Polling conducted earlier this year shows a majority of Americans support education freedom, open enrollment, true parent accountability measures, and direct funding models that give families greater control and flexibility to provide the best education possible for their children.
Lawmakers in Mississippi are not the only ones considering ways to expand education freedom and provide more parental flexibility. There is a growing national trend away from the traditional zip-code based school model.

Below is a political opinion column by Kimberly Ross:
Whether you’re a regular citizen going about your daily life or the leader of the free world, we all have a duty to turn down the temperature of hatred and division.
There are simply no words sufficient enough to describe the evil that is murder. When a human being takes the life of another human being, something is clearly and deeply broken. And when a family member kills one or more of their own, the horror is compounded to an unimaginable degree.

Below is a religion column by Matt Friedeman:
Jesus has arrived to change the world…but it’s going to get rough out there; that’s part of the deal. Go tell everybody, anyway.
All kinds of things you can do with the Christmas story. What we shouldn’t do – be satisfied in it.
After Jesus was born, Joseph took the young family to the Temple for apparently two major reasons talked about in the Law – for Mary’s post-birth purification and to present Mary’s firstborn to the Lord.

Politicians use statistics and polls to emphasize the parts of the truth that they want us to believe. But, statistics should not be used as simple talking points. “Gun deaths: are not the same as “gun violence.” Seven people died in Mississippi two weeks ago. Several more were hit by gunfire. Even more were missed. If we ignore those who were nearly hit, we have ignored the reality of danger. Tell us how many shell cases were picked up by police? That's the measure of potential death. Potential is measured by how many bullets missed.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is in charge of flood control on the lower Mississippi River (1928 Flood Control Act). Congress gave it that job to prevent another disastrous 1927 flood. The Corps has spent billions on its Mississippi Rivers and Tributaries Project (MRTP). It is supposed to keep the largest future flood (Project Flood) inside the levees and pass it safely to the Gulf. But the Corps’ 2019 flow line study predicts levees will overtop again — in a lesser flood.
