Than maybe you should read the article. In it you will find out that ZERO Newsweeks were burned, because Lakewood is not really into burning books and magazines. That only color copies of the cover were burned.
But why let facts get in the way of a good attack, eh.
Yes it can be burned, or used for coffee grounds, gardens, wrap fish and in hundreds of very innovative green ways.
It is almost an "Education Issue". I quickly counted more than a dozen stories about education, schools, students, and teachers in Lakewood. That doesn't even include all of the Lakewood Public Library Events and stories, the announcements about the Lakewood Project performing on the 4th, or even the ad for CWRU (Obviously, CWRU has figured out that Lakewood is a good pond to fish in.).
This is ample evidence that Lakewood values and celebrates education, regardless of what Newsweek doesn't have to say about us.
Thanks to all of the writers and participants (Special kudos to Chuck Greanoff for his spot-on story.). We are all elevated by your efforts.

Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street.
Used to be the heart of town.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
You just gotta poke around.
