Mr. Earl, I strongly object to the opinion you espouse for the exact reason you state: History. Madison Heights is not “Ancient History”; it was a mere 13 years ago when the last class graduated from MHHS. Some of those students are still in Anderson; and have children. They may have parents who attended MHHS.
Honoring history is “exactly” what Anderson should do. We honor history in the hallway of the school with past accomplishments. Let this band honor the history of all three schools. That is real unity.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.
