My Rights As A Student

Many a times we as students forget that we have rights too, why is that? Is it because we're so used to obeying many authority figures a day? Is it because we ourselves feel too young to be absolutely sure of all of our rights? Either way, after reading up on two supreme court cases; Tinker v. Des Moines and Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, one thing is for sure-no one actually knows!

Tinker v. Des Moines outcome says, we have the right to express ourselves freely anyway we'd like. Verbally. Visually. Spiritually.

Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier outcome says, the administration has the right to censor any school sponsored expression.

So, who does one believe? What does one follow? Well, I say The Constitution. Stand by and protect your rights LEGALLY. =)

CLEAN! CLEAN! CLEAN!: Red Lentil Improves Inspection Rating

Normally when a restaurant fails an inspection, they automatically turn to worrying and sulking. But, Pankaj Pradhan- owner of the Red Lentil-broke the mold, instead of putting a ton of pressure on himself and his employees, he worked with them, set them down, gave them an uplifting pep-talk and together they fixed every problem they had. No more unlabeled containers, no more dirty walls or stuffed vents, and definitely no more defective machinery. Now whenever a customer comes into The Red Lentil, they don't have to worry about being in an ''unsanitary'' place! Mr. Pradhan showed the perseverance many of us lack in life, when you fall down, just get up ; )

The Legends......The Shamed

Do these faces look familiar? If so, It's probably because they're legends. Yep legends, in the purest sense of the word. They are innovators, record holders, role models. 4 of the greatest to ever do it.

Now look at these faces. You probably recognize them too. They're the shamed. Trackletes who were caught taking performance enhancing drugs. Although not the sole, they are part of the reason track itself has taken a downward spiral in the world's eyes. History.
