I have many family members that have lived on the Eastern ... their entire lives and they have told me they also have impoverished Hispanic immigrants living in their towns.

- 927: Political Correctness in Schools
- Political Correctness in Schools Schools in Canada have recently become the battleground for the fight over how much political correctness should be allowed to infiltrate grade school classrooms.

I can remember an incident involving myself, a water gun and a teacher back in grade four. What had happened was that I pondered onto school grounds with a tiny plastic watergun. As I proceeded down the hallway a teacher took notice of my “ water-squirting” device. She approached me and ceased the toy from my hands . Many elementary school ...

Washington wrote, in his autobiography, ONE day, while at work in the coal-mine, I happened to overhear two miners talking about a great school for coloured people somewhere in Virginia. This was the first time that I had ever heard anything about any kind of school or college that was more pretentious than the little coloured school in our town.

- ... be roughly defined as meditation. Dhyana denotes specifically the state of consciousness of a Buddha, one whose mind is free from the assumption that the distinct individuality of oneself and other things is real. The school of Zen Buddhism begins with a Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma, an Indian Buddhist monk who arrived in China in 520.
