At this time of celebration of academics and classroom accomplishment (at some schools), we see some unfortunate news from Providence, Rhode Island. School officials there have cancelled Honors Night, lest some students be offended by the "exclusive" nature of the event:<br>

Note that celebration of athletics, however, will still take place.<br>

What a slap in the face of the diligent, hard-working, gifted student.<br>
