  • Vikings' playoff hopes end with lopsided loss to Bears

    Dec 31, 2018

    It began with tantalizing possibilities, after a team coming off an NFC Championship Game appearance paid $84 million for quarterback Kirk Cousins and added defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson the next day. It ended with 164 yards of total offense, a heated exchange between Cousins and his top target, and a 16-play, 75-yard drive where a Bears team - at that point with little chance at a first-round bye - exerted its will over the Vikings' vaunted defense. http://www.startrib...

  • Trump's promise of a wall may not be fulfilled as advertised

    Dec 31, 2018

    WASHINGTON — Three confidantes of President Donald Trump, including his departing chief of staff, are indicating that the president's signature campaign pledge to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border would not be fulfilled as advertised. Trump sparked fervent chants of "Build that wall!" at rallies before and after his election and more recently cited a lack of funding for a border wall as the reason for partially shutting down the government. At times the president has also waved off the idea that the wall could be any kind of barrier. h...

  • Should Vikings owner Zygi Wilf fire Mike Zimmer and/or Rick Spielman?

    Dec 31, 2018

    The coach looked overmatched. The general manager's offensive line fluttered like tattered flags in a strong wind. The expensive quarterback barked at the state's most popular athlete. The owner left the locker room looking grim. A season that began with Super Bowl expectations ended in vivid frustration on Sunday, when the Minnesota Vikings, needing the slimmest of victories to make the playoffs, instead produced the most timid of losses, one pointing blame directly at the team's leadership...

  • From 'Rotten Apples' to Martyrs: America Has Changed Its Tune on Teachers

    Dec 31, 2018

    For years, teachers continually heard the message that they were the root of problems in schools. But in a matter of months, the public narrative has shifted: The nation is increasingly concerned about teachers' low salaries and challenging working conditions. Teachers, it seems, are no longer bad actors ruining schools—they're victims of an unfair system, and the only hope for saving kids. https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2018/10/03/from-rotten-apples-to-martyrs-america-has.html?cmp=eml-eb-popyear18+12282018&M=58708586&U=...

  • "Where's all that marijuana money?" Colorado's pot dollars help schools, but maybe not as much as you think

    Dec 31, 2018

    A big part of the 2012 pitch to convince Colorado voters they should legalize recreational marijuana was that the tax money would fix their local schools. Five years after the first sale occurred on Jan. 1, 2014, that tax money has translated into $160 million toward school construction statewide — roughly enough to build three high schools. Meanwhile, the state has actually collected more than $740 million. https://www.denverpost.com/2018/12/27/colorado-marijuana-tax-dollars-schools/...

  • As Baltimore prepares to close more schools, many worry about the communities they anchor

    Dec 31, 2018

    Northwestern High School educated the youth of Baltimore for decades, including future mayor Sheila Dixon and future Raven Terrance West. The sprawling brick high school building was one of the first built in Baltimore after the U.S. Supreme Court declared school segregation unconstitutional. So to many in the Park Heights community, Northwestern’s closing in 2017 represented the erasure of tradition and identity. “You are dismantling the neighborhoods when you dismantle the schools,” said Michael Johnson, a 1974 Northwestern graduate. https...
