St. X Student Faces 5 Day Suspension For Not Promoting Christianity In Public

By Gerard Oh \| Dealer staff writer	Wed, Dec 15, 2004
St. Xavier high school suspended junior Justin Roberson Friday for not promoting Christianity outside of class. His father Mel Roberson agreed with the punishment, saying, "Justin's evangelical mission doesn't end with the school bell. He needs to know that breaking rules and spreading God's love in public places as much as possible to save these godless heathens is okay."

Quick Poll

A weighted voting system, Proportional Representation (PR), may be on the ballot. How do YOU feel?

	This poll is invalid since I can't rank my choices.
	Leslie Ghiz is my #1, but I can't decide who to rank #2, Pat Fischer or John Eby.
	I can understand why the NAACP supports PR, since Charlie Winburn would likely replace Laketa Cole on council in 2009.
	I prefer the current model of electing the same 9 people every two years.
	I'm torn about PR. I would love to rank Sam Malone in dead last on a PR ballot, but I don't know if I could stomach voting for him.
	Does this mean Justin Jeffre and Michael Earl Patton will stop running for Council after they discover they still can't win under PR? Then I'm all for it.
	This system will only encourage more crazy people to run for City Council... and so I support it.
	Call me old-fashioned, but I would prefer it if the candidates with the most votes win.
