Judge Orders Defendant to Become Functional in English, by Tennessean Standards
Judge Barry Tatum, who sits on the
Wilson, Tennessee Circuit Court, has
recently ordered several Mexican
immigrants to learn English in cases that
have appeared before him in Family
Court. At least five times Judge Tatum
has required non-English speakers to
become functional in English in rulings he

has required non-English speakers to
become functional in English in rulings he

In the most recent case that came
before Judge Tatum, he ordered Felipa
Berrera to learn English or possibly lose
custody of her eleven-year-old American
born daughter. Berrera's attorneys
expected she would be “tested” by the
judge in an April 2005 hearing as
stipulated in an order handed down to
Berrera in October 2004.
While Judge Tatum disputed the term
"test", his original order required that
Berrera answer questions posed by the
judge in English or risk “termination of
her parental rights” and “losing any

Judge Tatum, defending his original order

not assimilated into the culture”.

Memo Reveals White House Staged Town Hall Meetings

A group of young parents and workers
appeared with President George Bush at
the Milwaukee Art Museum on May
19th, to support his plan for changing
the social security system. Students, a
teacher, a small business owner and a
dairy farmer and his working wife, all
under thirty years of age, voiced their
approval of the Bush plan which would
allow workers to opt out of guaranteed
social security benefits.
Also reported last week by the Los

The memo calls on the group to provide

memo requests that the group provide
people “under the age of 29 years old”
whose views echo the specific policy
components that the president
highlighted in Milwaukee last Thursday.
The White House Memo requests that
the president be able to“visit with” a
young worker who “knows” that social
security “could run out before they
retire” and a single parent who believes
that the Bush plan would “provide more
retirement options and security” than
the current system.

Father Michael Sklucazek refused
communion to more than one
hundred congregants at the
Cathedral of Saint Paul in MN in
May because they expressed
support for fellow Catholics who
are gay.
Churchgoers have, since 2001,
worn rainbow-colored sashes to
show support for gay parishioners
and gay Catholics in general.
Congregants who wore the
sashes last week were allowed to
be blessed by the priest but were
refused Holy Communion. Arch
Bishop Harry Flynn had ruled
earlier this month that the
congregant wearing of the sashes
was considered to be a broad
critique of church doctrine.
Father Flynn rejected what he
said was “to use the reception of
communion as an act of
protest." The Catholic Church
has resisted urgings from
adherents to soften its stance
against homosexuality.
In a separate incident, the
administration of Roman Catholic
High School Saint Jude
Educational Institute in Alabama
barred a pregnant student from
participating in graduation
ceremonies last week. Saint Jude
had gone so far as to not list the
pregnant student in the program
with the other graduates. The
graduate, Alysha Crosby, took
matters into her own hands and-
after the entire class of 2005 had
been announced-walked on to
the stage and announced herself.

also a student at Saint Jude, was

'Bill of Rights' Limits Speech
The General Assembly of the State of
Ohio has introduced legislation that aims
to ban the introduction of “controversial
matter into the classroom or course
work.”
Senate Bill 24, labeled the “Academic Bill

studying any matters that may be
interpreted as “antireligious
indoctrination”. The bill is modeled on
conservative activist David Horowitz’s
“Academic Bill Of Rights” versions of

President Hopes to Impede Medical Progress
The Environmental Protection Agency
has proposed a new policy that would
allow sewage treatment plants to
discharge partially treated human waste
into rivers and lakes.
The Clean Water Act restricts sewage
treatment plants from discharging
partially treated waste into the nation's
waterways, but the new EPA policy
would allow ''blending", where untreated
sewage is mixed with treated sewage
before it is discharged.
Wastewater is generally treated first by
allowing waste solids to settle and then
pathogens in the water are killed through
a biological treatment process. The
EPA's proposal would allow discharges of
non-biologically treated wastewater
whenever it rains.
Local governments have welcomed the
measure, as it would reduce costs
associated with water treatment. Critics
have assailed the proposal as putting
economic concerns before those of
community health. its all true

This week President George Bush
threatened to use the first veto of his
presidency to defeat a bill working its
way through Congress that would
provide funding for stem cell research.
The House of Representatives is moving
aggressively to provide funding for
research that could use embryos
abandoned by parents who attempted
invitro-fertilization so that they could
have a child. The measure has over 200
co-sponsors, 46% of all congress
members.
Joining President Bush in the fight
against medical research is a group of
conservative politicians who are
troubled by the religious and ethical
ramifications of the research. Senator
Sam Brownback, (R-KS) who has gone
on record opposing embryonic stem cell
research stated, “Young lives must never
be sacrificed for any reason”. Tony
Perkins of the evangelical religious
threatened to use the first veto of his
presidency to defeat a bill working its

This month South Korean scientists
made substantial strides in embryonic

ten dozen new cell lines. Research into
embryonic stem cells could advance
treatment for chronic and debilitating
diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease
and Alzheimer’s Disease that afflict
millions.
There are more than 100,000 frozen
embryo cells in America that are
currently considered medical waste.
Four states have passed laws that
circumvent the federal embargo on
funding embryonic stem cell research:
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Wisconsin
and California, which has created a 3
billion dollar trust fund for research.
