Obama Honors Fallen Troops
'Tough Love: New Orleans' Swamp Date
The deadline for the Race to the Top Commencement Challenge, a novel national competition that will reward a lucky high school with a presidential visit, is just five days away so interested schools need to get busy - now.
The 2011 Commencement Challenge invites public high schools to show how their school is preparing them for college and a career.
The winning school will earn a visit from President Barack Obama at its commencement this spring.
Obama has set a goal of graduating the highest proportion of college students in the world by 2020.
Applying for the 2011 Commencement Challenge requires three short essays and data that is available from each school to show how they are preparing their students for college and a career while establishing a culture of student success and academic excellence.
Last year, Kalamazoo Central in western Michigan beat out more than 1,000 schools to win the competition.

This is why white people are well advised to get out of neighborhoods once they turn Negro:

Whites need to understand that the law and courts will not protect them from Negro violence. It is very difficult to prosecute a Negro because that would be "racist". My advice to these whites is either move or get a gun.
