Saw your fluff piece on Charter Schools in Cleveland. A recent shows that charter schools significantly under-enroll students with special needs. Public schools are mandated to accept all students. They don't get to "cherry pick" their students. Problem children are dismissed from charter schools, low achieving children are encouraged to transfer. Charter schools are only enhancing a caste system in America. Do the whole story or sit on your hands.

Just saw your short piece on the nuns and the hierarchy. You seriously and grievously misstated the hierarchy's position. The Bishops praised the sisters for being out front on issues of poverty and discrimination; oppressed peoples and other life issues. They took them to task for not being consistent ... for supporting killing of the most defenseless, children in wombs; to support changing marriage from a social contract that protected the rights women and well defined the obligations of men to a temporary agreement of mutual satisfaction of sexual desires, et cetera.
I found it interesting that you did not mention that the average age of the orders belonging to the groups you mentioned is well north of 60 (is it 60?!) whole orders who follow the full Gospel (not just the easy parts!) are increasing in number and decreasing in average age. "Go and sin no more!" :)

Balance lad, balance ... if you don't work for it acknowledge that your are a propagandist, not a journalist!

+Peace,

Fred
