As we reported earlier, Cincinnati Federation of Teachers seeks to intervene in our lawsuit against CPS, arguing that teachers have a Constitutional Right to use public school resources to further their political agenda.
Today's Enquirer covers the story as well. COAST attorney Chris Finney is quoted "It's outrageous the position they're [CFT] taking." Read the entire article below.

Update: Cincinnati Enquirer now has the story on their website. Click here to read and comment.

Jean Schmidt drops the lawsuit that spawned a corruption scandal that toppled the Congressman
Today marks the next step in the unraveling of the Congressman that used to be Jean Schmidt.
Jean Schmidt has dropped the $6.8 defamation million lawsuit that she initiated against one-time opponent David Krikorian in Clermont County Common Pleas Court, offering as an explanation only "its time to move on."
The lawsuit and several other legal actions against Krikorian were funded, illegally, by the Turkish Coalition of America to the tune of $500,000. Schmidt dodged the media inquiries and prosecution by the House Ethics Committee by claiming ignorance of what those around her were doing.
The media in Cincinnati, especially the editorial pages, showed what lapdogs they are by refusing to cover and condemn her illegal behavior, or at least her claimed ignorance.
City Beat has the best coverage of today's developments, here. We just wonder why they refused to tell this story while it was happening. The Enquirer's is here.

Enquirer strikes out on endorsements -- three for three bad choices
Oh wow. Where do we start. Maggie Buchanan and Ray Cooklis got it wrong, dead wrong, on all of their three endorsements today.
First, in the Schmidt/Wenstrup race, we have a disgraced Congressman with serious problems with honesty, and legal and ethical troubles out the wazoo, and all they say about the topic is: "She has made herself vulnerable" with her bad choices. And they ignore the stellar accomplishments and credentials of Lt. Col. Dr. Brad Wenstrup.
Second, they fail to understand the clear superiority of Tom Brinkman over Peter Stautberg in the 27th Ohio House District race, and we understand did not even bother to interview the candidates.
In the 31st House District democrat contest, the Enquirer endorsed the eternally dim Denise Driehaus who thought the solution to the foreclosure crisis was to outlaw foreclosures. Yes, she is that dumb.
So, as Ohio sinks into the pit of economic desperation, and the nation remains mired in debt and gridlock, remember that the Enquirer thought that all three of these incumbents were doing just a dandy job. The failures of the Enquirer Ed Board after Maggie Buchanan came to town are legion, and this lineup is par for the course from these two clowns.
