10.14.15 by msedblog OXFORD EAGLE letter: We need to pass 42 for our children The Oxford Eagle newspaper, in Oxford, Miss. on Friday, May 2, 2014, has new owners. On Nov. 3 we will vote on Initiative 42, a proposed amendment to the state constitution to bring it into line with roughly 45 other states and to provide that every child has a fundamental right to an adequate and efficient education. This amendment is necessary due to the Legislature’s failure, for 16 of the past 18 years, to follow its own law to fund our schools adequately.
