The director of a French magazine says his publication is using freedom ofexpression to comment on the news in a satirical way. And the news that themagazine is commenting on involves the Islamic religion, its prophet Muhammadand an anti-Islam film that led violent protests last week. The French publicationis a humor magazine, it has a reputation for being a little outrageous2, andit`s using cartoons to comment on the last week`s news. The director says,"The Humorous" aimed at the film, which he calls grotesque3. But thecartoons include drawings of a figure who resembles the Prophet Muhammad, andfor many Muslims any picture of Muhammad is very offensive, in some Arabcountries it would be illegal. It`s not in France. As of Wednesday, thereweren`t any reports of violence related to the cartoons, but France wasplanning to close its embassies in some nations later in the week just in case.The journalists who work at the magazine said they are not trying to provokeanger or violence, the goal is to laugh. One French official said, he supportshis country`s freedom of press, but he also said, there is a question ofresponsibility.Teachers today`s daily discussion includes some questions onthis debate over freedom of expression.

Is this legit? Atlantis was the last space shuttle built by NASA.
 
No. Atlantis flew the final space shuttle mission, but Endeavour was the lastshuttle built by NASA.
 
The last shuttle is making its last journey this week, but not in the space.NASA ended the space shuttle program last year, and the remaining vehicles areflying off in the retirement4. Oh actually they are more like hitching5 a ride.This is Endeavour piggybacking on a 747 jet. Starting from Florida to LosAngeles where it will become a museum, the other shuttles are going to be ondisplay as well. Endeavour is making some stops, as it travels across thecountry. Yesterday it touched down in Houston. NASA says, these stops are agood chance for more people to see the shuttle and say good bye. Endeavour issaid to make its final landing in L.A. on Friday.
 
Here is something that hadn`t happened in more than a week. Chicago studentsheading in the school. Classes have been canceled since teachers went on strike,that strike was suspended on Tuesday evening, in a proposed deal between theteachers and school officials both sides got some victories.
 
This is very much seen as a bit of a give and take. But teachers overwhelminglyare telling us that they are simply relived that it is over, after seven dayson the picket6 line, they are glad to get back to the classroom, and here iswhat one teacher told us shortly after that vote came down.
 
Everybody is happy to go back to work, getwith the kids, it`s been long enough, so I think we`ve accomplished7 what wewanted to.A few people are not happy, but you know, no matter what you do,nobody is going to be completely happy, so I think we`ve done the best wecould.
