Mississippi, complaining gets us nowhere

I once heard someone say that complaining gets you nowhere.
If you do not like something, then work to change it, complaining is not working. Placing blame is not working.
Advocating, pushing and researching are working for change.
One thing that draws a lot of complaints but little action is Mississippi’s public education system. Our results and scores show the failure of the system year after year.
Our 2011 graduates scored an average 18.7 composite on the ACT, placing us last in the nation and almost a full point behind 49th.

BJ Barr, who ran against and lost to Evan Kirkham for Associated Student Body attorney general, is challenging last week’s ASB elections.

Barr’s appeal deals with the section of the ASB constitution that only allows students at the Oxford campus to vote in the elections. Since placing the elections online, however, the DeSoto and Tupelo satellite campuses have been able to vote in the election since My OleMiss does not distinguish between the three campuses when it comes to elections.
