Ethics Of Language 101.
Some of you have taken issue with my "uncivil" use of language, particularly in light of the current public brouhaha over Ann Coulter's public "hate speech." Even the use of that term makes me wonder about who's definitions of words or phrases we're using to define them as "hate speech," and why any thinking Catholic or any critically-thinking American should feel constrained in their language towards those who are absolutely unrestrained in their own language towards us. It seems to me that whenever the term is used, it is always, almost definitively, used to restrain speech in one direction only, that being, any speech opposed to the "Progressive" or "Leftist" or "Immoral" position. While I fully accept and embrace the American cultural standard for obscenity in speech, I reject the whole Leftist notion of "hate" speech. I speak the same way in Church as I do at home and in any company at all; there is no difference.
In the Homo-Nazism page and elsewhere, I have used the words faggot and faggotry somewhat differently than Ann Coulter, who uses it as a synonym for wus, or sissy, and she says she is tolerant of the homosexual lifestyle. I am not. I say, homosexuality is wrong. It is abnormal, perverse and immoral, and I say so. I believe it; therefore I say it. My preferred terms for practitioners rotate between homosexual and sodomite. So long as the Left has not yet succeeded in burning the English dictionary, I intend to keep using those quite legitimate English words. I reserve the term faggot for the open, obvious, in-your-face screaming queen types, and I refer to their open public celebration of their condition as public faggotry. I see nothing particularly gay about homosexuality, and so I avoid that term, except in its older usage. I believe in being clear.
But, we are told, they can't help themselves, poor dears. We are to believe that they are born that way, and we are to believe it solely on their say-so, even as we watch them go back and forth between periods of homosexual and heterosexual activity, and get "cured" of their "condition" in huge numbers. We now have thousands of years of history of people who practiced chastity, and even whole orders who practiced complete celibacy, to compare with the history of the licentious. In all of recorded history, not one single person ever died or even got sick as a result of chastity or celibacy. The reverse cannot be said. Anyone who says that homosexuals – or anyone, really – any non-psychopathic, non-sociopath, non-criminal, sane person who is and should be free among us and not locked up somewhere – absolutely must, by his nature, accomplish sexual gratification in some manner, is lacking in that quality that was once universally recognized as simple common sense.
Anyone who says homosexuality is normal needs a course in remedial math. Anyone who says it's natural needs a course in remedial biology. Anyone who says it's healthy activity needs remedial schooling in basic, fundamental personal hygiene. Any typical American, i.e., any practicing Christian or Jew who says it's spiritually good or virtuous needs a course in remedial religion. Anyone who does not recognize homosexuality as sinful most likely doesn't recognize even the very notion of sin, and is operating from or guided by some alien ethos, that is opposed to the foundational and persisting guiding ethos of America.Saying all of this, of course, puts me at odds with the SLIMC1 , American Academia, Hollywood and the Democratic Party, all of whom love, sponsor, champion and encourage open public faggotry in America. They will resent it being put in those terms, but nevertheless, that is precisely what they do. They even seek to advance its cause in the public school system, and in the legal modification of acceptable public language. Clearly, they love it. They prove it every day.
And, of course, they are the ones who get to determine acceptable standards for ethics of language in the public square, where Christian religious expression is religiously censored.
Some of you didn't like my un-censored quotes of Democrat Party activists Marcotte and McEwan in the American National Existence article. If these ladies were proud enough of their words to put them out there in public for everyone to see in a purely Democrat venue, where this language is quite normal, who am I to become the official censor of their words in this venue, where it is quite obscene? You know, a foul mouth used to be the unmistakable sign of the semi-literate; the poor person lacking in language skills to fully or properly express his thoughts. Those days are gone; very few if any Americans fall into that category today. A filthy mouth today is almost always a reflection on the parents, family and household that produced the filthy mouth. That language was taught at home; and it was likely enhanced in academia. In all likelihood their parents and professors are all quite proud of them. While I studiously avoid all such language myself, I see no reason to not accurately quote it when it comes out of the mouths of the Leftists, where it is absolutely common language. It is mainstream for them. Except when they stand at the microphone, when they pretend to be decent.Again, this puts me at odds with the SLIMC1 , American Academia, Hollywood and the Democratic Party, all of whom love, sponsor, champion and encourage the public acceptance of such "progressive" language in America. Filthy language might be the mildest area in which Hollywood continuously "pushes the envelope" in entertainment in their quest to coarsen and vulgarize our culture. They will resent it being put in those terms, but nevertheless, that is precisely what they do. Note well how, in the Marcotte / McEwan case as in others, while they (the News) studiously asterisk-ed out the quoted filthiness of the language, they studiously ignored and even censored from all public view the intolerant, vicious attack on the religion of the majority, which they all despise. No asterisks here. Complete omission.
They even seek to censor our religion in the public school system, and in the legal modification of acceptable public language regarding what kind of people we are. They even seek absolute control over our own ability to describe ourselves in our own words. They don't want us to think of ourselves or openly describe ourselves as a Christian nation, or a Christian culture, or a Christian people. Convinced, in their own conceit, that an atheistic people would be somehow superior to a Christian people, they use our courts to legally prod us toward a collective atheism. Clearly, they despise Christianity, and the very notion that we are a Christian people. They prove it every day.
And again, of course, they are the ones who get to determine acceptable standards for ethics of language in the public square, where Christian religious expression is religiously censored.
It's the same thing with the abortion issue; those who love, champion and sponsor it despise being referred to as pro-abortion rather than pro-choice. They seek to obfuscate and blur distinctions here. The sole choice they refer to here is the choice of someone to abort someone else, and there is absolutely no other choice involved. They are pro-abortion, and I am anti-abortion, and that's just a straightforward fact. Anyone who doesn't like is just going to have to get over it.This, of course, puts me at odds with the SLIMC1 , American Academia, Hollywood and the Democratic Party, all of whom love, sponsor, champion and encourage abortion on demand. They will resent it being put in those terms, but nevertheless, that is precisely what they do. They even seek to censor or control our acceptable public language regarding the killing of human babies in the womb. And, there are the open, obfuscating related lies. Such as, "I want to make it safe and rare." Yeah, going from a thousand or less per year to millions per year overnight sure made it rare, and media-censored statistics show it not to be safe, but a downright dangerous procedure. Every pro-abortion "fact" quoted in public is a lie. Believe me, Whoopi Goldberg wasn't raped or otherwise abused all those times. All those abortions were just another birth control method to allow a lifestyle involving random copulation. Clearly, the Left loves abortion. They prove it every day.
And again, of course, they are the ones who get to determine acceptable standards for ethics of language in the public square, where Christian religious expression is religiously censored.
And, it's the same thing with my refusal to bow to Femi-Nazi social pressure to properly "feminize" or "gender-neutralize" my language. I just ain't gonna do it. So English lacks a gender-neutral pronoun. So freaking what? I'm not going to twist it into all sorts of contorted and tortured sentences just to ensure that I not insult someone who has been very carefully educated in how they should be insulted by someone who intends no insult. It's stupid. Look up the words man and men in your English dictionary and you should find among the early possibilities mankind and the human race and all human beings. Anyone who cannot tell, by the contextual usage, whether a verse containing the word man refers to a male or to all mankind needs to go somewhere where English is still properly taught, and start all over.
One of you asked, why do I use Moslem instead of Muslim; well, what can I say. I'm just old, I guess. In my formative years, when I was educated, it was Moslem, and it was Mohammed, and it was the Koran, and that's what I use. I still think of Peking rather than Beijing. For personal reasons, Ho Chi Minh City will forever be, for me, Saigon. Once upon a time, in common usage in print and verbal language, the word nigger was a neutral, normal and not pejorative word. That was then. All my life, it has been an open insult, and therefore a "bad" word. As a small boy, I once got my tongue washed with soap for using it, to the absolute glee of a little black friend. Negro was acceptable, then considered demeaning somehow and out-of-grace. Black came in during the "black and proud" years, and that's where I got stuck with it. I remember a previous time when calling someone black could get you a punch in the nose. When it moved on to African-American, something in me resisted, and I just stayed with black. I don't like any other nationality coming first in the name of any American. Some of us are black and some of us are white but all of us are Americans, regardless of heritage or ancestry or genealogy, and American comes first, not last, to me.
Bottom line, when I resolved to fight the good fight, I further resolved to speak clearly and directly on all issues and to not ever obfuscate. If you don't want your filthy language to be published back at you, then clean up your act. There is simply no good moral reason to describe something other than as it really is. Honesty demands clarity. Ethos demands sticking to your guns on important issues. Threat demands attack. Attack demands counter-attack.
Ugliness needs to be clearly seen by the glaring light of day.
To the extent that we the people live fully the Christian life, to that extent do we not need civil law to hem us in. Only when some of us violate Judeo-Christian morality do we need "outside" strong civil rules and authority to protect the rest of us. The whole, sole reason for the necessity of civil law and legislation is the fallen, sinful, human nature of man, and the presence of Satan, who now rules The World and The Worldly. Permit me to quote Paul:
When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pertaining to this life!
If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church? I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between members of the brotherhood, but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? To have lawsuits at all with one another is defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? But you yourselves wrong and defraud, and that even your own brethren. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything. – (1 Cor 6;1-12)
Things must have been pretty bad in Corinth to call out those words, and perhaps things are just as bad here and now. But note the "…And such were some of you. But you were washed…" wording, take it to heart, and know that no one is beyond redemption. The struggle is always between the Spirit and the Flesh, which is to say, between our immortal souls and the eternal reward that waits, and The World, with all its temporary kingdoms and riches and pleasures. All of those worldly temptations and pleasures are addictive and enslaving. But Jesus Christ can set anyone free from anything.
To the extent that you feed your spiritual side, you gain strength over temptation. To the extent that you feed your physical side, you lose sight of the Kingdom, and you become spiritually weak, and you become a slave to something worldly. Seek rather to become a slave to Christ, and to never be afraid to say it out loud.
Pray for America, and for the strengthening of her Judeo-Christian ethos.

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that I spell the word Moslem also, because I think that this changing of spellings can cause a historical identity confusion. If someone reads about Moslems way back when, are they the same people as current Muslims? So I do not hold with changing spellings.

Are you bothered at all by the fact that referring to Muslims as Moslems might be hurtful to them?

From: Vic Biorseth
Do you think they might be bothered by the fact that referring to us as infidels might be hurtful to us? How about the Koran calling for our conversion, or our being subjugated to the rule of Islam, or our being killed? Is sensitivity to feelings something that runs on a one-way street?
Islam, in accordance with the Koran, seeks the elimination of all other religions, the elimination of Democracy and all other forms of government, and the conversion, subjugation or death of all non-Moslems.
Do you not see that as just a tad bit insensitive to our poor little feelings?

Various unrelated topics that stirred thought and provoked writing at one time or another.
Addressing Original Intent in Law, and Original Revelation's Intent in Doctrine. "Original Intent" is the intention of the authors when any Bill was signed into law. "Revealed Truth" is God's Law.
Satanic Unreason in Modern Liberal Thought. Satanic Unreason, Unreality and Insanity rule the Left, in philosophy, theology, material science, mathematics, politics, psychology, you name it.
Can we, in our majority, even recognize the diabolical any more? Are we all so busy and so hypnotized by the world that Satan and all his evil works are the absolute farthest things from our minds?
Real Truth Always Demands Division; Evil Always Demands Unity. It's Truth v Anti-Truth; Right v Wrong; Virtue v Vice; Life v Death. Gimme that old time Division.
Proselytizing v Evangelizing: What's the difference? Is there a difference? It's a very thin line between between Proselytizing and Evangelizing, so why is the one condemned and the other commended?
American Grounding: Citizen Equality, Life, Liberty, Property. Returning to our original American grounding means returning to the sure guidance of Natural Law and to our Judaeo-Christian social moral norms and civil law.
You can't keep Islamic Assassins out if they're already in. When suicidal Jihadists and Islamic assassins are already infiltrated into the ranks, the ranks are looking for terrorists in all the wrong places.
Obama Unleashed: Doing all the destabilization he can do. Trump's win upset Obama's global plan; Obama Unleashed is laying mines and firing torpedoes and missiles behind him on his way out the door.
Induced "Black Privilege" and Racist Anti-White Anti-Americanism. How Marxist-induced "Multiculturalism" actually alienates and splits us all apart while pretending to unite us all together.

The Anti-Authoritarian Rage at Losing Their Authoritarian Power. On the Authoritarian Rage of the Global Ruling Class upon being Over-Ruled: Pure Insanity, Pure Evil, or Both?
On the Unrecognized War being waged against Human Civilization. The Unrecognized War against Culture is not merely being waged against Nations, and not merely against Nature, but against God.
Godel's Incompleteness Theorem: Mathematizing Faith in God? Finding a rational and logical explanation for Natural Human Intuition. (Things we know but cannot prove.)
Shared Divinity? Can man somehow "share" divinity with God? This "Shared Divinity" concept might be way too big for my limited intellectual capacity, but my heart is trying it on for size.
The Religion-Political Parallels in America's rise, and in her decline. Boldly speaking about the taboo subjects of religion and politics is what this DIVISIVE and INTERACTIVE website was born to do.
Another Marxist "Catholic Spring"? Yawn. So what else is new? Breaking News: A Catholic Springtime of Revolution. Well, ho hum, heavy sigh and here we go again.
Political Parties = Political Denominationalism = Diversity in Patriotism. Denominationalism varies Revealed Truth; Political Parties vary Constitutional Meaning.
Join the Catholic Resistance, and wage Guerilla warfare against Evil. Catholic Resistance to Evil means personal sacrifice. It means continually evangelizing, even when and where evangelization is not welcome.
America's Chief Mortal Enemy: ISIS? Iran? N. Korea? Russia? China? No. America's Mortal Enemy Number 1 is Comrade Obama (peace be upon him) and his whole Marxocrat Party.
Holy Hatred: Can we hate evil and still be Christian? "Do you renounce Satan, and all his evil works?" That is a yes or no question.
Has George Soros now become a Pope Maker? Elizabeth Yore (at Remnant) unveils very strong connections between top George Soros surrogates and Pope Francis.

Banishment: Could it rid America of her domestic mortal enemies? On establishing Banishment as a penalty for working to destroy Constitutional America.
Making the Kill Shot, versus Hesitation: On winning or losing the battle. Hesitation at pulling the trigger means failing to make the kill shot, and each time, it may have been your last chance.
America's Deadly Dichotomy: Christian Virtue versus Political Corruption. Culture=Religion+Politics, true enough. But self-government demands high virtue, and politics are naturally corrupting.
Rigged Primaries, Rigged Election, Rigged Coverage, Rigged Political Parties. What should we expect, with an elitist "Establishment Club" running the News, running the Parties and running all three branches of government completely outside the Constitution?
Islamic American Constitutionalists? Who love America and hate Jihad? Really? Well, that's what they say. Maybe we should just wait and see if they kill any more of us.
Our American National Identity Crisis: Who Are We? First, You Must Address Your Personal Identity Crisis: Who Are You?
Progressive Evil: Bringing on Spiritual and Cultural Death, inch by inch. All Progressives, whether Marxist Progressives or mere dupes and tools of Marxism, advance evil at the expense of good.
The Marxocrat Party Media and Crazy Bernie, who was in on the scheme. Why all the surprise? Parties ALWAYS rig elections. And I knew the Marxocrat Party Media favored Communism over America way back in 1959.
Ad Orientum: Facing East, or, facing the New Altar? Liturgical battle lines. Originally, to be Oriented meant to be facing the Orient, to the East, toward Jerusalem. Today, Mass said ad orientum means facing the Tabernacle.
Who's in Heaven? Catholics. How do we know? The Bible says so. Scripture, Tradition and consistent Church teaching down through the ages confirms it: In Heaven, there are no non-Catholics.
Trafeze: Taking WebSite Business where Uber is taking the Taxi Business. Trafeze is now up and running. It solves the "Product/Market Fit" business problem for on-line solo entrepreneurs. This is made for us.
Religious Conversation in America, socially stifled and anathematized. Other than bland platitudes, "Moments Of Silence" and "Thoughts and Prayers", politicians, journalists, celebrities and everyone in the public eye avoids religion.
Sustainable, Shlamaimable. "Sustainability" is an unsustainable argument. We don't sustain the earth, or even ourselves. The only thing unsustainable is the sustainability premise itself.
Unforgivable Sin meets the Wideness of God's Mercy. What happens when laxity in the clergy and the whole culture "accommodates" even blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?
Ruling Class Liars: Marxist ends-justify-the-means liars using Taqiyya against us. Ruling Class Liars telling the world about the "Social Justice" of Marxism and the "Religion of Peace" of Islam.
The Individual Human Dignity of Christianity versus the Collectivism of Marxism. Is Individual Human Dignity justified? Is the Individual a God-Image, or just another utilitarian droplet in the Atheistic Marxist Revolutionary Wave?
Our Anti-American Government, defending our enemies, opposing us. The Obamunist Regime and the Marxocrat Party act like Defense Attorneys for Islam, Marxism and Immorality, and like Prosecuting Attorneys of White Christian Heterosexual Men.
The Great Global Deception: "Death of a thousand cuts" applied to Civilization. The Global Deception is Machiavellian-ism applied by inches, in which the "Revolution" never quite comes, because the Target Institution destroys itself.
Bible Christians: More Biblical than Catholics? No. Not by a long shot. Bible Christians all think their "church" is Bible-based; but the Bible is Catholic-based. The Word produced the Church, and then the Church produced the Bible.
On the Mythical Conservative Movement of the Republicrat Party. Conservative Movement? What Conservative Movement? There ain't no Conservative Movement.
Catholic Resistance: Church Militant's Grass Roots Movement. We've got to start somewhere. Join the Resistance, form your local units and lets get it on.
PC Speech Control Versus the Sin of Detraction. Calumny is harming someone via a lie. Detraction is harming someone via an unnecessarily spoken truth. PC Speech Control is the absolute elimination of free speech.
So, Trump is The Man, and Cruz is out. Now what? Trump's nomination to be the Republicrat Party Candidate appears to be sealed. So what's a Cruz supporter to do?
How Infected Evangelism Itself Helps to Destroy Christian Faith. When unrepentant active sinners and Protestants alike are welcomed into the Church, who is Evangelizing whom?
On Faith, Doubt, Skepticism, Cynicism and Evil. On the Skeptic's problem with faith, the Cynic's problem with Truth, and the logical problem with Boundless, Unlimited Mercy.
On the importance of real authority in the world; does culture need authority? It always turns out that those who are most publicly opposed to all authority secretly seek to become super-authoritarian themselves.
Suffering Computer Withdrawal is like withdrawal from any other addiction. When you are suddenly stopped from computer access, terrible chemical reactions overwhelm your psyche.
Conservatism is now so divided and splintered as to be a meaningless term. When everyone in America who is not a Marxist is a Conservative, there is no such thing as Conservatism.
How Evil and Godless Marxism promotes Universal Unification with Barbarity. Obamunism and Marxocrat Partyism and One-Big-Religionism would "Bring Us All Together", in a Universal Unification, with Satan.
Civil Jihad = War by Immigration; Cultural Marxism = Revolution by Education. Civil Jihad is like Cultural Marxism: Civil Jihad is War waged by Immigration, and Cultural Marxism is Revolution waged by Education.

Come, let us sit and reason together. Jews and Christians of various stripe and spot can say to each other, 'Come, let us sit and reason together.' But we can't do that with the Moslems.
Regarding SANE works dropping NuVo: Nul Vote Initiative dies with a whimper. If you can't really present a good argument, sit down. On SANE Works dropping the NuVo Initiative: a program that works hard to SOUND pro-American while ACTING to oppose American National Existence.

Pangkor island
After a huge last meal on the mainland it was time for the ferry to Pangkor Island. While there I took a pink taxi (all the taxi's on the island are pink!) to a super chilled out hostel with both puppies and kittens living there. Pangkor is popular with the Malaysian's during the weekends, which I could notice when I arrived. Had a stroll along the beach, visited a very strange temple (seemed more like a kids fairytale land) by the sea and watched the ...

... cat dramas... A trip to the recommended jetty cafe was cut short when a cat relining on the edge of the pier slipped whilst chasing the ginger tom and edged up in the harbour below. Efforts to rescue the daft moggy only resulted in finding many paw prints along the path and then seeing her in the exact same place on our departure the next day! I really hope to return to this island and I hope it retains it's quirky little charm. Rock n all! Next stop ... Kuala ...

We spent the morning on a snorkelling/fishing trip around the island on a little private boat with a guide. In fact, we only snorkelled once just further out past our villas into the bay. There wasn't masses to see, but it was fun splashing about in the water, some tropical fish did get curious and we kept a wary distance from a carpet of spiky sea urchins ...

We got to the station in the end, our train was listed on time, but ended up an hour late, and as usual Thai time prevailed,
It was a Thai sleeper train, and it was so much better than any of the others we have used, clean sheets, pillow case, even a blanket, a curtain to shut out the lights, it was pretty good and quite comfortable

Reconstructing Fuller's Argument Against Legal Positivism
Dan Priel
York University - Osgoode Hall Law School
April 3, 2013
Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence, Vol. 26, No. 2, 2013
Osgoode CLPE Research Paper No. 16/2013
The purpose of this essay is to offer a reconstruction of Lon Fuller's critique of Hart's legal positivism. I show that contrary to the claims of Fuller's many critics, one can reconstruct from his work a clear and powerful argument against legal positivism, at least in the guise found in the work of H.L.A. Hart. The essence of the argument is that Fuller's principles of legality posit that the same considerations that count for law's excellence are relevant also for the determining what counts as law. I contrast this view with Hart's legal positivism, which acknowledged that the principles of legality are relevant for law's excellence, but considered them irrelevant for determining the question what counts as law. In contrast to Fuller's view, this view looks arbitrary, and - a point on which I focus - completely undefended. And yet, despite the many years since Fuller presented his arguments against legal positivism, this argument has not been adequately answered. I conclude that even if Fuller's arguments are answerable, they are yet to be answered.

No group was more appalled by Donald Trump's daily bullying of opponents and critics than Democrats. While scads of Independents and Republicans were troubled and even spoke out about Trump's cruelty-laden rhetoric, Democrats were essentially united in their conviction that Donald Trump was evil incarnate. And had no chance of winning.
Then he won.
Now, the very same people who rightfully couldn't abide the bullying have taken to using a much-watered-down version of the same tactic in the election's aftermath—publicly shaming anyone in their own party who even considers working for the Trump administration.
Democrats for Education Reform is an organization I have always respected and admired. The same goes for their CEO, Shavar Jeffries. He is a bold champion for kids even when it means standing up to the most powerful and vocal members of his own party. I tip my hat to him and to the work his organization is trying to do. God knows he's got an uphill climb in a party in which union money and influence are unmatched.
But Jeffries's recent official statement on behalf of DFER, in my view, resorted to shaming any Democrat who would consider accepting the appointment of...

As described in our prior post, iCivics Drafting Board is an online essay-building tool for teachers seeking to help their pupils learn to write argumentative essays while exposing them to core civics and social-studies content. As with any online resource, however, it has both strengths and shortcomings.
What are iCivics Drafting Board's greatest strengths?
Drafting Board is a unique online resource for improving students' core literacy skills—namely, teaching them how to construct effective argumentative essays that are supported by evidence and reasoning. A major strength is its clear and simple breakdown of the writing process. The site's use of user-friendly "game-like" graphics and instructions helps students at all levels to formulate ideas, organize arguments, and defend conclusions, while making the multistep writing process interactive and approachable (for example, text is supported through a glossary of potentially unfamiliar terms, such as "candidate," "campaigns," and "special interest groups"). Such embedded supports may be especially helpful for struggling students who are intimidated by long essays. Differentiating the level of...
Editor's note: This article is part of the series The Right Tool for the Job: Improving Reading and Writing in the Classroom, which provides in-depth reviews of promising digital tools for English language arts classrooms.
We are keenly aware of the challenge in encouraging teachers to work on writing instruction in subject areas other than English language arts (after all, one of us is curriculum director for a midsized K–12 school district). First, teachers need to appreciate that writing well is essential to the study of any subject. Then we must help teachers recognize that their pupils need strategies for learning how to write well within specific subject areas. Absent such strategies, students may be assigned writing yet not know how to get better at it.
Fortunately, tools such as iCivics Drafting Board can help with writing instruction across subjects, particularly when it comes to the important "argumentative essay." If you teach social studies at the secondary level, we find Drafting Board well worth a look.
What is iCivics Drafting Board?
Founded by retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to enhance civics education across the nation, iCivics is a website that has grown from...
This week, the U.S. Department of Education released the final version of regulations to implement the Every Student Succeeds Act's accountability provisions. It incorporates feedback the agency received on its earlier draft, and reveals a number of changes. One of these is particularly praiseworthy: States can now create accountability systems that measure student achievement at multiple levels—not just "proficient"—using a performance index.
Despite the good intentions of No Child Left Behind, which ESSA replaced a year ago, it erred by encouraging states to focus almost exclusively on helping low-performing students achieve proficiency and graduate from high school. Consequently, many schools ignored pupils who would easily pass state reading and math tests and earn diplomas regardless of what happened in the classroom—a particularly pernicious problem for high-achieving poor and minority children, whose schools generally serve many struggling students. This may be why the United States has seen significant achievement growth and improved graduation rates for its lowest performers over the last twenty years but lesser gains for its top students.
The Every Student Succeeds Act requires the use of an academic achievement indicator that "measures proficiency on the statewide assessments in reading/language arts and mathematics." There are, however,...
From the latest issue of the journal Economics in Education Review comes a fascinating paper in which author Metin Akyol creates mathematical models that simulate the effects of private school vouchers on the overall education system. It is not a study of an actual voucher program, but instead a thought experiment meant to test whether both universal and targeted voucher programs can increase the efficiency of the education system as a whole. As strange as this may seem to lay readers, there is in fact a long history of such econometric analyses—and their findings are often worthy of consideration.
Akyol's complex model can't be fully explained in this short review, but some features are worth noting. It incorporates the findings of empirical voucher studies to increase its reliability. It simplifies the real world in an effort to find the signal in the noise. Every household therefore has only one child, and the hypothetical school district has neither magnet schools nor charters. And one of its defining assumptions is that more efficient public school spending is an effective proxy for increased educational quality. In other words, it presumes that the money saved by greater efficiency can be reinvested in...
A new analysis conducted by a research team at Duke University examines the effects of two North Carolina early-childhood programs on students' educational outcomes in elementary school.
The first, Smart Start (SS), is a state-funded early-childcare program focused on improving academic, social, and health outcomes from birth to age four. It's open to all children in the state but, in practice, targets disadvantaged ones. The second, More at Four (MAF), is North Carolina's state-funded pre-K program for at-risk four-year-olds, and aims to improve Kindergarten readiness.
Researchers analyzed state records and school enrollment data from North Carolina's Education Research Data Center to estimate the impact of state funding for these programs on student outcomes through the end of elementary school (based on funding per county). Their sample was all children who attended a public school in the state between 1995 and 2012—really impressive in size. They also used a regression analysis and controlled for variables such as race, mother's level of education, and prior test scores.
Outcomes of interest were math and reading scores based on end-of-grade standardized tests, special-education placements, and grade retention. Key questions were whether the program effects were positive, and whether they persisted or faded out by...
A year ago I made an informal study of the mission statements of the one hundred largest school systems in the United States. I was curious to see whether the public purpose of public education—preparing children for citizenship and self-government—is top of mind when those who run those systems ask themselves, "What exactly is our purpose here?"
Unsurprisingly, it's not. About 60 percent of those big districts, collectively responsible for more than eleven million children, made no mention whatsoever of civics or citizenship. But it got a lot worse: The words "America" and "American" appeared zero times in one hundred school mission statements. Neither did "patriotic" or "patriotism." However, "global" appears in the statements of twenty-eight districts—usually in phrases like "global society," "global economy" or "global citizens." What are we to make of that?
The public mission of education in America's schools (as distinct from the private and personal ends of college and career readiness) seems suddenly relevant. Writing in The Atlantic, Rick Kahlenberg asks whether the election of Donald Trump represents a "Sputnik moment" for civic education, forcing us to confront how badly we have failed "at what the nation's founders saw as education's most basic purpose,"...
By the time I was running down Forty-Sixth Street to the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City this past Friday night, I'd been consuming all things "Hamilton" for months.
I had the book. I'd watched every performance, documentary and interview available online. I'd shouted "LAFAYETTE" at least weekly while listening to the soundtrack in my office. I was so excited that I signed my away message A-Dot Schwenk that day.
But when I saw the block-long line for a bag check, an ambulance, a couple of SUVs and an armored truck (an easy-enough-to-ID motorcade for a D.C. resident), I knew that I was in for a particularly unique experience.
The lobby of the theater was jammed with people and rumors; by the time I'd grabbed a drink and a snack, I knew beyond a doubt that Vice President-elect Mike Pence was also in the house.
The elephant in the room
There's not much that prepares you for playing a small part in one of the strangest, most made-for-Twitter controversies of 2016.
My friend and I quickly agreed that we hoped Pence, with his alarmingly anachronistic record on basic social policies, was being open-minded and was there...
Back in September, with the presidential election and Freddie Gray's death as backdrops, my sister organization MarylandCAN hosted 50CAN's annual summit in Baltimore, which included a dinner at the church of one of its board members. The city's Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood, where Gray lived and where I grew up many years ago, had been on my mind a lot during the days leading up to the trip, and I felt distant as we boarded the bus and started our ride to the church from downtown.
Baltimore is a distinct city, and it is a deeply familiar place if you have lived there. But as the bus turned onto Calhoun Street, I realized that it was familiar not because we were driving through Baltimore but because we were driving through my old neighborhood. Down the very streets I used to walk. On one side, there was the staccato of boarded-up row houses and the occasional stoop with small kids playing. On the other, the first school I attended; then the corner where I rode my bike. And, just out of sight, the little red house of my childhood—now an empty and collapsing husk.
I mentioned this, quietly, to...
Reading the tea leaves of presidential appointments is always a fun spectator sport in the swamp that is Washington, DC, but more so this year, with a President-Elect whose campaign was light on policy details, and especially on education, where Donald Trump uttered hardly more than a slogan or two.
So—after a well-earned and much-deserved hearty congratulations to her—let the speed-reading begin, now that Betsy DeVos has accepted the position as Trump's Secretary of Education.
One thing seems clear from this pick: Trump is serious about doing something on school choice. That's been DeVos's passion for years, most recently in her role as Chairman of the American Federation for Children. But that won't make Republican lawmakers as happy as you might think, because of the GOP's longstanding internal conflict between pursuing reform from Washington and abiding by its federalist, small-government principles. No less a school choice fan than Cato's Neal McCluskey wrote just yesterday that "the feds have no constitutional authority to promote school choice. Nor should we want them to."
I suspect Trump will also come to appreciate DeVos's political savvy—something that comes in handy for all cabinet secretaries. She was one of the first people in ed-reform...

Summary of research interests & projects
I am a biologist who specializes in investigating questions about behavioral ecology, especially those that increase our understanding of animal social interactions. I use a combination of observational, experimental, computational and theoretical techniques to determine how the behavior of individuals leads to the formation of group-level social structures.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Santa Fe Institute, where I am studying the evolution of animal sociality. My goal is to use rigorous comparative methods and an evolutionary perspective to discover ways in which the extreme sociality of some species emerged, through investigating what individuals understand about their social worlds and the strategies individuals use to balance the costs and benefits of social living.
Research Interests
Evolution of social structure and complex sociality, social network analysis, animal cognition, temporal dynamics of network structure, dominance hierarchies, social learning, fission-fusion dynamics.
Research Goals
Determine how and why animals structure social relationships, detect how feedback between interactions among individuals and emergent collective dynamics shape social behavior, and evaluate patterns in the evolution of social knowledge across species.

Smartphone Maker ZTE to Face Parts Export Restrictions From U.S.
The restrictions would mean that ZTE would have a tougher time getting needed American parts or equipment due to its dealings with Iran.
Chinese smartphone and telecom equipment maker ZTE, which allegedly violated U.S. laws by shipping parts from U.S. technology companies to Iran in recent years, is slated to be hit with export restrictions by the U.S. Commerce Department as a punishment. The pending export restrictions will "make it difficult for the company to acquire U.S. products by requiring ZTE's suppliers to apply for an export license before shipping any American-made equipment or parts to ZTE," according to a March 6 article by Reuters. "The restrictions will take effect Tuesday, Reuters has learned, and apply to any company worldwide that wants to ship American-made products to ZTE Corp in China. Those companies are not the target of the export curbs on ZTE." ZTE can appeal the action, which will certainly affect its business, the story reported. In a statement on its Website, ZTE said it is "fully committed to compliance with the laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. ZTE has been cooperating, will continue to cooperate and communicate with all U.S. agencies as required. The company is working expeditiously towards resolution of this issue."
In a separate statement to Reuters, ZTE said it is "highly concerned about recent media reports relating to a U.S. Department of Commerce investigation" and that it has been "working with associated U.S. government departments on investigations since 2012" to resolve the issues.

LONG BEACH - The Long Beach State track & field team will send its multi-eventers to the California Relays Decathlon-Heptathlon, March 14-15, while the rest of the 49ers travel to San Diego to compete in the Aztec Invitational on Saturday, March 17.
The California Relays Decathlon-Heptathlon is set to run on Wednesday and Thursday. Start time for both days is 10 a.m. at Cerritos College in Norwalk.
The 49ers will compete in the Aztec Invitational on Saturday. The track events begin at 8:30 a.m. with the women's steeplechase, while the field events get underway at 9 a.m. with the women's javelin. The men's 4x400 relay is the last event scheduled with a 5:10 p.m. start time.
Matt Maldonado set a new standard at Long Beach State as he became the first 49er in program history to run a sub-four indoor mile at the MPSF Championships on Feb. 25. The Modesto, Calif., native claimed the conference title with a lifetime-best 3:59.08. That mark qualified Maldonado for the NCAA Indoor Championships where he finished 12th overall to earn second-team All-America honors.
Katrina Graves-Johnson notched her NCAA Indoor qualifying mark in the high jump at the Husky Classic on Feb. 11. Graves-Johnson tied a 12-year old school record when she cleared a lifetime-best 5-11.50. The Monrovia, Calif., native went on to tie for 16th at the national meet to earn honorable mention All-America recognition.
Long Beach State sent a small contingent of field athletes and distance runners to the Ben Brown Invitational in Fullerton last weekend. Shari Harris led the throwers with a lifetime-best 173-00 in the hammer, which ranks her third in school history. Jacob Fraser was the men's top finisher in sixth place with a distance of 175-01.
On the track, Rosa Del Toro won the women's 5000m, which featured a field of 94 competitors. Del Toro crossed the finish line in a personal-record 16:53.23, moving her up to No. 4 on LBSU's all-time list.
Ben Woodruff was named the Big West Men's Field Athlete of the Week on March 6, after a stellar performance in the 49ers' outdoor season opener. Woodruff won the javelin at the Beach Classic with a personal-record 235-04. He topped his previous lifetime best by 14 feet and was just two feet shy of the school and conference record. The reigning Big West champion threw an Olympic Trials "B" standard and enters the weekend ranked second in all of NCAA Division I.
In addition to Maldonado and Graves-Johnson, LBSU established seven other school records over the course of the 2012 indoor season. Koree Hines ran the program's fastest 60-meter hurdle time at 8.09 seconds. On the women's side, Jessica Barnard broke an 11-year old 49er record in the 800m, crossing the finish line in 2:10.40 at the MPSF Championships. Kristen Kiefer also totaled an LBSU-best 3,585 points in the pentathlon.
Phylicia Johnson bettered her own school record in the 60-meter hurdles (8.46). Rosa Del Toro registered a program-best 4:50.75 in the mile run and 9:34.81 in the 3000m. She was also a member of the record-setting distance medley relay team (11:48.81), that included Chelsea Hairanian, Catherine Martinez and Jessica Barnard.
Long Beach State will send a group of hammer throwers to the USC Trojan Invitational on Friday, March 23, while it also makes its way to the UC Irvine Spring Break Invite on Saturday, March 24.
