UL Lafayette’s rigorous degree program for teachers, hailed recently by federal Education Secretary Arne Duncan as “real change, based upon the real outcomes of children,” is getting some national media attention.
Last week, reporters from both The Washington Post and National Public Radio met with university President Joe Savoie and administrators of the College of Education for a closer look at UL’s teacher-training program, and at Louisiana’s school-accountability program. Larry Abramson’s report for National Public Radio is expected soon. To read Nick Anderson’s report in the Post, click here.

hmmm...That doesn't read well. Since, most if not all teacher's are of the liberal mind. The Washington Times is a major liberal rag and NPR being a government liberal mouth piece . I recon this mean's there will more children being brainwashed into the liberal mindset and taught how access government programs for their survival ..In my opinion, having these socialist(communistic) organization's recognizing UL efforts is nothing to be bragging about... Not good

Plumpy: All incoming freshmen will be required to do "community service". We will pay tuition and our kids will be sent out to sling hash at The Diner and service the homeless!! I would rather they all go to Catholic Church on Sunday morning, but we would not be able to "require" that would we?

Plumpy, could you please explain why, if NPR is a mouthpiece for the government, it didn't turn right-wing during the 8 years during which George Bush was president? Surely his administration could have required that, couldn't it?
And, if it's true that "most if not all" teachers are of a liberal mind -- that suggests that to our most well-educated, well-intentioned people, the liberal point of view is the one that makes the most sense. You ought to think about that.

There will soon be a whole lot of shakin’ going on at Benny’s Sportshack Supplement Depot, a new concept by Opelousas native Benny Nele. Located at 2002 Johnston St., the supplement shop, smoothie bar and café, featuring hot off the press paninis and wraps, plans to open in late May.
Philip deMahy Sr., a once respected New Iberia ad exec, was sentenced May 2 to spend the next two years (he faced up to 100 years) in a state penitentiary after state and federal investigators found dozens of images depicting children engaged in lewd sexual acts on his personal computer.
This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
