Bored with some of the topics—start a discussion thread on your topic.
How about a couple of items for your comments?
1. A Circuit Judge just threw out a lawsuit that challenged the legality of a write-in candidate to close a political party’s primary. He stated: “the language [of the Florida law] is clear; it leaves no ambiguity about what it means.” Though not a case directly involving the local write-in candidacy of Nancy Stacy, it seems to confirm the legality of what she did—which some had questioned.
2. One in ten U.S. high schools is a “dropout factory”, defined as no more than 60% of the students who start as freshmen make it to their senior year. Florida and South Carolina have the highest percentages. Almost half of the high schools in Florida classify as dropout factories.
That’s a start. You add some more discussion items.
