During band camp this past August, I had a couple kids arguing with me because they did not want to do as many push-ups as I asked them to do for being late. The students suggested a smaller number of push-ups that they could do…

The Safety of College Campuses today Campus safety was not always a major priority for many universities a decade ago. This unfortunately came at a price for one school back in 2007. On April 16th, a Virginia tech Senior managed to kill a total of 32 people and wounding 17 others on campus.

“Plains Indian”, which I come to think of as a member of the Lakota, Nakota, or Dakota. Images could be shown in class to show students the “stereotype” versus an actual Native resident of South Dakota. The scenes with Russell Means, a native of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and John Trudell, a native of the Santee Dakota, show an interesting perspective into how the extreme poverty and corrupt politics still factor into daily South Dakota Native American life today (Diamond, "Reel Injun").…
