From a GQ Pan article in the Epoch Times: The leader of United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA), which represents more than 30,000 employees in the nation’s second largest public school district, said in a recently published interview that learning losses during the pandemic are a myth. “There’s no such thing as learning loss,” UTLA President Cecily…
This sure does sound familiar: The University of Nottingham, in central England, confirmed on Aug. 25 that it had declined to give official recognition to Fr. David Palmer, a priest of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. “Our concern was not in relation to Fr. David’s views themselves, but the manner in which…
You know, Sundance makes a good point, here: We are told by the powers that be – that approximately 6,000 to 7,000 American citizens were rescued by daring efforts of the U.S. State Department and U.S. military in evacuations from Kabul airport. Okay, fair enough… that’s a good outcome. Happy to hear it; we can…
Although the case does not appear to be concluded in a final way, Superior Court Judge Susan McGuirl has dismissed a lawsuit by Bill Felkner against Rhode Island College, which he filed in 2007 after finding the social work department to be biased against him for his conservative beliefs. Just the fact that this case…
At least, that’s my reaction upon seeing this on NewsMax: The World Health Organization says it is monitoring a new vaccine-resistant variant of COVID-19 called “mu” that appears to be rising in Colombia. Even putting aside claims, like that of Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche at the end of the article, that our mass vaccination program is…
Seriously, at the level of clarity that Matt Hadro describes for the Catholic News Agency, any denial only compounds the scandal (see also Tim Pearce in the Daily Wire): President Joe Biden on Thursday announced a “whole-of-government” response to “ensure” abortion access in Texas, after the state’s pro-life law went into effect on Wednesday. In…
…and it apparently paid off (relatively speaking). As the saying goes, we’re all conservative when it comes to things we know about. So, instead of calculating for a 100 year storm, which was the standard, they took New Orleans’ rather unique vulnerability into account, doubled some crucial numbers and got the defenses designed and built…
I’ll be writing about the details in an ongoing way, but for the moment, I had to pause and express an observation from reading some of the materials for embedding critical race theory (CRT) in education. There are people with tremendous influence in the industry who are probably clinically psychotic and, in any event, should…
Glenn Reynolds posted on Instapundit some tweets from Meghan McCain saying she doesn’t recognize Biden as the man who “helped [her] through pain and grief.” She worries for the near future of our country, saying, “this is just as chaotic as Trump, just in a different way.” She can say that again. Trump’s term in office…
John DePetro suggests that the collapsed road in Portsmouth due to flooding looks like the result of an earthquake. Maybe it ought to cause a political earthquake. It looks to me like it follows a storm drain, which puts it in the ballpark of failed infrastructure. This ought to be investigated to understand what happened…
