Flex Your Rights Video Shown in High School Leads to Suspensions for Teachers Originally posted on 02 June 2010 by Adam Mueller    A Flex Your Rights video, Busted , along with some other materials handed out to students lead to the suspension of two teachers .  I can’t believe this has happened. If you’ve ever seen Busted you know of its educational value.  How can teachers, even teachers of state run schools, be suspended for showing and distributing material that highlights the constitution along with the bill of rights? I think the one parent quoted in the story should of watched the video and read the material.  Maybe then she would have realized how her child misunderstood its content.  Flex Your Rights doesn’t show people how to hide your drugs, but rather how to stand up for your rights.  This parent missed a great opportunity to have a one on one with her daughter not only about drugs but also several other things like; what to do wh

Interpol: Joran van der Sloot arrested in Santiago Joran van der Sloot is being investigated in connection with a woman's death in Peru. Van der Sloot, 23, was traveling alone in a taxi near the Chilean central coastal city of Vina del Mar when he was detained, said Douglas Rodriguez, spokesman for the Chilean Investigative Police. Van der Sloot was transported Thursday afternoon to police headquarters in Santiago, Chile. TV images showed him emerging from a black police SUV at the police station. His hair, which had been black in previous images, was red and worn in a close-cropped crew cut. A wake was held Thursday in Lima, Peru, for Flores, who was scheduled to be buried later in the day. There is "incriminating evidence" linking van der Sloot to Flores' killing, said Peruvian criminal investigator Cesar Guardia Vasquez. Flores' bludgeoned body was found in Room 309 of the Hotel Tac in the Miraflores section of Lima

Lauren Booth: Why we sailed to Gaza...

By Lauren Booth, The Guardian – 2 June 2010 www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jun/02/palestinian-territories-gaza I was a passenger on the first effort to break the Gaza blockade. Our mission was to show that normal people cared. Since the military attack on a fleet of civilian ships in international waters, Israel ’s well oiled spin machine has imposed a total news blackout about the survivors, taking their phones and denying them access to consular representation. The void has instead been filled with disinformation about the passengers on board the Mavi Marmara ferry. For those of us with colleagues and loved ones of whom we still have no clear news, such lies only exacerbate our anxiety and fury. So, before I have to read another weasel word from politicians about inquiries into the motives of the flotilla, let me shed some light on the kind of people either hospitalized or being illegally held in prisons in the south of the country.
