MORRIS: Palladium spotlights a Carmel all can be proud of
As the debut of the Palladium in Carmel has taken center stage, I have been reflecting on the amazing ascent of what used to be a sleepy town.
VAUGHN: Restore civility with the Fairness Doctrine
Although the Fairness Doctrine would not stop politicians and political commentators from using violent imagery and hate speech designed not to inform but to incite, it would guarantee that opposing views be heard.

I compare the attack ads to gossip. Everybody claims to ignore them and abhor them, but they grasp the messages sent and repeat them.
BOEHM: Put top officials in charge of lower offices

Evaluations should be based on “clear standards of instructional excellence that prioritize student learning.”

PARKER: Democrats will sweep out weak GOP office holders
I believe 2012 will usher in a cadre of strong Democratic candidates who will campaign on the solid, reasonable decision-making that took a country careening off the rails and put it squarely back on track.
TENBARGE: Politicians wanting ‘magis,’ step forward
The next governor must continue on the path toward more reform, and at the center of this reform should be my generation.
BONIFIELD: Finding Mr. Watson amid education reform
If House and Senate Republicans truly believe they can identify which teachers should go and which deserve rewards, let them write legislation that does it.
EARLY: Parties should go back to conventions
You can buy name ID (it’s expensive), but no one has figured out how to buy elected delegates.
BROOKS: ‘Tiger Mother’ Amy Chua is really a wimp
I believe she’s coddling her children. She’s protecting them from the most intellectually demanding activities because she doesn’t understand what’s cognitively difficult and what isn’t.
COLLINS: Michelle Bachmann’s single-mindedness
It’s not everybody who switches political parties over a historical novel, but Bachmann’s vision of the past is the core to her ideology.
HERBERT: Raising false alarms about Social Security
The folks who want to raise the retirement age and hack away at benefits for ordinary working Americans are inevitably those who have not the least worry about their own retirement.
