I just received a copy of the paperwork that needs to be filled out to apply for riding Taft Area Transit Dial-A-Ride. While I think it is a good idea to make sure people qualify, I'm not sure that I like what they put on the back-side of the form. It is an identical application written in spanish. Man that really ticks me off. We speak and read in

Be careful parents and students. Taft City School District will hold it against you if you keep your child home sick. Even if your child takes a doctors note to school. So if the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) thinks your child has been home sick too often, they will require you to attend a meeting. During that meeting they will treat the ...

I was shocked while watching the Jets versus Dolphins football game when the first penalty was explained by the referee in spanish. Have the executives of MNF forgotten that this is the United States of America and we speak English. If I wanted to watch or hear the game in spanish I would have switched channels.

Teachers in California you better learn Spanish if you want to keep your job. Wait a minute isn't this the United States of America, and don't the citizens of the U.S. speak English? Am I the only person that is upset about this? I doubt it, but if we say anything we are labeled racist or bigots. I know that people come here from other countries to

Thanks for that post. I got a good laugh out of it.

Why is it not right for same sex to marry? Don't you want the best possible education for your son, shouldn't all points of view be presented and let your son make an informed decision? This is something that people need to talk about. I too, am a father, I have 3 kids and if one of my kids wants to marry the same sex, well that is fine with me. ...

I was saddened to see that so many people want to continue to deny the rights of  U.S. citizens. All people regardless of race, religion, color or creed deserve the right to marry whom they please. Please don't make this a religious argument, it boils down to denying rights. There was a point in time when women were denied the right to vote. ...
