|Ali is online now
Unfortunately his twitter account is only reposting his official Facebook Page's official statement online , he does not rant on twitter like his Israeli counterpart Avichay Adraee.
I think many girls from his fan club will like see the personal photos of Ali like his birthday's photos just like Avichay's " The poor Israeli guy shared his 30th birthday photos and all Egyptian Facebookers wished him a true happy fucking birthday literality"
Military secrets agent man as the later always likes to brag that his news are more correct and faster than Avichay's. I am waiting and interested in a military cat fight between Ali and Avichay , I mean official spokespersons fight on twitter !!
Ok speaking seriously , this is not enough to communicate with the people. First of all we need a true website for the army not Facebook Pages for God sake , the Lebanese army got a better official website than our Egyptian armed forces' official website that has not been updated for years now !!
Colonel Ahmed Ali should speak to the public through that twitter account for real and if you want my opinion as veteran social media user, the Egyptian armed forces should have an English twitter account too.

June 16, 2016
New York New York is a helluva of town. While Day 2 goings on are being written up, let's hear from the one and only RAY ECKE, PR guru extraordinaire, who had a super Tuesday at PROMAX NYC.
Day one of PromaxBDA always reminds me of the first day of college: people shuffling in with luggage and laptops, long lines to register, reconnected with friends they haven't seen in months, and of course some looking confused and overwhelmed. The only ones missing are tearful parents waving goodbyes…
Kicking off the PromaxBDA 2016 was the well attended Leader Institute session "May-December (and January-July) Relationships: Finding Common Ground Through Intergenerational Dynamics, hosted by office culture expert Jocelyn Greenky, which focused best practices for working in an office with Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, Gen Z'ers and Millennials. After the session I chatted with Alberto Scirocco, Creative Director of the Columbus, OH-based design/animation studio Leftchannel and his new Executive Producer Andrew Kobliska; spotted Greenky lunching with Andy Goldman, Chief Strategy Officer, TVTibi and Carolyn Bernstein, Head of sales and Marketing at zap2it (a Tribune Media company)…
From there is was off to find our inner nerd at Keynote: Nerds Rising with filmmaker/podcaster Kevin Smith and Andy Signore of Screen Junkies followed by a surpassingly salient conversation about politics and political coverage political consultant James Caraville, radio host Hugh Hewitt, veteran news producer Rick Kaplan, hosted by Katie Couric.
In between I had a chance to check out the latest guitars being given away by the folks at Stephen Arnold Music. Hanging around the veteran sonic branding experts guitar display was the company's sales mavericks Noelle Alanis and Tinley Bone as well as Stephen himself, looking very much like he'd love to play the four guitars they're giving away, which are beautiful recreations of classic guitars used by The Beatles, including a Hofner violin bass guitar.
Day one ended with a conversation with Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient John Miller, CMO of NBC Olympics — a class act and someone largely responsible for PromaxBDA becoming they must-attend event for everyone in the creative arts industry, followed by an excellent bash at South Street Seaport.
Day 2 looks was equally promising…Lets hope everyone find their classrooms easily.
Wonderful PR man DAN HARARY pointed out my spelling is not all that great, so for those who understand the beauty of a well-spelled name, let's try this one again….LEILA AMIRSADEGHI of Eclipse.

Cognitive scientist Dan Willingham has a helpful column on the WaPo's "Answer Sheet" blog. In it, he notes that DC Public Schools advises its employees to teach to students' "diverse learning styles" (e.g. "auditory learners," "visual learners," etc.) despite the fact that research shows these categories are pedagogically meaningless.
But what really grabbed my attention was this comment: "a misunderstanding of a pretty basic issue of cognition is a mistake that one does not expect from a major school system. It indicates that the people running the show at DCPS are getting bad advice about the science on which to base policy."
As cognitive scientists have been collecting and analyzing evidence on "learning styles" for generations, social scientists and education historians been doing the same for school systems. What these latter groups find is that it is perfectly normal for public school districts to be unaware of or even indifferent to relevant research and to make major pedagogical errors as a result. Furthermore, there is no evidence that large districts are any better at avoiding these pitfalls than smaller ones. If anything, the reverse is true.
Not only are such errors to be expected of public school systems, we can actually say why that is the case with a good degree of confidence: public schooling lacks the freedoms and incentives that, in other fields, both allow and encourage institutions to acquire and effectively exploit expert knowledge.
Districts such as Washington DC can persist year after year with abysmal test scores, abysmal graduation rates, and astronomical costs. That is because they have a monopoly on a vast trove of government k-12 spending. In the free enterprise system, behavior like that usually results in the failure of a business and its disappearance from the marketplace. So, in the free enterprise sector, it is indeed rare to see large institutions behaving in such a dysfunctional manner, because it would be difficult if not impossible for them to grow that big in the first place. Long before they could scale up on that level, they would lose their customers to more efficient, higher quality competitors.
So if we want to see the adoption and effective implementation of the best research become the norm in education, we have to organize schooling the same way we organize other fields: as a parent-driven competitive marketplace.

UPDATED: Fox & Friends Falsely Portray WI Protesters As "Violent"
Fox & Friends used a video of Wisconsin protesters confronting a GOP state senator to attempt to portray the protesters as a "violent" "mob", while also advancing the falsehood that Gov. Walker "campaigned on" ending collective bargaining. In fact, the video shows no evidence that violence occurred during the incident, prompting the photographer who shot the video to slam Fox's coverage as "a genuinely dangerous narrative that Fox News is helping to create."*
Fox & Friends Falsely Claims "Violent" WI Protesters "Attack[ed]" Grothman
Kilmeade: Protesters Got "Restless And, Dare I Say, Violent." On the March 3 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade introduced a segment on a Republican Wisconsin lawmaker, Sen. Glenn Grothman, being heckled by a chanting crowd of protesters by falsely claiming the protesters were "getting restless and, dare I say, violent." Co-host Steve Doocy claimed that, "If you put yourself in [Grothman's] shoes...it's absolutely scary." Doocy later claimed, "When you look at that and all the incivility there, you realize that to these people, elections have no consequence, mean nothing." During the segment, the on-screen graphics repeatedly referred to the "angry" protesters as "violent" or "attack[ing]" Grothman. From Fox & Friends:
[Fox News, Fox & Friends, 03/03/11]
Kilmeade: "A Mob Of Protesters Ambush A Republican State Senator In Wisconsin." Teasing an upcoming segment with Grothman, Kilmeade claimed "a mob of protesters ambush[ed]" Grothman "who wants to go to work." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 03/03/11]
Kilmeade Again Claims Grothman Was "Ambushed By A Mob Of Protesters." Later in the show, Kilmeade again teased Grothman's segment by claiming he was "ambushed by a mob of protesters." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 03/03/11]
Doocy, Grothman Continue To Portray Protesters As Violent. Later on Fox & Friends, Doocy introduced a segment with Grothman by claiming he was "chased by a mob of protesters outside the capitol building." Doocy first asked Grothman, "Where was your security?" and later, "Were you scared?" Later in the segment, Doocy claimed, "There is a double standard. If Republicans surrounded a democrat lawmaker and did stuff like this, do you think it would be a big story?" Doocy ended the interview by asking Grothman if he is "going to have security if [he] need[s] it" and telling Grothman to "stay safe." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 03/03/11]
In Fact, There Is No Evidence Of Violence On The Video
Twelve-Minute Long Video Shows No Violence Occurred. The video, which was shot by Wisconsin area photographer Phil Ejercito, show that Grothman was heckled by protesters, but no violence occurred. In fact, at one point during the video, a protester can be heard to shout "don't touch him" and at another, the protesters chanted "peace" and "peaceful." [YouTube, 03/01/11 [1]]
Grothman Himself Claimed "He Didn't Think He Was Ever In Any Real Danger." The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that, Grothman "told the [Cap Times] he didn't think he was ever in any real danger." From the Journal Sentinel:
Grothman downplayed the situation and told the paper he didn't think he was ever in any real danger.
"I really think if I had had to, I could have walked through the crowd and it would have been okay," he told the Cap Times. "They're loud, they'll give you the finger, and they yell at you, but I really think deep down inside they're just mostly college kids having fun, just like they're having fun sleeping with their girfriends on air mattresses. That's the guts of that crowd." [Journal Sentinel, 03/02/11 [2]]
Grothman Called Protesters "Good People" And Noted That He Was Not Scared. During his interview on Fox & Friends, Doocy asked Grothman if he was scared by the protesters. Grothman responded "Not really, because I think most people are basically good people. I mean, they've been running around the capitol for over a week now, chanting, blowing their horns, pounding their drums." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 03/03/11
Photographer Slams Fox's Coverage As "Establish[ing] A Fictional Narrative"
Photographer Phil Ejercito: I condemn the use of my work to distort the truth about the spirited but non-violent protests here in Madison. In a statement to Media Matters, Phil Ejercito, the local photographer who shot the footage of Sen. Grothman being heckled by the crowd, said he "condemn[ed] the use of my work to distort the truth about the spirited but non-violent protests here in Madison," calling it a "a genuinely dangerous narrative that Fox News is helping to create." From Ejercito's statement to Media Matters:
It sickens me to see the truth so willfully distorted. In deciding to release this video, I considered how it would be used, but I (perhaps naively) believed that the facts in the video would speak for itself - the people of Wisconsin are angry, Senator Grothman got a well-deserved ribbing, the Walker administration's lockdown of the Capitol is misguided, and Representative Hulsey acted honorably. It is simply astounding that the same faction of the right-wing that would claim that torture in Abu Ghraib was "fraternity hazing" would equate heckling as a "violent attack."
Let there be no ambiguity: I condemn the use of my work to distort the truth about the spirited but non-violent protests here in Madison. I believe that this is a genuinely dangerous narrative that Fox News is helping to create... I am deeply disturbed to consider that my work is being misused to establish a fictional narrative of violence by the working families of Wisconsin, and I encourage people to watch the entire clip on YouTube for themselves to understand the full context and decide for themselves what truthfully took place. [Media Matters, 03/04/11 [3]]
Doocy Falsely Claims Walker "Ran On The Platform That He Was Going To Address Collective Bargaining"
Doocy: "The Governor Ran On The Platform That He Was Going To Address Collective Bargaining." On Fox & Friends, Doocy claimed that "to [the Wisconsin protesters], elections have no consequence. Mean nothing. Keep in mind, in that state, the governor ran on the platform that he was going to address collective bargaining and all the other stuff and that's what he did. And yet, look at what's happening there right now." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 03/03/11]
Doocy Again Falsely Claims Walker "Made It Very Clear" That Collective Bargaining Was "One Of the Things He Was Going To Address." Later on Fox & Friends, during an interview with Grothman, Doocy claimed that "all these people with the signs, the horns, the whistles, apparently they weren't paying attention to the fact that there was an election this past November and the message in the fact that Scott Walker became the governor, he had made it very clear, this is one of the things he was going to address. Collective bargaining. And the unions." [Fox News,Fox & Friends, 03/03/11]
In Fact, Walker Did Not Campaign On Ending Collective Bargaining
PolitiFact: Walker Did Not Campaign On Ending Collective Bargaining. On February 22, PolitiFact Wisconsin gave a "false" rating to Walker's claim that he campaigned on his budget proposals, including curtailing collective bargaining:
In the turbulent wake of his controversial plan to sharply curtail collective bargaining rights, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has faced criticism that he gave no warning of such a dramatic plan during the long 2010 governor's race.
Walker has forcefully challenged that contention, most bluntly at a Feb. 21, 2011 news conference. A reporter asked if the move to limit union power was payback for pro-union moves made by Democrats in the past.
"It's not a tit for tat," Walker responded. "The simple matter is I campaigned on this all throughout the election. Anybody who says they are shocked on this has been asleep for the past two years."
Let's sum up our research.
Walker contends he clearly "campaigned on" his union bargaining plan.
But Walker, who offered many specific proposals during the campaign, did not go public with even the bare-bones of his multi-faceted plans to sharply curb collective bargaining rights. He could not point to any statements where he did. We could find none either.
While Walker often talked about employees paying more for pensions and health care, in his budget-repair bill he connected it to collective bargaining changes that were far different from his campaign rhetoric in terms of how far his plan goes and the way it would be accomplished.
We rate his statement False. [PolitiFact Wisconsin, 2/22/11 [4]]

JaMarcus Russell's six-year, $68 million contract with the Oakland Raiders often has been cited as the impetus behind NFL owners' insistence on a rookie salary scale in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement.
Although the Raiders ended up paying Russell $36.4 million of the possible $68 million, the quarterback bust still was owed $3 million at the time of his release. League sources told the San Francisco Chronicle on Tuesday the Raiders will pay Russell close to that amount in a settlement over the disputed contract.
The Raiders originally filed a grievance seeking repayment of $9.55 million, leading Russell to counter with a $9 million grievance of his own. A settlement recently was reached just as the parties were set to take the matter to court.
Two years after selling his $2.4 million Bay Area mansion to avoid foreclosure, Russell certainly will welcome the second windfall of his aborted NFL career.

The first starter in the last training run for the men's Olympic downhill, Rok Perko of Slovenia, crashed Saturday, leaving blood on his face and in the snow.
Two spots later, Brice Roger of France fell and seriously injured his right knee, tearing ligaments and breaking a bone, coach Patrice Morisod said.
"There was no problem with the course. It's a mistake and that is how it happens sometimes," Morisod said.
Guillermo Fayed will replace Roger for France in Sunday's race.
Slovenia's Alpine director, Dusan Blazic, said Perko was taken by car to the athletes village for medical tests.
"Everything is hurting now, but the main problem now is the face and nose," Blazic said. "It looks like he might have broken nose. I doubt he'll race tomorrow."
Perko landed awkwardly, with his skis splayed, coming off a little jump about 1½ minutes into his session, a day before the first Alpine medal race of the Sochi Games. After a few minutes, he got up and walked away.
When Perko fell, his skis detached from his boots and went flying. He slid down the hill, then hunched on his knees and leaned forward, his head resting on his gloves.
The next starter, Marco Sullivan of the United States, also had problems, but felt fortunate to stay upright and ski to the finish.
"I just let my mind lapse for a second, and all of a sudden (my) skis hit together," Sullivan said, describing what happened as "a close call."
In all, 10 of 55 starters Saturday failed to finish.

Never will a client hug me for handing in a great report, which is a good thing. But the appreciation, gratitude and hugs I receive after cooking a full dinner for friends or family—that's one of the main reasons why I love it as much as I do.
Food plays an important role in my life. Making lasting memories with friends or family usually involves food. I started cooking as a young girl—there are pictures of me as a 3-year-old on a kitchen chair making a "vlaflip," a Dutch dessert, to prove it.
Sunny Sundays spent watching "MasterChef"
Over the years, I focused on my culinary hobby more and more. During the 2014 season of the show "MasterChef," I found myself spending most of a sunny Sunday indoors watching reruns. It's quite sad when you think about it, but I loved every episode.
Just to see those contestants learn so much about cooking in such a short time: fantastic! After the finale, I expressed to my husband, Paul, how great it would be to participate in a program like MasterChef. He looked at me with a serious face and asked me how badly I wanted it. "I would take a sabbatical for it," I replied. Next thing I knew I sent my application form for the next season.
Months passed without hearing from the producers; in my head, I had already let go of the dream—until that phone call in September, when they invited me for an interview and screen test. And so I went… and got in.
Now, however, I had to let my boss know. This was the same boss who had just given me a new role and the responsibility of overseeing the sales of Operation Services for one of our large global accounts. I knew he wasn't going to be jumping for joy, to say the least.
"I won't be seeing you back in two weeks"
My boss wasn't very happy, but at the same time he was extremely supportive, thinking of a way to make it work. I suggested I would take a four- or five-month sabbatical, taking into account that that period could be drastically shorter if I were to be eliminated in the first few rounds. My boss looked at me, smiled and said, "Knowing you, I won't be seeing you back in two weeks." If it was to end sooner, I could return and reclaim my role, we agreed. I am still extremely grateful I was given the opportunity to pursue my dream.
A dream come true
Going to the studio every day to cook truly was a dream come true. It was not only the cooking aspect, but also the fact that it was such a fantastic learning experience: How often in our adult life do we get the chance to get feedback on a daily basis?
Given that the program has a very constructive and positive nature, I found myself in a very meaningful and inspiring environment. It was tremendous to see the best chefs at work and how they manage to give their utmost every day. It made me contemplate how we can push our people and teams to give it their all and be the best performers.
I made it to the finals—the only woman to do so—but was subsequently the first one eliminated during that last stretch. Why did I get as far as I did? It's probably the fact that I'm extremely good in dealing with stress and that I perform best when under pressure. Those are, unquestionably, two of my key success factors—and of course, the fact that I'm a quick learner who's not afraid to experiment.
I was absolutely devastated when I was voted off; I don't think I ever felt so disappointed. I cried on national television—to the disbelief of some of my friends, who had never seen me cry in public.
I look back on that adventure fondly, and I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world. It even led to me offering my services as a professional private dinner chef. I have since cooked for small and large groups, like a fundraising night for 100 people, which was absolutely great.
Going back to work wasn't easy
Many of my colleagues, both ones I know and people I have never even met, supported me along the way, sending me thumbs up and messages. Not only colleagues, but their whole families watched the show. It really was heartwarming.
After my elimination, I had two weeks before I was due back in the office. I really needed those two weeks, if not more. I found going back to work very intense and not easy, to be honest.
It took about a month before I had regained the level of enthusiasm I have always had for my work. Being privileged enough to work with the young, driven and smart people I work with on a daily basis is one of the things I love most about my job.
What have I learned? My coach told me not to take everything too seriously and to look at life and work as a big play garden and to see the humor in things. He was so right.
I think that at work, we could do more and there is definitely room for improvement, which I actually consider a good thing. It certainly helps me excel as a person and as a manager.
"MasterChef" also played a big part in further shaping the type of leader I am. Today, I feel much more connected and committed to my team, asking them for feedback more often and rewarding them for excellent work on a regular basis. Instead of merely focusing on the final result, I try to be more involved in the steps in the process leading to that result.

Dear Editor: Did you know that as much as 80 percent of processed foods are made with genetically modified organisms?
What are GMOs? Here is a definition with an example from GMOfreeUSA.org:
"GMOs are made by forcing genes from one species into the DNA of an unrelated species in order to introduce a new trait ... This cannot occur in the natural world. For example: inserting a bacterial gene toxic to insects into (a) corn plant so that corn worms die when they attempt to eat the corn."
Monsanto is the largest company to produce GMO seeds — crops include corn, soy, yellow crook neck squash, zucchini and any derivative of those crops. Monsanto has never done long-term testing on humans to determine GMOs to be safe.
Why do we trust Monsanto with our food supply? At the very least, GMOs should be labeled. But here comes Monsanto, spending $8.1 million to defeat GMO labeling in California. What are they trying to hide?
On Saturday, there were to be more than 400 marches or demonstrations in 50 countries with 200,000-plus participants.
The goal of this movement is for people to start asking questions and seek the truth about GMOs and Monsanto. Join us online at march-against-monsanto.com or on Facebook or Twitter to show your support and bring awareness to GMOs and Monsanto.

Have you ever read something you knew was wrong and just felt frustrated about it? It didn't make sense, but you couldn't explain why?
Recently an Ohio newspaper, the Akron Beacon Journal, printed a series of articles attacking homeschooling. They claim that little is known about homeschoolers and suggest the government should tightly monitor and regulate the movement. They quote school officials and focus groups who say that homeschooling can hide child abuse and failing students.
This is nothing new. We didn't pay much attention until a friend told us that the first article mentions our logic book The Fallacy Detective. Ironically, we discovered that the two reporters who wrote these articles, Doug Oplinger and Dennis J. Willard, showcase several brazen errors in reasoning.
We'd like to give you a few tools for explaining to your friends, neighbors, and elected officials why using bad logic isn't a good idea when attacking homeschoolers.
Our purpose isn't to point out all the fallacies in these articles. We want to equip you to do this yourself. (Parents, finding fallacies in these articles might make a good school assignment.) Here is a crash-course in debunking bad newspaper reporting.
Claiming that something is true just because many people believe it is the fallacy of the appeal to the people. The Akron Beacon Journal articles use this fallacy frequently.
Nationally, according to the most recent polls on the topic, the country is divided on the socialization issue.
A 2001 Phi Delta Kappa poll found that the public, by just a slightly larger percentage (49 to 46), believes home schooling does not promote good citizenship. More than half – 53 percent – of the people who live in the Western United States believe home schooling promotes good citizenship, while only 37 percent in the East agree. (Nov. 16)
. . . .92 percent of [Americans] said home schoolers should take the same tests required of public school students. (Nov. 15)
We may not like to admit it, but we all become uneasy when many people disagree with us. However, public opinion is not a good gauge for what is true or false. Just because a large percentage of the population thinks homeschooling fails to produce good citizens does not make this true. Asserting this would be an appeal to the people.
Another fallacy used in the Beacon Journal articles is faulty appeal to authority.
David Swarbrick estimates that "60 percent [of homeschoolers] are on par with the public schools, 20 percent are above and 20 percent are below." (Nov. 15)
When we read a quote like this, we might worry that it indicates that homeschoolers don't excel at academics the way we thought.
However, before we accept what Swarbrick says, we need to look at his credentials. Is he an authority on comparing the academic accomplishments of homeschool students to government school students? We read that Swarbrick is a math tutor for 225 homeschool students in Texas. Based on what these articles say, he only has contact with students who need tutoring in math – probably not a good cross section of homeschoolers. To appeal to his expert knowledge would be a faulty appeal to authority. (Note: David Swarbrick has said that he was dreadfully misquoted by Oplinger and Willard.)
. . . there are huge, untested segments of the home-school population that may be failing, according to many researchers. (Nov. 15)
An ambitious reporter can find someone willing to say anything he wants. It means nothing when a reporter writes, "many researchers say. . . ." We can find "many researchers" willing to say there are space aliens living among us. A reporter needs to name the researchers he is quoting and explain their credentials. Otherwise, he is using a faulty appeal to authority.
. . . [T]he nation [collects] an unprecedented volume of statistics on public school students. . . . [But] it . . . knows almost nothing about children who are educated at home. (Nov. 15)
Lack of evidence is only evidence that there is a lack of evidence. There is no evidence of widespread cannibalism among Akron, Ohio residents; should the government fund a massive study to learn why there is no evidence? No, the government should channel its money to study problems for which we have evidence.
This line of reasoning tempts us to lose perspective. We imagine all the horrible possibilities of what homeschoolers could be doing behind closed doors, but we forget that we have absolutely no evidence for this – we only have a lack of evidence. Paranoia is an irrational fear of the unknown.
A reporter commits the fallacy of proof by lack of evidence when he suggests that something is true simply because there was no evidence to the contrary. A lack of evidence cannot be used to support or refute anything. The reporter has the burden of proof to supply positive evidence to support his claim.
School superintendents and other child professionals say an unknown number of children receive an inadequate education at home. . . . (Nov. 15)
An unknown number may be a million or zero. We don't know. We could say an unknown number of newspaper reporters were smoking an unknown substance when they wrote this article.
Throughout these articles, Oplinger and Willard weave together the proof by lack of evidence fallacy with another manipulative technique called innuendo.
In Texas, a librarian told the Beacon Journal that some home-schooling parents objected to the book selection on the shelves. They lobbied the library to bring back older editions – books that depicted the United States in the 1950s, prior to the landmark 1964 civil rights legislation. . . .
That idea is espoused on a number of racist Internet sites. . . . (Nov. 16)
Notice how Oplinger and Willard never explicitly claim that these homeschoolers are racist. They would need evidence to support this accusation. They only insinuate. Innuendo is a propaganda technique that uses subtle and misleading language to manipulate our minds.
Racist and extremist home schoolers are almost invisible until an event thrusts them into the public's consciousness. . . . In 1994, Gordon Winrod, an avowed anti-Semite and racist, kidnapped his eight grandchildren from their home in North Dakota and took them to a remote area in Missouri for six years and home-schooled them. . . . (Nov. 16)
To conclude that Winrod homeschooled these children simply because he did not send them to school clearly is a misrepresentation of homeschooling. Winrod kidnapped these children. Do all kidnappers homeschool their victims? By referring to kidnapping in an article about homeschooling, Oplinger and Willard suggest that this kind of behavior might characterize homeschoolers.
A tour of the Patrick Henry campus [a college connected with HSLDA] offers an impression of little or no racial diversity. . . .
On the college's apparent lack of racial diversity, [a representative of the college] said that's not important to the organization. . . .
The only African-American visible on a busy day early in the 2003-04 school year was a kitchen worker. (Nov. 17)
Oplinger and Willard never directly say that Patrick Henry College is racist, but they imply this with their strategically truncated quotes and observations.
This attack on homeschoolers has provided us with an exhilarating supply of material to teach logic. It made our day.
Oplinger and Willard may have mentioned our book to hint that homeschoolers don't use logic. But as we read their articles, we found that these reporters demonstrated a remarkable ignorance of logic. They should have read our book. It might have saved them the time it took to write those articles. But we're happy for the opportunity to teach some logic.
