I started to research this case, and found three other cases like it, plus an additional person trying to blackmail the school board, and I ended up going down the rabbit hole.  Four people broke a promise - a promise that when you send your kids to school, that all educational professionals will have your child’s, and the community’s at large, best interest in mind.  That’s not always the case th...

In a time where the world was transitioning from trains and carriages to automobiles, much of the nation still stayed connected by traveling by railroad.  On a night in 1909, a combination of foggy weather, miscommunication, and an overcomplicated system led to a tragic crash and 7 men not going home to their families.   The accident helped shed light on processes that did not work, and either the...
