I know a few, yes. There have been at least 2 or 3 of my brothers here who have used it in one form or another here at GC, since it has significance for us.

Just FYI, this MysticCat is a member of the SCOTUS bar and has had quite a few cases there. I really didn't have to look up SCOTUS or POTUS.
Now please, tell us more about how the news outlets released early versions of the president's speech. Go ahead . . . embarrass yourself a little more.

DUDE THOSE KIDS WILL NOW TOTALLY VOTE FOR THE HEALTH CARE PLAN PUT OUT BY THE WHITE HOUSE!
You're one of the dumbest of all the dummies when it comes to tying cause, effect and motive together. None of this makes any sense - what the shit would a speech to kids matter in terms of convincing senators about health care reform? Are the Dems really worried about getting the vote out in 2020?
Rage, rage against the dying of a conspiracy theory. And then read a fucking book or something, kid.

Just FYI, you went up about 10000 points in coolness in my book. You have achieved two of my professional dreams (membership in the SCOTUS bar and having cases before the Court).

I know. Wow. MysticCat, did you actually argue them there?
About Channel One from last page, None of the schools that I've actually taught at show it. If my red state experience is at all representative, it may not be freaking out conservative parents because their kids aren't in the schools where it's most often shown. Can anyone find data about where it's shown and to how many students? I was surprised to learn it even still existed.

My state is a red state, and we watched it throughout middle and high school. They still do, although it is up to the teacher to decide whether they'll turn on the TV or not. Some of my teachers allowed us to watch it, while others chose not to.
I don't remember it being much about any political bias though. The one Channel One "episode" I remember was when I was in 10th grade and they reported on Aaliyah's death. I do remember watching when Maria Menounos was on Ch1.
IDK about specific stats, but Channel One does say on it's website that it's shown across 48 states & DC, to school that have at least 200 students (and they only air it to grades 6-12). And the schools must air Channel One 90% of the school days.

It's just one of those days when I know what I mean but can't clearly and concisely communicate it to others.

I don't think I've ever seen it. (I'm pretty sure I was out of high school before it was invented, but I don't think even in student teaching the school had it.)
I suspect that what happened here was that in the early days of the Georgia lottery, when they sent money to every school to invest in technology, schools didn't need Channel One as much. If you didn't have to be beholden to watching programing 90% of the time, why would you?
I wonder if only systems that really don't have money to fund replacement technology have kept up with it down here.
I never heard anything about its bias.
