feet. Waiting. Talking to girlfriends. Waiting. Going out alone. Waiting. Going to work. Waiting. Waiting for a "good" black man, with the same education level to marry them. Waiting. Even when they know the odds are stacked against them. Single black women with college degrees outnumber single black men with college degrees almost 3 to 1 in major urban areas such as Washington, according...

A black Muslim refugee from the Sudan, Musa's refusal to be drafted into the Sudanese army to fight the Arab janjaweed militiamen led to the burning of his village and the murder or disappearance of his 16-member family. Yet those who carried out the retribution killings were not government forces, but Arab militiamen themselves, armed by the Sudanese government, the very men whom the Sudanese military was trying to defeat.

Making a "criminal" out of Saint Israel When it comes to Victim Israel, the media "justice" turns 360 degrees A fascism that selects Israel for unfair harsh terms & gross language. When it comes to victim Israel, all hell break lose.

Israeli Arabs have equality under law http://neighbors.newstimeslive.com/opinion/letters.php?id=1031073 Letters to the Editor Feb 10 2007 In response to William Keil (letter, Jan. 14): My issue with former President Carter's book was that incorrect facts are used in the book and the charge of racism made against Israel is wrong. An employee of former President Carter quit his employ in protest against the factual errors in the book. Conclusions based on errors cannot be relied upon. Consider the following facts and decide who is practicing racism: Israel has approximately one million Arab citizens who enjoy full equality under the law. The legal...

Political correctness is turning lethal. Stockport Council is now using resource packs provided by the Muslim Council of Britain to teach schoolchildren about Islam, an initiative which is to be extended across the nation. According to the Stockport Express, councillors think this will promote 'multi-racial [sic] harmony'. Councillor John Pantall, executive member for 'diversity strategy', said: 'If we can get to pupils at an early age we hope they can grow up understanding other cultures and religions and without prejudice.
