1)The central message of the speech that Pope Francis delivered yesterday was that we should stop all the bad stuff in our economy and try to unite as one instead of all ones and he delivered the speech to 1.2 billion Catholics. The story illustrated the huge interest for his address by trying to abolish the death penalty. This speech was historic because Pope Francis said that we should break out of polarization and paralysis and use its power to heal the "open wounds" of a planet torn by hatred, greed, poverty and pollution. Congress invited him to come.
2)The broad difference of opinion that exists about the incident that was the heart of Thursday's UIL state executive committee hearing was that is this was all occurred because of raciest remarks said by the referee. The likely hood that John Jay assistant football coach Mack Breed and players Micheal Moreno and Victor Rojas will return to school are very high. Mike Motheral, the chairmen of the committee for the hearing, was most frustrated that central figures in the incident -(Moreno, Rojas, Watts, and Breed)- didn't appear before the committee during Thursday's 31/2- hour hearing.
3)The action that caused more than five dozen parents and students to assemble outside of East's Austin's Maplewood Elementary School on Thursday was the protest of 100 people to change the class- size limits. Over crowing is what made the school district have to take this action and the sixth graders at the school were hurt by this action because they were taking all the sixth grade teachers away to help teach forth grade. The outcome was about the same of a similar protest at Bryker Woods Elementary School in Central Austin.
4)The legal opinion that state senator John Whitmire, D-Huston, asked from the attorney general was a law on whether the state's new open carry law will allow holstered firearms to be carried on school property. The new law he asked will take effect on January 1st. Whitmire interprets the law that guns are only allowed to be outside on school campus not inside. The attorney general has 180 days to answer Whitmire's question and it may not matter anyways because of the state law on gun's.
BOARDER PATROL AGENT INDICTED IN KILLING A TEEN.
This story really caught my eye . This story was about how a boarder agent killed a Mexican teenager and what surprised me was the fact that he is only one out of three to let this happen in the past 20 years. Only two other agents have been charged in killing teen immigrants. I think that this is a very interesting topic because to this day it still surprises me that people are willing to take someones life just because people want to come to the amazing country that is America. But i do understand that is could have bee for self deffence and he was new to the job and might have known.

Quote
"One time I was ridding my bike and I forgot to tie my shoelaces so, then my shoelaces got caught in the pedals and after a long time of struggling the bike fell and I went with it. As I was trying to get up a big dog came and let me remind you I'm terrified of dogs. So the dog grabs on to my hair and wont let go and I think this is the end, my life is going to be over. Eventually the dog lets go with two big chunks of my hair and I was bald for about three months. So the lesson I learned from that was to always tie my shoes before I do anything."

Current Event Quiz 1
1) The university of Texas is under fire for hiring two graduate assistants back in 2012 because two out of the four of them were involved in a mass harassment and had just got out of jail. While they were getting the job at UT the people there were given false and in accurate information. Usually when the campus figures out that somethings has gone wrong they investigate. But spokesmen Garry Susswein came to the conclusion that since they weren't university employees nor had any supervisory roles there was no need for an investigation. Although UT does not forbid anyone to work there if they have a criminal record, Anyone who has been convicted in the past seven years is generally not allowed to work at UT. I do not believe that the university had the full story before hiring these two men because if UT wanted publicity they wouldn't try to get bad publicity they would want good publicity.
