• School Tax Relief for Senior 70 and Over
    Additional tax relief for seniors over 70 with less than $50,000 net income, never had a child attend the local school district. For those that qualify, school tax would be completely abated forever.

  • Censure Professor James Tracy
    He may not be reflecting the ideas of the university and may actually be trying to get an interesting dialog started with his students, but he crossed the line in asking to see the bodies of these children bloodied and destroyed by multiple gun shot wounds. Florida Atlantic needs to censure this pathetic excuse for a teacher.

  • Reclaim the Future From Trade School Fraud
    The trade schools and the deregulated loan industry have caused several generations of Americans to be enslaved to repaying loans for an education that was skeletal and rudimentary at best, harmful at worst. These credits, which we were told were transferable to "any university" are not transferable at all. "Regional accrediting agency"? I personally live in Washington, yet my "credits" from Portland Oregon won't transfer to a school in Oregon, let alone Washington. I, personally, have been financially destroyed by Career Education Corp. and Stillwater bank. My student loan repayments outstrip my rent and bills. This is slavery.

  • Create a Pulitzer Category for Data Visualizations
    Nate Silver said it best: the people creating these visualizations "are journalists in addition to being programmers and/or graphic artists: the goal is to communicate complex information clearly and accurately, and not just to make something cool or pretty. There should be a Pulitzer category for this stuff."

  • Pardon Studen Loan Debt - Schools that closed and lost accreditation
    I attended a private university (AUI Los Angeles) and was not aware of the numerous accreditation issues and financial aid fraud claims against the university when I enrolled. The university lost accreditation and closed due to the multiple lawsuits filed against it and hundreds of students were not able to graduate, but still have hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. The university will not return the money to the lenders, and many former students have defaulted on their loans. I'd like to start a petition to help not only the people affected by particular university, but the thousands of others facing this same problem. Profit universities should be held accountable for their wrong doings, and student loan banks should accept responsibility as well. If schools are not accredited, on probation to lose accreditation, close due to losing accreditation or sued for financial aid fraud - banks shouldn't provide funds.

  • "Please Allow Prayer Back in Public Schools!"
    My children should not feel as if they will get in trouble if they pray at school. The majority of the school populations are of Christian background; however, students should be allowed to exercise their right to pray if they choose to. With the recent Sandy Hook tragedy, our students and educators need spiritual protection as well as police protection.
