| "Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board." |

Christian club sues US school district authorities over media restriction
|
|
An Oklahoma school district is facing a lawsuit for allegedly forbidding organizers of a Christian club from promoting events on campus.
According to a Fox news report, Matt Sharp, an attorney representing the Kids for Christ, a community-led Christian group, is suing the Owasso Public Schools.
Sharp, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, said the school district told the club it could no longer publicize its events, including discouraging organizers from spreading the word in the community and local media.
They have a specific policy on the books that targets religious expression by community organizations, he told Fox News.
School officials confirmed Monday afternoon they had received the lawsuit, but said they have not had time to review the contents.
Sharp said the club meetings are held at the local elementary school before school and are open to students in kindergarten through the fifth grade.
The superintendent said they were religious and couldn't have the same access as other clubs, he said.
The club was organized last year, and Sharp said the Kids for Christ initially was given permission to promote activities through flyers and announcements. But that changed with the new semester. (ANI) |

Oklahoma City Sun
|

The Oklahoma City Sun is essentially a local Oklahoma City newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Oklahoma City, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Oklahoma City Sun. |
