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

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

We posted it first.

The video that MAPSA (Michigan Association of Public School Academies) put up on Youtube. The video demonstrating what the left truly believes when it comes to parenting. The video showing Debbie Squires testifying for the Michigan Elementary and Middle School Principles Association, and explaining that parents might "want the best, but don't know whats best for their children." (only modestly paraphrased)

If ever the Genie was out of the bottle, a bell was rung, that which cannot be undone was done.

It went viral. On the morning it was released, RightMichigan.com readers were the first (other than those in the house education hearing February 1st) to see how openly the left is willing to disregard the ability of parents to make choices. At least those with regard to the education of their children according to Debbie Squires who represents the MEMSPA organization. In the afternoon, the national blogs, news sources and pundits picked up the story, and only a couple of days ago, Rush Limbaugh played it on air.

The video was getting 1000's of hits daily.

Then the screens went black. (Below the fold)
