Maryland University Bullies are Demanding More and We’ve Got to Pay

When you pay your bills in full and on time you do not expect to have the entity you owed demanding more money, but that is what happened to us. We have children that attend Maryland Universities and the schools decided to institute a mid year increase after we had already paid the bill for the spring semester. It’s like a bully who knows there is not a thing you can do but pay. What other company could demand more for a bill you already paid? One school wants an additional $58 and the other one wants $62 sounds like small amounts, but as my mother loved to say “it’s the principle of the thing.” I could see a hike in the fall which I am sure is coming, but a mid year hike after the bill has been paid is simply wrong, but the bully gets what the bully wants.

What’s wrong with a little White Pride?

February is designated as Black History Month. The goal of the month is to celebrate the rich contributions that blacks have made to society. Back in the day the contributions of blacks had been whitewashed out of the history books and February was a time to spotlight the accomplishments of black people. Towson University which is located in Towson Maryland is in the midst of a tense situation. Some white students have decided to celebrate “White Pride”. They wrote White Pride with chalk on the sidewalks of the university, and some minority students have expressed dismay. The students who are members of the group are also wearing tee shirts adorned with the Confederate flag. So my question is if the White Pride students are not being disruptive or violent should they be allowed to celebrate White Pride? http://www.wbaltv.com/education/30640087/detail.html
