Utah Officials Viewing Pornographic Websites Staff Writer, Utah Community News - Copyright 2007 Employees of the state of Utah are trolling and viewing the world's most vile pornographic websites at taxpayer expense and with computers and hardware belonging to the state. ==================================== FALSE PROPHETS Or Why The Muslims Hate America Utah Community News Staff Writer The American People are a decent, moral people for the most part. The so called "America" that is displayed by Hollywood and by the hedonistic liberal-elitist TV media people and their shows that glorify every aspect of depravity is a carefully crafted illusion. We recognize this up front, we know it is all about shock value, which show or personality can be more outrageous. The Left in general and especially certain political party types embraced the illusion even as they were creating it. They have discredited themselves by this illusion that they show the world. Religious fanatics like Osama Bin Laden and those Wacko-Kooks in IRAN see the illusion and believe it is truth. They think America really is this way, because they see their youth acting-out the illusion. They suspend disbelief as, hypnotized, they pipe this garbage into their homes via satellite dish. They suck in this suedo-culture like sponges. The civilized Iranian youth act out the illusion while the backward, rustic, primitive unwashed Arab was thrust into the twentieth century about 50-60 years ago and does not have the background or culture to discern what is real and what is TV glitz, so they believe it all. This is why they hate us, because we have tempted them, when they try to touch the illusion it shifts or fades and they are left wallowing in the pig manure of their shattered beliefs. This is why the Mullahs and muftis hate us. They hate us because they are failures at teaching righteousness to their people. They hate us because we make them feel jealous, or horny and insecure. To prove this one need only look at the Muslim reaction to the Danish cartoon that portrayed the false prophet "Maha-Mad" with a bomb in his turban. If the cartoon had been unrealistic or if they are, what they say they are; (Muslims = Religion of Peace) 1. It would not have been funny enough to publish. 2. If the cartoon were untrue peaceful protests and objections might have broken out everywhere, no one would have lashed out so violently. 3. The violent, over the top, hot headed Muslim reaction to the cartoon, proves it to be one of the truest, and the most profound, political cartoons ever published in the entire history of cartooning and lampooning. They see just how backward they really are, and just how silly they look to the world, but rather than change, they lash out at the evil foreign influences. Why don’t they just choose to turn the channel, or to turn off the TV, or take down the dish? OR ACT CIVILIZED? Those who disagree with the violent ones sit back smoking their hookahs and do nothing. They do nothing because they are nothing, nothing but the result of generations of totalitarian repression. They have no real values and no real beliefs because they have never had any real freedom. If they ever let the Mormon Missionaries into Saudi Arabia, the entire culture will collapse. They know this, and its time we did too. |

| Utah's Teacher Shortage
SALT LAKE CITY --
Staff Writer UTAH COMMUNITY NEWS
Utah schools will have to hire at least 44,000 new teachers by 2014, according to a new study. To fill the need, one state lawmaker wants to give newly-hired and current teachers a $1,000 one-time bonus and a $1,000 raise, and provide enough money to hire 1,000 new teachers. It has an $80 million price tag. Rep. Ron Bigelow, R-West Valley and co-chairman of the chief budget committee on Capitol Hill, said his "Education 1000" plan would help keep experienced teachers in the classroom and bring in new ones. Passing it would also send a message to the education community that legislators want to reduce class size, he said. Some candidates for the legislature like Mark Burnside, understand the real trouble with Utah's education system. Burnside says "The trouble with the legislature is they just want to APPEAR to send the message, and that is as far as it ever goes." Traditionally Utah's legislature has kept Utah's teachers and schools in a bizarre kind of financial bondage, giving them each just enough to eek out a living, but never enough for them to get a head or solve any real problems. High schools in the Davis District are grossly mismanaged, Layton High for instance is cutting back elective education in every subject except Special Ed and Football. The Principal at Layton High pours over a million dollars a year into his pet Football Program, but doesn't have $80.00 for an Auto Shop text book for kids to share. Burnside goes on to say, that "If the rhetoric coming off Utah's capitol hill had any substance this problem could have been solved years ago. The incumbents in office have repeated shown a proclivity for lip service. To be effective we must use a GENUINE multi-faceted approach. Lip service is not enough. Utah MUST fully fund PROVEN alternative avenues of education such as, UEN's EdNet program. Districts who do not participate in such programs, like the Davis District, should receive massive cutbacks to their state allocated funding until they "Get the Message" The Utah Education Supply and Demand Study was submitted Friday to the Utah Board of Education. The study suggests bonuses might help make teaching a more attractive career prospect. Teacher pay in Utah is among the nation's lowest. Burnside: "We don't need to waste money on another study... too many millions of dollars have been poured down that bottomless pit already. We know what to do, our current legislature just simply does not have the balls to do it. It's an old Man's club where they get together and slap each other on the back. We need fresh blood up there on Capitol Hill, not the same old, same-o, lip service coupled with Utah's traditions of Nepotism and cronyism. The Utah State University study estimates the state will need to hire more than 6,000 teachers a year in the latter part of the decade. Teaching colleges are growing, but the number of graduates churned out since 2000 isn't. Numbers even dipped between 2003 and 2004, the study states. Just more than half of those graduating from teaching colleges take jobs in Utah classrooms. Half the new teachers quit in the first five years. And Utah has more than 12,500 residents who are certified to teach but aren't working in education, according to the study. "We see what's coming down the mountain," said Byron R. Burnham, professor and head of USU's instructional technology department, who authored the study with professor Nicholls Eastmond and graduate student Debora Escalante. "But are we being adequate in our response?" The study fleshes out previous USU studies, using a broad range of data from the State Office of Education and Governor's Office of Planning and Budget.
