Big Peace   "The prime minister made it clear to the most powerful man on earth that if he intends to stay the most powerful man on earth, it's important to make a change in American policy because the practical result of his current policy is liable to lead him to the same failure that the Americans absorbed in North Korea and Pakistan, and Iran could be next in line."....

 

Dumb Versus Dumber in Common Core Debate

Ramesh Ponnuru "Last week, Arne Duncan, the secretary of education, picked just the right words to make an increasingly hot controversy even hotter.
"Like many education officials in both parties, Duncan is a defender of the Common Core initiative to create uniform academic standards for K-12 education in all states. Resistance to it, he asserted, comes mainly from “white suburban moms” who don’t take kindly to hearing that their children aren’t meeting newly raised standards.

Alan Caruba; The UN Global Warming Hoax is Slowly Dying

Warning Signs

 

... "The media has been a co-conspirator to the global warming hoax and I take this latest example as one that reveals its utter desperation to maintain the greatest hoax of the modern era. The facts mean nothing to them. Real science means nothing to them. But reality is intruding on theirs and the United Nations environmental program just wrapped up Conference of Parties-19 in Warsaw, where more nations are now in open revolt."

....

"Some journalists are trying to tell the truth, but magazines like BusinessWeek and newspapers like The New York Times continue to keep the hoax alive. An informed population, not just in the United States, but increasingly worldwide, will ensure that it dies a long overdue death."

Ohio State marching band performs patriotic halftime show

Columbus Dispatch  "The halftime show went off with a bang yesterday inside Ohio Stadium.
"From a cannon firing to a man on a horse wielding a sword, the Ohio State University Marching Band's formations continued to entertain.
"The show's theme, "A New Birth of Freedom," was a nod to the sesquicentennial of the Battle of Gettysburg.

"Musical selections included Lincoln Portrait and Battle Hymn of the Republic, which featured the Ohio State Men's Glee Club.
"The marching band will take this show on the road to Michigan next week, but you can watch the entire routine in video here."

Oppression in Higher Education: Hilarious and Sad

Thomas Lifson  "In the politically correct hothouse of an elite university campus, all sorts of bizarre theories and beliefs flourish. Did you know that grammar is racist? That's the gist of a kerfuffle currently playing out at UCLA, the taxpayer-funded institution that is one of America's most prominent research universities, and a global brand name (UCLA-licensed tee shirts and other merchandise are wildly popular overseas -- scores of of dedicated UCLA merchandise stores and departments exist in Japanese, South Korean and Chinese malls and department stores and bring in substantial royalties to the university)."
"You see, by highlighting spelling and punctuation errors, the professor is contributing to an "unsafe climate for students of colour." Reminding students of the basic rules of English apparently helps to create "a hostile and toxic environment" in Professor Rust's classroom. Such are the mental and emotional traumas of the modern grad school intellectual.' "
....
"These UCLA grad students, so convinced that they are victims and that everything is stacked against them really ought to travel to China and talk to some people their own age, looking at how they live, how hard they study, and what they are willing to do in order to make it to the privileged life lived by  the grievance mongers on the idyllic campus in West Los Angeles."

British School Threatens to Label 8 Year-olds as Racists if They Miss Required Islam Workshop   "Parents were ordered to send their children to a workshop on Islam or have them labelled as racist for the rest of their school career.

"Families were told to pay £5 per child for the Explore Islam trip next Wednesday to Staffordshire University, which would involve Year 4 and Year 6 children being shown Islamic artefacts.
" ‘All absences on this day will be investigated for their credibility and will only be sanctioned with a GP sick note.’"

 

O, Canada! School Tells Mom Her Homemade Lunches are Illegal   "A mom who thought she was properly parenting by sending her two young kids to school with a homemade, whole-food lunch was shocked to find a penalty note from school officials informing her that the lunch of roast beef, potatoes, carrots, oranges and milk she provided was “unbalanced” and therefore had to be supplemented with Ritz crackers.

"She was also fined $10."   Life under liberals.
