    Barak Obama apparently doesn't have a birth certificate according to Donald Trump. It is supposed to be in a vault in Hawaii where Barak was supposed to be born but now we really are not sure. At first i was thinking this is just probably because of the fact that he is going to be running against Obama in the next election but now i'm not so sure. There is a good possibility that he is actually not a member of the United States. Let alone not even legally. If Barak has any sort of birth certificate it shouldn't be that hard to find it considering he is the president of the United States. For some reason they have yet to find it. Either it was never created or somebody along the years had lost it.

    Well then I will make sure to not vote for Obama next election.

    Before he was eligible to become president, things like this should of been figured out.

    Donald Trump just needs something to try and get voters on his side since he has never done anything political before. It would be terrible if he became president of our country in the next election.

    I think that Barak was probably born in the United States and his birth certificate is just MIA as of right now, even thought a birth certificate should not be hard to find. Considering you need it for many things, he should have it in his possession. Donald Trump should be president.

    If the man had a Birth certificate they would have found it by now he is the president of the united states i believe trump is telling the truth and someone should've looked into this better when obama was running for president.

    If Donald Trump was president i'm sure it couldn't get any worse then what Barak is doing now:)

    I believe that Obama was born in the US. If he wasn't then i doubt that he would of became president in the first place because someone would have asked for proof of where he was born.

    How could you run for president without proof of being born here? Come on, what is the U.S comming to?

    The photo shown subliminally describes how much the United States has changed in the past few decades. African-American males went from being the people to avoid, the people who commit crimes, the people who make our country look bad, to one of them "terrible" African-Americans being the alpha male of our country. We have broken the racial threshold after electing a black president. The image shows that women can also be extremely powerful, too. When John F. Kennedy was president, for example, it would be otherworldly to have a woman with as much power as Hilary Clinton. I believe this country has taken a step forward in accepting people for who they are, and not the color of their skin.

President Obama Barack Born

    Skeptics and conspiracy theorists have been attacking president Obama with their doubts that he was born in America. Statistics show that 25% of citizens have doubt of his birth on U.S. soil. But, evidence has shown that he is a U.S. citizen. And was born in Hawaii. Proof such as the document of his birth in the newspaper, the birth certificate, and memories of the current governer of Hawaii as Barack was a baby.

    This is good, this will make all the skeptics finally shut up about our president being an American.
  • Angela S on 26 Apr 11
     
    The government can make the people of the United States believe whatever they want us to believe. Just because some piece of paper was copied onto a newspaper doesn't necessarily make something true. I believe that until there is an actual visual of his birth certificate then no so many people are going to believe that he really is a us citizen.

    Foreign ministers of Persian Gulf nations will meet in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday in the latest attempt to ease tensions between the government and the opposition in Yemen. The meeting will focus on completing discussions that took place Sunday in Saudi Arabia with the opposition Joint Meeting Parties. The opposition wants Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down. Saleh says he will transfer power in 2013. Many have been arrested and injured in clashes with Yemeni security forces.

Father: Why I didn't let my son take standardized tests - The Answer Sheet - The Washin... - 0 views

  • My wife and I had Luke “opt out” of No Child Left Behind standardized testing (here in Pennsylvania known as the Pennsylvania System of School Achievement, or PSSAs).
  • Last week I did just that. I looked at the test and determined that it violated my religion. How, you might ask? That’s an entirely different blog, but I can quickly say that my religion does not allow for or tolerate the act of torture and I determined that making Luke sit for over 10 hours filling in bubble sheets would have been a form of mental and physical torture, given that we could give him no good reason as to why he needs to take this test.
  • ch a reason for opting out of the PSSA testing will negatively affect the school’s participation rate and could POTENTIALLY have a negative impact on the school’s Adequate Yearly Progress under the rules of No Child Left Behind.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The point was to give Luke some experience in how to conduct planned civil disobedience in a lawful manner.
  • This time, instead of having Luke sit through another meeting, he researched the Japanese earthquake and tsunami as a current events project.
  • I asked Luke what he thought about it all. He just smiled. I also asked him what some of his friends were saying. According to Luke, they did not believe that NCLB and PSSAs were going to be used to evaluate the school. They didn’t know about AYP and the sanctions that came with it. Luke’s friends just thought the tests, “were used to make sure our teachers are teaching us the right stuff.” My guess is that is what most parents believe. Why wouldn’t they believe it? They’ve been told for nine years that we are raising standards, holding teachers accountable, and leaving no children behind. Who wouldn’t support that?
  • That, of course, is the real problem. NCLB and the standards movement is a political bait and switch. Sold as one thing (positive) to the public and then in practice, something radically different (punitive). This is probably one of the biggest reasons I decided to do the boycott—to make my community aware and to try and enlighten them of the real issues.
  • My answer is that the government is not listening. Teachers, principals, teacher educators, child development specialists, and educational researchers have been trying to get this message out for years. No one will listen.
  • Civil disobedience is the only option left. It’s my scream in a dark cave for light. I want teachers to teach again. I want principals to lead again. I want my school to be a place of deep learning and a deeper love of teaching. I want children exposed to history, science, art, music, physical education, and current events—the same experience President Obama is providing his own children.
  • Maybe civil disobedience will be contagious. Maybe parents will join us in reclaiming our schools and demand that teachers and administrators hands be untied and allow them to do their jobs—engage students in a rich curriculum designed to promote deep learning and critical thinking.
  • Suzie Nestico on 27 Mar 11
     
    Another PA parent opts his child out of PSSA standardized testing as a measure of civil disobedience.  Word of caution:  This can very much hurt a school's Adequate Yearly Progress and ultimately the school may suffer.  But, what if this movement spread amongst parents?  What then?  Would the government take over the school?  Change is hard.

    These people are going to have a long line of recovery ahead of them. I'm sure a lot of help is going to be there for them, but nothing can replace friends and family that were lost.
