  1. backfire on Texas Schools Board Rewriting US History · · Score: 1

    While the school board may be trying counteract liberal bias, what they're really doing is creating class conflict. Some people will end up with only a high school diploma and so only hear the school board's "pro-American, Christian, free enterprise" version of history. Other's will go on to university and get a different take on our nation. The result is a disconnect on how people see the country.

  2. Lock the overhead bin until that row is called on Strict Order Boarding Would Get Planes in the Sky Faster · · Score: 1

    Rather than having the gate people be more strict, what about starting with the overhead bins locked and having the flight attendants unlock them as the rows are called.

    That way, people near the front of the plane don't have an incentive to try to get on early and block the aisle. If they want to put something overhead, they'll have to wait their turn; and they know when they get there, space will be available. By making the sections smaller (say 30 as opposed to 6) you could incentivize people into behavior that is fairly close to strict row ordering.

    It could be implemented within a week and airlines could even experiment with only a few flights at first to work out the kinks.
