Church seeks closure of School of the Americas
The 206th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) voted 373 to 132 to urge the president Congress and military leaders to close the School of the Americas at Fort Benning Georgia. Five presbyteries petitioned for the resolution arguing the school trained Latin American dictators in U S military tactics. Congress previously rejected a bid to close the school in May.

Sedan High School Blue Devil mascot cleared by attorney general
TorcKA AP Sedan High School may continue using the Blue Devil as its mascot. Attorney General Bob Stephan said the mascot does not principally advance or inhibit religion and aligns with the school district’s athletic identity. The opinion, requested by Unified School District 286, notes the mascot has been used for over 50 years and is presented as a caricature rather than a religious symbol.
