STILL SEPARATE STILL UNEQUAL The newest CPS leadership frames the district’s current inequities as an inevitable result of demographic trends. Their fraudulent attempts to absolve corporate reform of any culpability in our separate and unequal school system are an extension of the resistance that enforcement of desegregation faced in the decades after Brown v Board. The constitutional principles of Brown were narrowly intended to eliminate de jure segregation‚ segregation that was approved and

As Christians we are called to live lives solely for Jesus and seek to be like him in all that we do. I can honestly say that the book Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper bewilders my mind both with keen curiosity and surprise.

Ralph Waldo Emerson writes‚ “Don’t say things. What you are stands over you the while‚ and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say… (Emerson‚ 1909).” I head this quote the first day of school my junior year of high school. My English teacher‚ Miss Wilson‚ shared Emerson’s quote to emphasize that what you do has a larger impact on the world than what you say. I was taught this lesson only a few short months later while standing in the rain‚ on a muddy football field. I was the starting defensive
