A new survey finds almost universal agreement on one important topic: Besides reading, writing and arithmetic, schools should be teaching kids about money. Some 87% of respondents in a new survey from RBC Wealth Management-U.S. and City National Bank said schools ought to be teaching students about money management. "Of these respondents, 15% believe that it should be included [in class curriculum] as early as elementary school and the rest believe it should be more of a middle school and high school topic," said Brooke McGeehan, U.S. vice...
The TV ads pitch a new kind of school where the power of the Internet allows gifted and struggling students alike to "work at the level that's just right for them" and thrive with one-on-one attention from teachers connecting through cyberspace. Thousands of California families, supported with hundreds of millions in state education dollars, have bought in. But the Silicon Valley-influenced endeavor behind the lofty claims is leading a dubious revolution. The growing network of online academies, operated by a Virginia company traded on Wall...
American school teachers can use election years to teach their students valuable lessons about citizenship, democracy, and responsibility. This year, however, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) one of the candidates is teaching students about something else: bullying. Donald Trump has been criticized by voters, commentators, and fellow politicians for his language and the violence that sometimes arises at his campaign events. This new report, however, says his campaign is reaching into the schools. http://ww...

The lifelong conservative backed Marco Rubio in Minnesota’s caucuses last month and is running to be a delegate committed to the Florida senator at the Republican National Convention in July.

Ted Cruz lock up the party nom...
A Twin Cities motorcyclist zipping along at 83 miles per hour in western Wisconsin caught the attention of a state trooper parked in the median of Interstate 94. On went the squad’s flashing lights and sirens, and that’s when the rider opened up the throttle on his 2006 Yamaha RS racer to 132 mph, the Minnesota border growing ever larger just ahead. http://www.startribune.com/eden-prairie-motorcyclist-reaches-132-mph-on-i-94-crashes-with-trooper-in-pursuit/376107041/...
Honing his argument and showing no diminishment of resolve, Neel Kashkari on Monday insisted that the largest banks in the United States are still too big to fail and that taxpayers will likely be on the hook for another bailout the next time one of them gets in trouble. Speaking to the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis batted away criticism and returned to his central assertion — that faced with another financial crisis, government officials will not be able to force the bondholders of l...

In February 2013, Michelle Roberts, along with around 300 other Nooksack Indians, received a letter informing her that she was being ejected from her own tribe. The missive came from the tribal council of the Nooksack, a 2,000-person federally recognized tribe whose homeland is tucked into Washington state’s lush northwestern corner. Roberts and her kin, wrote the council, couldn’t adequately prove their ancestry, and thus “did not meet the requirements for membership contained in the Nooksack Tribe’s constitution.” They were being disenroll...

The community on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is the headquarters for the Oglala Sioux tribe and dates to the late 1800s, but the only signs in the town have been stop signs. Village Vice President Derek Janis recently discovered during a trip to the local land office that, despite the lack of road signs, the roads all have names. A tribal map specialist, Troy Ferguson, has been working for years to catalog them. ht...
The federal government must pick up the tab for more than $20-million in compensation to survivors of Indian residential schools after its lawyer allowed the Catholic Church to renege on its obligations, according to the former national chief whose advocacy resulted in the largest class-action settlement in Canadian history.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether federal felony charges can be filed against defendants who were previously convicted of multiple domestic violence counts in tribal courts that didn't provide attorneys.
