New York Times: Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Today's paper had a good variety of stories to read.  I hate when the paper only talks about politics for  day. 

The picture that accompanied the drug test story was very powerful.  It paints a clear picture as to what some people are actually going through in this country.  

I am also baffled by the stuttering story.  It is absolutely unacceptable that a college professor won't let a student speak in class because he has a stuttering problem.  It's a teachers job to make sure that the classroom is a comfortable learning environment.  If i student isn't even welcome to participate in class discussions, then that teacher is failing.  I would be seriously disturbing if the professor wasn't punished for this.  I did, however, think that the opening for the story was amazing; it made me want keep reading it.  If it was a summary lead, I probably would have been very bored.
