But Mad Town board member Bill Keys, who backed the initial censorship policy, remained unrepentant; he was the only member to vote against the new policy. "You saw it done in this hall tonight, with litmus tests and artificial displays of patriotism," Keys claimed. It is arrogant dorks like this that have torpedoed the public schhol system. This friggin idiot mocks the people he serves. There is good news in this example of beuarocrat run amok though, that is American citizens AT LAST taking back control of the education system. I can only hope they see what has been revealed here and cut out all the rot.

Madison City Council won't reconsider wording of resolution praising NYC workers Associated Press gazetteextra.com <What a messed up in the head place this has to be.... -josh> MADISON, Wis. -- The word "prayers" won't appear in a city resolution that praises emergency workers who responded to last month's terrorist attacks on the East Coast. The City Council voted 10-9 Tuesday night to reconsider its earlier decision to offer "sympathies" instead of "prayers" for the victims and their families, but the motion was defeated because it required 11 votes for majority approval, said Ryan Mulcahy, an assistant to the mayor. One member of the 20-member council was absent for the vote. The council's decision three weeks ago to use the word "sympathies" drew criticism in media editorials, letters, e-mails and telephone calls. The resolution reads the city's "thoughts and sympathies go out to the victims and their families." Alderwoman Cindy Thomas, who initially voted for the word switch, said she now supports using the word "prayers" and proposed reconsidering the resolution. "People have a chance to do the right thing," she said before the meeting. "It was a bad decision." The resolution also condemns the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The vote came on the same day that the Madison school board reversed an earlier decision to bar students from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in school because of parents' concerns about the words "one nation, under God." That decision drew widespread criticism, and the board decided early Tuesday to allow individual schools to decide between the pledge and the national anthem in complying with a new student patriotism law. The law requires schools to give students the opportunity each day to say the pledge or hear the national anthem. * * *
