The EPA estimates that one-third of U.S. schools have buildings in need of extensive repair or replacement. If your child's school was built before the 1980s it might contain asbestos in fireproofing, insulation, adhesives, cement or asbestos tile. Teachers and students should take care not to disturb any asbestos; exposure to asbestos fibers can result in mesothelioma, asbestosis and other lung diseases.

So which one of those two is DEFENDING slavery?
I actually saw an exchange preceding showing of this graphic one morning. I don’t know if the picture was shown more than just that one time. The intro to it from the guy on the couch was that he had played a trick on one of their interns, asking the intern to get some pictures of the Lincoln-Douglas debates to illustrate the story.
When the obviously bogus graphic came on the screen, I was torn between the possibility that this was a joke, following on the intro to it, or whether the whole production and on air staff really were clueless. If the latter, have they no Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln-Douglas_debates_of_1858
Reminds me of a Firesign Theatre album cover featuring Marx and Lennon:
