School District 203, the top school district in the State of Illinois and one
of the top school districts in the United States, sent a letter to Naperville’s
City Council voicing strong opposition to the idea of retail stores being
allowed to sell recreational marijuana in Naperville. The Board’s primary
concern being the certainty that more high school age kids (and younger!) will
be using marijuana if these stores are allowed to open.

Paul Bedard (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have been the most

would focus on those who falsely claim to be religious, conservative, and/or
Republican.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/poll-public-backs-criticism-of-journalists-trumps-attacks-appropriate
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In
the latest sign that major American media outlets are losing the public’s
support, a majority believe it is appropriate for politicians to criticize
reporters and hold them to the same scrutiny as those they cover. A new
Rasmussen Reports survey also said most voters believe the average journalist
is liberal, and few are conservative. The survey is an indictment of the media
at a time when liberal outlets such as CNN and the New York Times are stepping
up their attack on President Trump and congressional Republicans. The outlets
are also complaining about Trump’s criticism of them and called out Trump
surrogates who are using social media to point out the bias of journalists.
But, said Rasmussen, voters believe that reporters are fair game for criticism.
The survey analysis said 61% of likely U.S. voters think reporters at major
news organizations like CNN, Fox News, and the New York Times are public
figures who deserve scrutiny. Some 19% disagree. Significantly, 51% said “it is
appropriate for elected officials to criticize specific reporters and news
organizations,” Rasmussen reported in the survey shared with Secrets before its
release. Another 39% view the criticism as a threat to freedom of the press.
That is slightly higher than the 48% who said criticism from politicians was OK
back in February 2017 when Trump began singling out news organizations that
were attacking him. And the public continues to view journalists as liberal.
The survey said 47% believe the typical reporter is more liberal than they are.
Just 19% of voters believe reporters are more conservative than they are.)
