[edit] Supreme Court ruling?

I can't believe that there is nothing in here about the landmark US Supreme Court ruling or the SPS policy that provoked it.

[edit] September 2007

I just removed the internal links that several schools had in the list that were pointing to non existent pages, the schools are still listed but without the links. DMcMPO11AAUK 01:42, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Controversy"

It seems to me that the "Controversy" section is extremely one-sided. The nature of a controversy is that there are two sides to it. - Jmabel | Talk 04:14, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Former schools

We are missing a lot of them. I've added a few, mostly ones that were in the picture I added, but there are many more. - Jmabel | Talk 07:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I've now probably covered more than half of them, but we are still far from complete. - Jmabel | Talk 08:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

About 25 that I'm aware of left to go. I've been adding a lot more information about these than we have on current schools. Eventually, we'll probably want to add comparable info on current schools. I'm wondering if we should plan on splitting up this page, because it's getting big and will get bigger. Also, if anyone has ideas for a more uniform treatment of schools, and of which schools deserve individual articles, I'd be glad to discuss. - Jmabel | Talk 08:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I've now added those former schools of which I am aware. Previous comments still apply. - Jmabel | Talk 06:03, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Frank B. Cooper

Frank B. Cooper deserves an article of his own. The book by Richard C. Berner that I cited to mention him has quite a bit of useful, relevant material. - Jmabel | Talk 02:06, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
