  • Bathing Students in Bathos0

    It has been an embarrassing fall for government schools in Colorado. Results from the state standards tests show that they continue to be unable to teach large numbers of children to read and write. They also seem to have a continuing problem making sensible judgements. In November, Sonya Golden, a 17-year-old honor student in Colorado Springs, was suspended when a random search found a pocket knife in the first-aid kit of her car.[1]

  • Riot Fees and Identity Politics: Making the Innocent Pay0

    University of Colorado Regent Jim Martin wants to make all CU students pay a riot fee because riots by college age people have destroyed property in Boulder.

  • Abortion Distortion0

    After 20 years of automatically funding Planned Parenthood, the Colorado health department finally put the contract for rural women’s health services out to bid. In an even more radical step, Jane Norton, the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, announced that obeying the law would be a requirement for prospective bidders. Article 5, Section 50 of the Colorado Constitution forbids using public funds to “pay or otherwise reimburse” any entity “either directly or indirectly” for the performing an induced abortion. Money is fungible and Planned Parenthood does abortions. It cannot bid.

  • Junk Politics0

    In the June 11 Denver Rocky Mountain News [LG1], Ken Gordon, Colorados House minority leader, called for a special session of the Colorado General Assembly to discuss youth violence. Despite a 1993 special legislative session that banned juvenile possession of handguns, Mr. Gordon fears children may die if we fail to limit youth access to guns. He wants more reasonable restrictions. Even though these restrictions are the same measures that populate the laundry lists of laws proposed groups dedicated to disarming private citizens, Mr. Gordon still claims to support the constitutional right to bear arms.
