Imposing values?

Opposing values we value.

SCOTUS pretends Pride is Porn in bigot parents case.

Here the religious parents want to keep their kids in taxpayer-funded schools, while exempting them from lessons of general applicability.

The article is saying that the Trump administration wants to impose its view on everybody, without freedom of choice.  In the…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

The Scopes Monkey Trial a century on: A global mess that nobody won.

For this occasion, MST3K performed their Cliff’s Notes mash-up version of the Scopes Monkey Trial and it’s portrayal in Inherit the Wind. As with real-life, nobody really won here either but it was done with comic effect:…[Read more]

Reg,

From what I’ve read of the Aeon essay, this guy must have learned his biology from Jordan Peterson. Citing mythology and Sci-Fi and bad Roger Corman movies that didn’t even make it to MST3K and analogy and metaphor as evidence? And using the term “late-stage Capitalism” as if he knows it’s over (or even begun) or even knows what time it…[Read more]

Well now that the righty tighties are in charge, Amen, things could not be more stupid as time passes barring a merciful comet strike.

Thanks, Reg!

And then a showdown…[Read more]

Jake,

Chalk up other reasons to homeschool or set up storefront Freedom Schools, such as those of the Civil Rights Era. Secularists s really need to cure themselves of the tic against those. Sometimes, those are the only refuge from schooling in a majority irrational society. A good way to get winners of National Spelling Bees too.

Simon and Reg,

Fortunately,I’ve found that the Bicycle Boys do respect “No Solicitation” signs and don’t come out as much in hot weather, so at least there is a limit on how far these practices spread.

There was racism in my high school. Only perhaps 8 Black kids who were “shipped” in using the Metco program. Not sure how many Jews. I guess i must have been one of perhaps 20. It was bad for Jewish students and worse for Blacks.

Can’t remember any Blacks in Carlisle or Concord. Just a few Asians. The racism and elitism at that regional high…[Read more]
