Česká svobodomyslna škola [Czech freethought school] 
In Chicago, and Cleveland, and some other places there was a lot of immigration from the Austrian Empire. For the Austrians Germanisation and Catholicism went together. Some of the more national spirited Czechs were then estranged from Catholicism, there were degrees. So they divided. Sokols had gymnasiums for athletics. Attached to the hall on Clark was a separate building in 1924. This was in the low west forties along Clark, all the other fotos were taken in Old Brooklyn Cleveland.
Y'no, the wacko woman on Pearl across from the library doesn't like Earth Day. Went to see, whether a new sign was up already. You must certainly know Republicans hate fairness, and love to game the system to their favor. They attack relentlessly. Also spelling is one of the many school subjects they do not respect. Judge O'Connor is trying to follow the law here, and Republicans demand judges to vote only their way. All branches of Ohio state government are controlled by the Republicans. They have super majorities in the legislature. All state wide executives are Republican, and have been for some time. The last redistricting they made gross gerrymandering an abstract art form. The state supreme court has three Democrats, and four Republicans. The Chief Justice, O'Connor, is the only non hyper-partisan Republican in the state involved. Several Repukes want her impeached for this offense. Twice, Ohio voters voted to not allow gerrymandering, of course Republicans are not interested in what the people want.
