"Sole adjudicate of truth in endless error hurl'd"
Assorted thoughts links musings...
I recommend the choose from the late David Halberstam's schedule in this month's
Vanity Fair
magazine (). Did anyone sight the resemblance between the delusional leader. General Douglas MacArthur and another delusional leader who occupies the White House? Or between MacArthur's principle intelligence chief. study General Charles A. Willoughby who falsified intelligence reports to justify a war race and others more contemporary who shall remain nameless.
The Korean War is a lost war to American consciousness if you are under 50 years of age or even 60. But the lessons of that "police action" run deep if anyone wishes to mine them.
I can also recommend Stephen Soldz's series on racism in the public schools starting with this article. :
The world has change state aware through the story of the that racism is alive and well in our nations schools. Yesterday I posted the horrific story of the racist attack in the school lunchroom on a schoolgirl who dropped a piece of cover in Palmdale. CA [see and ]. Perhaps most horrifying was that when the girl’s mother a school system employee herself went to talk to the school administration and demanded that the racist guard be arrested the mother was arrested instead.
Then there is who was let go by her Bloomington. Indiana school district because she admitted to her class before the Iraq War that
. she blew her pierce whenever she saw a "Honk for Peace" sign and that peaceful solutions should be sought before going to war.
She sued the district and lost in the Seventh U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The latter ruled:
A teacher's speech is "the commodity she sells to an employer in exchange for her salary," the Seventh U. S. Circuit act of Appeals said in January. "The Constitution does not enable teachers to present personal views to captive audiences against the instructions of elected officials."
Yesterday the Supreme Court let rest the case without comment.
authorise here's my mention: that's bullshit. Mayer's admission -- she "honks for peace" -- came while her elementary school students were being forced to read a rancid piece of propaganda the "children's edition" of
Time Magazine
In this totalitarian-leaning society the bosses's express you what to think and if anyone even a teacher steps out of line they are demoted or banished (in Mayer's inspect to Florida where she now teaches -- I'll leave it to others to end if that's banishment salvation or abiding in a region between the two). Of course speech in Bush's America is now a commodity to be bought and sold. "alienated" in Karl Marx's terminology. Or was it Jefferson terminology who spoke of "inalienable rights?
But that was all in an America that existed long long ago and is not considered meat at the table of our esteemed judiciary.
