I think it really sucks that I can't read the article posted in account login and password. I have enough of those.
I wasted enough money at Vanderbilt. I should not have to pay $7.50 to read about someone else who feels the Powers That Beat are playing a sophisticated game of bait and switch.
Will someone please forward the text of this article to me online?

Maybe the application essay I wrote might work better for someone else. I didn't get get the job or an offer of admission.
Go figure. Maybe for once in my life, I am right on time and right on target. Or perhaps the rest of the world has finally caught up... So for all of you folks who have been there with me, don't forget this...

The NAACP Files a Civil Rights Complaint Against MNPS
Elyssa Durant
Nashville, Tennessee, January 26, 2009. The Nashville affiliate of the NAACP has filed a civil rights complaint with the Department of Education over the pending rezoning of Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. Keith Caldwell, community member and parent filed the complaint on January 20, 2009 just minutes after President Obama was sworn into office as the first Black president in the United States of America.
This announcement, made Monday morning, January 26, 2009 at the NAACP headquarters of the local affiliate as the media and several members the community watched. Reverend James Lawson, civil rights activist who worked with Martin Luther King Junior, and Marilyn Robinson, president of the Nashville NAACP, joined Caldwell. In a statement, Rev. Lawson stated that he believes the rezoning plan is “immoral, unethical, and wrong.” Mr. Caldwell fears that the already segregated neighborhoods of Nashville will suffer as a result of a return to neighborhood schools. Both look towards the landmark Brown vs. Board decision as an example of how separate but equal is inherently unequal, however there a several well- known and established members of the Black community who disagree.
Pastor Enoch Fuzz, community leader and activist, notes that a return to neighborhood schools will encourage parent involvement and brings with it large federal subsidies to provide students and their families with much needed financial resources in the poorest sections of Nashville. Karen Johnson, elected member to the school board also points out that the plan includes comprehensive plans to allow significant choice that includes transportation for children who are not performing well in their current school environment.
The rezoning hearings took place in an open environment and involved a Task Force made of up of community members and parents. The Task Force, the majority of who are African-American unanimously supported a return to neighborhood schools in favor of the rezoning plan. The plan allows for choice with transportation.
The Civil Rights branch of the DOE investigates discrimination complaints for institutions that receive federal funding and will investigate the claim.
If MNPS is found to be in violation, MNPS stands to lose as much as 67 million dollars in federal funding. Caldwell’s children attend magnet schools and are not at risk of being transferred back to their locally zoned schools, however, Caldwell hopes that this investigation will prompt MNPS to halt the implementation of the rezoning plan.

Music To My Ears: Skaggs Brings His Voice to the Music City Inaugural Ball
RICKY AND SHARON WHITE SKAGGS TO KICK OFF ORGANIZING EFFORT TOMORROW (SUNDAY) FOR LARGEST INAUGURAL BALL OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON, D.C.
NASHVILLE -- Rickey and Sharon White-Skaggs will worship tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with the Rev. Enoch Fuzz and his congregation at Corinthian Baptist Church in north Nashville as the first official act kicking off the organizing effort behind the largest inaugural ball outside Washington, D.C. to recognize the swearing in of the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama.
The Grammy-winning couple will be introduced to the congregation and the public at noon of the service and are expected to make comments about this historic coming together of people of prominence across racial, religious, class and political lines for the Music City USA President's Inauguration Day Inaugural Ball.
That event is slated for 7 p.m., Jan 20 at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville. The ballroom holds up to 1,100 people. Tickets now are on sale at $100 apiece and are tax deductible. Look at the end of this press release for more information on how and where people can buy tickets.
Skaggs-White is co-sponsor of the Music City Ball along with Fuzz. She and her husband did not support Obama's candidacy but now want people to support him for the good of the nation and Nashville. Fuzz supported Obama's candidacy but sensed the need for more unity if the 44th president of the United States was to be successful in rescuing the nation and Nashville from current economic troubles.
Momentum continues to build behind the Ball as does the number of people who will be helped and recognized. Twenty-one charities will hopefully receive $44,000 in support. Corporate, organizational and individual sponsorships are needed to meet this most worthy goal.
Additionally, 44 servicemen and women and their spouses from Ft. Campbell will be invited free of charge to attend the Ball and stay overnight. Their service to this nation in the war on terror will be recognized prominently at the historic event.
To buy tickets online, go to www.volunteernashville.com. Your tickets will be available at the door on the night of the Ball.
To buy tickets offline, contact the Rev. Jackie Baugh at (615) 569-3010. You can write a check and pick up tickets from her or she will bring the tickets to you. Make your check out to: The New Hope Foundation.
Corinthian Baptist Church is located at 819 33rd Avenue N. 37209.
