 The stifling effect of racism and sexism allegations has led some to extremes. Richard Peltz, an award-winning law professor at the University of Arkansas, felt trapped by accusations of racism. Peltz had alienated some of his black students in the following fashion: 1) he participated in a panel discussion on affirmative action and argued against it, 2) he displayed in class a satirical article from The Onion that mentioned, among other things, Rosa Parks’s death 3) he illustrated the unfairness of affirmative action policies by offering to give all minority students an extra point on a test just for signing a form. It would appear that learning has been reduced to indoctrinating students into a pre-set ideologies. Any deviation from the PRACTICED NORM is met with opposition. I thought learning was best nurtured in an environment that did not stifle alternative viewpoints but actually encouraged such. Apparently only alternative thoughts are welcomed sound reaso

 When I first came to Pittsburgh many years ago on a business trip I immediately did not like the area. My initial thought was WOW this city is dirty. It looked dirty. From the rusty bridges to the dirty streets and the dilapidated housing the whole area surrounding the city just looked dirty. Well now many years later we get this report that well says PITTSBURGH is dirty. I have lived in Western Pennsylvania for almost 10 years now. Perhaps this report explains my increased allegy problems since moving out here. I guess it is time to move again. In regards to the report one news person said that Pittsburgh has not gotten dirtier LA just got cleaner. Isn't that nice? Why doesn't Pittsburgh get cleaner? Why not work on it a bit? Concerning the coke plant in the valley. OKAY why build a plant that pollutes in a valley where the air gets trapped? Years ago Pittsburgh was the steel capital of the world and yes it was dirtier then. But there is more Pittsburgh can do to improve.
