Editorial: Summer class requirements need to be revisited

Column: France's invisible protests, defending paradise

They shut down the school Thursday. They shut it down the Thursday before, too, and the Thursday before that. They stack desks and chairs in front of the doors — canary yellow paint and pine, legs rounded like children’s handwriting. They scrawl signs in green and red and blue, in jaunty all-caps of acrylic. They tape a sign that says “Life’s an apple, the labor law’s a worm.” I think, “Life’s an apple,” and nudge the chairs from the handle.

Guest column: 'Shared Opportunity in Every Community'" April is National Fair Housing Month

This important act also made it unlawful for a housing provider to make, print or publish any statement or advertisement that states a preference based on these classes.
