     This article shows a new age of hope. It shows how many people can now be comfortableMany more children are now "coming out of the closet", showing their true selves and becoming overall happier people. with who they are, and how they can broadcast their views without nearly as much persecution as they would have recieved a few years ago. Many more children are now "coming out of the closet", showing their true selves and becoming overall happier people. John Schwarz addresses the difficulty some children face, and how many of them fear discrimination from many, including their own friends and parents, despite the leaps and bounds society has overcome to include homo/bi-sexual views today.  The article also shows how some children in school may show resistance to many ideas, persecuting those who show themselves. 

Dear Chamblee News,

          What might you think about our school, Chamblee? Do you think it is a teacher/student friendly environment for learning? Do you think the teacher’s jobs are well-paid and in the right hands? No? Then you are agreeing with the teachers’ strike in Chicago.

          Would you lower the wage of the teachers of your children? Would you do it based on test scores that are affected by children who may not even care about their education? Although the school system is for the children, the teachers definitely deserve more concern.

          So what might teachers be dissatisfied with in the school system? Well for one, their salaried are dependent on test scores of ALL children, not just kids who care about their education. If some children don’t even care about their education, why should it affect the wages of our school teachers, when it might as well have been caused by an out-of-school event!? And when this happens, the local community should worry about it more than school teachers.

         Teachers everywhere are also having their wages cut and their healthcare lowered. Are you willing to have our teachers have their earning reduced?
 
                                                                       Sincerely,
                                                                       Concerned Students (Patrick L. and Michelle S.)

So, you have a major drawing of Jesus, a major symbol of the most popular religion in the world. It's very old and important, with lots of value to the Sanctuary of Mercy Church, and has is very damaged. Suddenly, an elderly woman approaches with a mediocre drawing, which is meant to be a restoration of the famous painting. The elderly woman (anonymous) desecrated an old painting by Elias Garcia Martinez when she tried repainting the image by brush.

    The elderly woman took a highly valued painting and ruined it. Although with best intentions, restorations should be done by professionals with plenty of training and experience. Once the painting is damaged as it was in this story, the damage cannot be undone. How an elderly woman could have easily taken the painting and ruined it, I don't know, but there should be added precautions to protect paintings as valued as Elias' painting of Ecce Homo. The painting now resembles a "crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic" If someone were to take a highly valued piece of art from your community and desecrate it in an attempt to "restore" it, how would you react?
