What is school for? A new poll released Monday night shows that Americans are divided on the issue. And in an era when public education has been under attack, most public school parents still think highly of their children’s schools — and an overwhelming majority of Americans do not want failing schools to be closed down but would rather see them improved. The 48th annual PDK Poll of the Public’s Attitudes Toward the Public Schools, the longest continuously running survey of American attitudes toward public education, was commissioned by...

A week after Donald Trump said he believed police in Chicago could stop the increasing levels of violence in the city by being “much tougher” — and implied there was a way to accomplish this feat in a week — the city’s top cop responded by urging him to offer any “magic bullet” he may have. Trump has repeatedly invoked Chicago’s bloodshed on the campaign trail, part of an overall effort he has made to frame himself as the law-and-order candidate in his race against Hillary Clinton. During public appearances and on social media,...
On the first day of school Monday, North High School was packed with about 400 students — compared to just 52 five years ago. The new superintendent would make his first visit soon. Excitement was high. Still, the school was quiet. No ruckus anywhere. “Some people, when they come to North, that have low expectations, are surprised when they come in and see that it’s orderly,” said Principal Shawn Harris-Berry. http://www.startribune.com/north-high-sees-enrollment-jump-as-new-year-begins/391684331/...
NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin is done playing the good wife to Anthony Weiner, announcing Monday she is leaving the serially sexting ex-congressman after he was accused of sending raunchy photos and messages to yet another woman. Abedin, who as vice chair of Clinton's campaign is destined for big things if the Democrat is elected president, stayed with Weiner after a sexting scandal led him to resign from Congress in 2011 and after a new outbreak of online misbehavior wrecked his bid for New York mayor in 2013. She didn't leave...
As charges were brought against the driver of a Michigan firetruck that crashed Saturday on Interstate 35W in Blaine, killing two firefighters, people in the men’s hometown grieved the loss. The driver, Micheal Allen Johnson, 28, of Baraga, Mich., said he was sleep-deprived and that he nodded off before the rig went out of control. He also admitted using marijuana and cocaine in the days and hours before the wreck, according to charges filed Monday. He was charged with two counts of criminal vehicular homicide in Anoka County District Court...
Costa Kiggundu came to mind when I read the Star Tribune’s Aug. 28 editorial (“Shut down the Clinton Foundation”). She is a woman I interviewed in 2008 in a gritty slum of Kampala, Uganda. As I always do when people in other countries grant interviews, I began our meeting by saying: “I plan to ask you many questions, so it’s only fair for you to do the same. Is there anything you would like to ask me?” Over the years, no interviewee has turned down that offer. Do I have children? Do I like their country? What is my favorite food?...
Earlier this summer, my daughter participated in her first professional dance intensive, a rigorous training program. It wasn’t in New York or San Francisco or anywhere fancy. It was in Minneapolis at the Cowles Center on Hennepin Avenue. She was selected as the lone high school participant, a source of pride for her. Her excitement gave her mother and me no small measure of joy, almost enough to erase the reminder that she is growing up and soon will make her way out into the world. We will see less of her. She will need less from us. Our...
CHICAGO – Before Dwyane Wade has even played his first game as a Chicago Bull, he has been touched by the city’s violence. His cousin was shot in the head and killed Friday while pushing her baby in a stroller on the South Side. Nykea Aldridge, 32, was not the intended victim. She was walking down the street after registering her children at school when police say two men opened fire on another man, unintentionally striking Aldridge. Her baby was not injured. Two men have been charged. August is going down as the most violent month in...
Public access to a popular lake near Bemidji has been temporarily curtailed while the state attempts to remove a tenacious and annoying form of nonnative algae. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has temporarily closed public access to Turtle Lake while it conducts aggressive treatment on an expanse of starry stonewort that covers nearly three-fourths of an acre of the lake's surface. Starry stonewort is a grasslike algae that can produce dense mats on the surface of a lake. They can choke out native plants, create a wall...
GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — Firefighters chopped down trees and searched for hotspots on steep hillsides Sunday as they battled a wildfire that has blocked an entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Wildfire managers said their top priority is clearing a highway that leads to Yellowstone and protecting campgrounds, buildings and archaeological sites. They also are making sure there are no flare-ups or falling trees that could cause injuries or death. Strong winds blew down several trees Saturday, blocking some roadways. Travelers have...
The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma has announced details of the proposed fishing and hunting compact it expects to sign with the state of Oklahoma. Last week, the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission approved a compact with the Choctaw Nation, but didn't release details, pending signatures by Gov. Mary Fallin and Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton on the agreement. That still needs to be done, but the Choctaw Nation posted details of the pending compact on its Facebook page Friday after it was approved by the Tribal Council....
SPOKANE, Wash. --- The Spokane City Council voted 6-1 to pass a resolution to change the name of "Columbus Day" to "Indigenous Peoples' Day" on Monday. “We have come to understand a myth,” Nez Perce tribal member JoAnna Kauffman said speaking at the meeting. Center for Justice’s Rick Eichstaedt said no one at the City Council meeting was related to Christopher Columbus but many of them are tribal members. http://www.nwcn.com/news/local/spokane-county/city-council-to-consider-resolution-that-changes-columbus-day-to-indi...

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday in Window Rock District Court in Window Rock, Ariz., for former Navajo Nation Council Delegate Lena Manheimer. Manheimer was charged in December 2013 with one count of conspiracy to commit bribery in official and political matters and six counts of bribery. In April 2015, she pleaded no contest to the...
A Quebec mother says she was shocked that two Grade 3 teachers were wearing aboriginal headdresses and handing them out to students on the first day of classes Monday. Jennifer Dorner said she found the scene in the Montreal schoolyard distressing and offensive and posted a photo and commentary on Facebook, where it began making the rounds. “I was pretty horrified, I was hoping that this kind of thing stopped happening a long time ago, but apparently it continues so I took a picture and posted about it,” she said in an interview....
A man was wounded after being shot by a police officer on the Bishop Paiute Reservation in California. According to the Inyo County Sheriff’s Department, an officer responded to an incident of domestic violence early Friday morning when Raymond Bencoma III, 41, displayed a handgun. He was shot and transported to a hospital for treatment. "We strongly encourage the tribal community to be patient while the investigation continues," Chairman Deston Rogers said in a statement on Friday. "We ask for prayers for all involved. The safety of the...
The Toronto Blue Jays' children's charity is building a new baseball diamond for a school near Sioux Lookout, Ont. The Jays Care Foundation presented a cheque for $150,000 to Pelican Falls First Nations High School this past weekend at a baseball tournament in Manitoba for Indigenous youth. The school's First Nations student success coordinator told CBC it's amazing to be able to build something that will give the students pride. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/toronto-blue-jays-to-build-baseball-diamond-for-first-...
BILLINGS - A 12-year-old Hardin girl struck her head and died of the injuries after falling off the toolbox in the bed of a pickup truck she was riding on Saturday afternoon, according to the Montana Highway Patrol. The Chevrolet Silverado was traveling south on Highway 313 about 13 miles south of Hardin on the Crow Indian Reservation when the driver swerved to the left for unknown reasons, after which the girl fell over the passenger side of the truck bed at around 4:20 p.m., according to a report provided by MHP dispatch. The girl had been...
