		<description><![CDATA[This video clip from CNN infuriates me.  I do not understand the mentality of denying education.  The school board here wanted to remove the book Freedom Writers Diary from a high school English teacher&#8217;s curriculum.  The teacher wouldn&#8217;t stand for removing this book from the classroom.  My philosophy is teach and discuss controversy, not deny [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mywrittenwords.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2957125&amp;post=12&amp;subd=mywrittenwords&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This poem has been inspired by my very strong Aunt Laura who has sat by my Grandmother&#8217;s side for the last eight months as she battled for her health. Laura sat by her side and held Grandma&#8217;s hand as she took her last breath. For remembering good times and hoping for peace for Aunt Laura [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mywrittenwords.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2957125&amp;post=11&amp;subd=mywrittenwords&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a poem&#8230;I&#8217;m new to poetry, so forgive the primitive structure.  I&#8217;d love any suggestions for improvement. This has been written after a period of violence against our students.  Seeing this turmoil in a young student&#8217;s life always forces me to think about the sadness that is nice to forget. She wears a fashion [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mywrittenwords.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2957125&amp;post=10&amp;subd=mywrittenwords&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
