As we do every Friday afternoon, here's a preview of what's on tap in the weekend opinion pages of The Bee:

Saturday -- Our main editorial takes a look at a recent court decision upholding California's high school exit exam. You'll also read the fascinating opinions of four local writers on our Valley Voices page. Of course, there also will be letters to the editor right next to our editorials.

Sunday -- Our main editorial discusses the extreme doctor shortage in the San Joaquin Valley. The Vision section's cover story is a nice feature that says we should be encouraging school teachers instead of criticizing them. My column on the op/ed page says Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa should be tending to the business of his city instead of trying to take over the Los Angeles schools. Victor Davis Hanson talks about excuses for Islamist anger in his column that runs at the bottom of the Vison section cover.

There is plenty more. Check out The Bee's opinion pages and then come back to our blog and tell us what you think.
