December 18, 2006.  In an article entitled 'Talk in Class Turns to God, Setting Off Public Debate on Rights', New York Times reporter Tina Kelley presents the many sides of the debate centering around Kearny High School's history teacher David Paszkiewicz and his student Matthew LaClair.  The article is sure to renew interest on this heated issue and bring national attention to Kearny.  The New York Times article mentions statements made in the Observer and on KearnyOnTheWeb.com.   If it was not clear before, it is time that the Kearny Board of Education members take action.  As previously stated, "Kearny residents and the rest of the nation are awaiting an appropriate proceeding to determine whether there was a violation of conduct by the teacher and/or student and the appropriate discipline (if any).

December 2, 2006.  This week marked a first in KOTW's history.  KOTW was mentioned directly in an article entitled Don't Get Sick this week in the Observer.  The article reported on the announced cut backs in Mobile Intensive Care units serving Kearny and other neighboring towns.

On November 21st, a post entitled "Paramedics closing down, news" alerted the KOTW community to the cutbacks in service.  It was apparently also the first that Kearny town officials learned of the cut backs.

November 26, 2006.  The Matthew LaClair / David Paszkiewicz story has gotten a lot of attention not only in West Hudson but throughout the nation. KOTW has experienced increased traffic as a result.

According to the Observer, Kearny High School teacher David Paszkiewicz is a "rather popular history teacher and girls' crew coach at Kearny High School." The debate over teacher David Paszkiewicz' statements has been interesting.

On the KOTW Discussion Board, many have focused not on what teacher Paszkiewicz stated but rather on how the student Mathhew LaClair obtained those statements. Some have suggested that it was improper to record the teacher. Apparently, Paszkiewicz denied he made comments such as "you belong in hell" until he was confronted with the audio tape.
