Recently I have had two different employees of my district approach me
about my magazine purchases, asking why I only purchase "liberal"
magazines and no "conservative" magazines.  The librarian before me
subscribed to "The National Review",  "The Weekly Standard" and "The
American Spectator".  I cut these from my budget because 
1.) The students never picked one up.  
2.) Our students have access to databases that include these periodicals
(money issue).  

I DO currently subscribe to "Time" and "Newsweek", which have been
described to me as "liberal".  Am I totally clueless here?  Are "Time"
and "Newsweek" really that liberal that I should look to balance my
magazine collection with conservative magazine titles?

Please respond to me off list.  I don't want this to turn into a
political debate.  I just want to get a feel for how others out there
handle balancing political views in their High School collection.

Thanks so much and have a great weekend!
