Mississippi School To Move Into Last Century
=================================
The Tate County (Miss.) School Board has decided to stop electing separate black and white high school homecoming queens and courts – next year. Opponents of the practice have filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights and had sought to invalidate a Sept. 18 election of two slates of candidates.

They term the outdated practice “racist” and illegal. A similar situation at Hernando High School in 1997 was investigated by the Office of Civil Rights and led to race-neutral elctions there.

CIA, We Did Not Teach Bin Ladin
=================================
Numerous comments in the media recently have reiterated a widely circulated but incorrect notion that the CIA once had a relationship with Usama Bin Ladin. For the record, you should know that the CIA never employed, paid, or maintained any relationship whatsoever with Bin Ladin.
