Interrogating students without parents’ permission
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The principals and police departments at several metro area school districts have the authority to question students who commit discipline incidents that may also be considered as crimes (vandalism, disorderly conduct, assault, theft, etc.) without first contacting parents for their permission. The information students share with principals may be used against them in school discipline and criminal cases.
What do you think about this practice? Should parents be contacted before administrative and police interrogations? Should parents be invited to sit in? Should parents be allowed to send an attorney to the interrogations to keep their child from confessing to a crime?

What would Larry say about loss to Bama?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The difficult loss to Alabama Saturday night was harder for Bulldog fans because longtime broadcaster Larry Manson was not there to explain it to us in his gloomy and growling way. What would the retired legend’s words of caution and comfort been?
Sports Illustrated writer Andy Staples came up with this today: “Good God. They’re just killing us. Killing us. Terrence Cody is occupying our entire offensive line. Andre Smith is mauling our defensive linemen. Glen Coffee is running through us like a 59-cent burrito. We’re discombobulated on offense. We’re confused on defense. And Julio Jones? My God. A freshman?”
So give us your best Munson-style description.

Did gas crisis affect your church this weekend?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The hunt for gasoline had many Georgians staying home. Have you noticed any affect on worship activities or attendance? Were there some church trips postponed? Are any special prayers being lifted up?
