Officials at the Hunting Park campus of Community Education Partners discovered on Sunday that one of their teachers - Arnesx Honore, 32 - had had his picture published the previous Friday among those of the city's most violent fugitives. They suspended him and police arrested him on Tuesday. Officials knew he had been arrested for assault, but also knew that the charges had been dropped. They didn't know that the assault had involved a minor (a 14-year-old girl, whose daughter he apparently fathered), and that the charges were refiled July of last year.
Speaking of controversy, have you heard about the whole dust-up over the fact that an Arab company just bought another company which happens to run some operations at six American ports, including one here at Philadelphia? The company is Dubai Ports World, a state-owned business of the United Arab Emirates, which, critics point out, "was an operational and financial base for the hijackers who carried out the attacks of Sept. 11." (Although, of course, Phillyist could point out that America was technically the operational and financial base for Timothy McVeigh, the guy who carried out the Oklahoma Bombings...) Some local politicians are pretty angry about the whole thing, including Pennsylvania Representative Curt Wheldon, and Senator Rick Santorum (it's a regular Santorum-fest around here today!), who has written a strongly-worded letter to the President about it. That'll show 'em!

If you're not willing to say that, what you get is entertainment instead of art, and poor entertainment at that." Now, on with the listings!
