Ignorance. The word is derived from Latin, meaning 1) a lack of knowledge, and/or 2) a disregard for what is known. When applying the word as it might describe an individual person, there is a slight dichotomy here. The first definition is clear; an ignorant person just doesn’t have information needed to speak intelligently on a given topic. The second bears the implication that the ignorant person might be informed, but has chosen to disregard some, if not all, the available knowledge. The American public education system has a long history of providing access to information for its ...
Let’s cut to the chase. The Fredonia school district has received an 8% increase in state aid this year. The district can propose a zero percent increase in the tax levy that would cover the 1.9% capital project approved by voters last December with a near 2% extra to apply to the district’s highest priorities.

It seems arrogant to have a revote just because they didn’t like the outcome. Funny it never works the other way when it passes. The ...
“Nearly the whole of the professional, intellectual, and government class has betrayed the cause of universal human liberty in our times.” — Jeffrey Tucker. Our government forces taxpayers to subsidize those who chose not to work, lavishes subsidies on Wall Street billionaires for counter-productive Net-Zero Green Energy projects, and subsidizes illegal aliens and the Non-Governmental Organizations that brought them here. USAID funded the CIA overthrow of the legitimate government of Ukraine 2014, setting off the current Russia/Ukraine conflict which has cost a million lives so ...
As students at Fredonia High School, we, like our fellow classmates, benefit from the programs our district offers, from large, diverse music and sports programs to a wide selection of courses and extracurriculars. Our students excel outside of the classroom in fields ranging from business and journalism to diving and geography. At the end of the day, though, every school needs resources, paid for by the communities they serve. Residents’ ability to pay for said resources is, understandably, strained by the 56.03% village tax increase levied last month. If those with fixed incomes ...
