  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

    New TV Ad: Local Teachers Union Contract Reveals Proposal 2 Hurts Michigan Kids

     Protecting Michigan Taxpayers, a broad-based coalition working to educate parents and voters about the dangerous effects Proposal 2 would have on students, parents and taxpayers today released a new statewide television commercial titled "Hurts," highlighting dangerous provisions in Michigan teachers union contracts that the Michigan Education Association (MEA) says would go into effect upon passage of Proposal 2.

    "According to a leaked memo from the Michigan Education Association, the state's largest teachers union, Proposal 2 would overturn common sense state laws that help keep our kids safe at school," said Jared Rodriguez, Spokesman for Protecting Michigan Taxpayers.  "And the local teachers union contract in Bay City says that Proposal 2 would give five strikes to teachers under the influence of alcohol at school, three strikes to teachers under the influence of drugs in the classroom and two strikes to teachers caught selling drugs at school.  The MEA is right that Proposal 2 will overturn school reform laws - unfortunately it will hurt Michigan kids!"

    According to Proposal 2's own language, under the proposal Michigan parents, voters and lawmakers would be permanently prohibited from "limit(ing) the right to collectively bargain for wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment." The MEA and the teachers union contract in Bay City claim this language would overturn common sense legal restrictions that prevent teachers caught under the influence of drugs and alcohol from remaining in the classroom.

    Studies also indicate Proposal 2 would cost families at least $1.6 billion tax dollars a year.

    "Hurts" can also be viewed online at http://youtu.be/8Ke-QTNvUMY.

    Organizations from across the state are working together to defeat Proposal 2 including organizations representing school boards, school principals, school superintendents, the Michigan Sheriff's Association, small business groups, chambers of commerce and taxpayer organizations.

    Protecting Michigan Taxpayers is a watchdog organization that aims to keep Michigan moving forward by ensuring fairness for our state's taxpayers. Only by defeating Proposal 2 can the state continue to create jobs, maintain lower taxes and keep more of our sons and daughters working at home in Michigan.
