Bloomington’s summer benefits

·

This being my first real summer in Bloomington, I was shocked to find out the number of my friends that were actually staying here. It seems like the number of people who went back home have actually made this place a lot nicer to get around.



Arresteed Immigrants

Gama brothers define home with passing of HEA 1402

·

Erick and Omar Gama moved from Mexico to Indianapolis when they were 11. They didn’t know the language, they didn’t have documentation and they were often made fun of at school because of their lack of English skills. The two brothers aren’t sure how they passed that year of fifth grade but by the eighth grade, they were moved out of the English as a second language program and were accepted into the Magnet program, which is for advanced students in Indianapolis Public Schools.

Limbaugh puts American Politics in Limbo

·

For several months I’ve been recreationally following American political commentator, Rush Limbaugh. Before I move on, I would like to say this is not an attack on the beliefs of any party or person. My main concern is not what Limbaugh and other conservative talk show hosts are preaching, but rather how they are preaching it.
