Setting things straight

I recently blogged about teacher layoffs. That blog was published in the paper. In the blog I mentioned a friend of mine. In the paper I took her and tried to make a fictional, hypothetical teacher. Unfortunately, after three weeks of no sleep, things that seemed completely vague to me weren't as vague as I thought. No one came to us and told us we needed to write that editorial. Let's be honest, as journalist we are -- by nature -- apt to do the exact opposite of what we are told. For any trouble that blog/editorial may have caused for anyone, especially my friend, I apologize. I however will not apologize for what I said. The education system is in poor shape and Gov. Bershear needs to find other ways to get money for his casinos than taking it from education.
