Woman of the Year

While there might, admittedly, be some crossover between Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail readerships, I thought most of you would have missed this. It is a story about the "Daily Mail Inspirational Women of the Year" award, won this year by Dr Carrie Herbert. Dr Herbert (who happens to my father's first cousin) started the Red Balloon schools for children affected by bullying.

Pupils would learn basic home skills (mak

Bible Bill goes to Tennessee Gov.

posted on Fri, 16 May 2008 07:05:43 -0700

Yeah, that’s right. A bill involving the dreaded Holy Bible (cue scary music, anti Jesus folk) being offered as an elective in high schools has passed the Tennessee House and Senate legislative studies (unanimously) is on to Gov. Phil Bredesen’s desk. If Gov. Bredesen signs the legislation, public schools will soon be required to offer bible as an elective course taught with an approved textbook. The Tennessee Department of Education would create a uniform bible curriculum. This legislation
