Jim Ball will fight for public education in Indiana

Anonymous THE GOSHEN NEWS The Goshen News Fri Oct 12, 2012, 08:00 AM EDT

Indiana’s Public Schools are under attack. A plan to destroy our public schools is afoot and Jim Ball will help us save them.

When Jim Ball is elected to the Indiana State Senate in District 12, he will work to restore the millions of dollars cut from funding for Indiana Public Schools. Jim knows an educated work force is needed to attract quality jobs to Indiana. He will work with those in the state Senate who also understand that public schools are the foundation needed to provide a quality education for his three children and all Indiana children.

As a resident and active member of the Middlebury community, Jim Ball will work hard as a state Senator to defend and properly fund public schools as well as support the hard working Public School teachers who dedicate their lives to all of our children’s education.

Vote for Jim Ball for District 12 Indiana Senate.

Goshen should stick with ‘Redskins’
I must respond to the letter to the editor from Mr. Ron Chupp (The Goshen News, May 9). What’s in a name, Mr. Chupp? I too have a Native American heritage, and for some reason, I am not offended by the term Redskins, or brown skins or any other color of skins.

More important issues than a nickname

There is hope through God
May I share what happened to me after praying about the issue of whether to have guns carried by school authorities at Goshen High School. While calling out to God, my question was: Why have we as a nation come to trusting in government agencies, such as Homeland Security, rather than obeying the Constitution in what you have declared through our forefathers?

‘Redskins’ nickname is offensive
The question posed (in the May 5 edition) was, “What’s in a Name?” In the case of the GHS (Redskins) mascot, it is insult, degradation, racism, and an ongoing slap-in-the face reminder of the disgusting manner in which my Native American ancestors were treated by Europeans.
