WH pushes back on charge that it didn't consult with Congress

This article indicates that there was no official ruling that stated Libya was a, “no fly zone.” It says that it was never debated by congress to be passed into an official ruling in the U.N.

In wake of Wisconsin law, can labor keep its political clout?

    

     To the law passed in Wisconsin by governor Scott Walker, the American people ask, “how will this new law effect/affect my job?” To the private sector this means, hiring high quality government workers will be more difficult. The costs simply outweigh the benefits of working for the government. This is because the new limits put on collective bargaining will deter an employee from joining a union. The decline in union members is shrinking, and has been for over 61 years. It would seem that union member are fighting for a lost cause.

'Race to Nowhere' targets academic pressures

   In this video, students feel overwhelmed by the excessive homework and tests. Parents feel that school work, extra curricular activates, AP courses are getting in the way of family time. A student feels that everyday feels like a daily routine, having to deal with AP courses and cross country. However, some students feel like they aren't being challenged enough, and need to take AP in order to feel like they're learning. In this particular case, students take these classes to make their learning experience more interesting, and brain stimulating. Some teachers have assigned a no-homework policy, and are actually giving the students the breathing room they need. Parents still feel that, "We still have to back off."
