WSJ Trump lowers profile following wire tapping claim
I might be humored by this except he is the President and he holds the launch codes. No offense to those who voted for Trump, but I hope you feel good about your vote because I sure don't. And I voted for Bush 43 twice!

Go 'Merica!
Wa Po Man Starts Dumpster Fire to run Arabs out; owners are Indian
People of conscience should abhor and stand up to this level of hate. I am so disturbed by the white nationalism.

Competing World Visions
NYT Putin and Merkel have different visions for Europe
Again, nationalism is taking hold all over the world. What's the over under for the next world war? And under Trump the U.S. is ceding its global influence. What irony that Germany is now the voice of reason in the 21st century!

Sigh. April is the witching month. See my post on Trump and a Crisis.....
WaPo North Korea's Arsenal
And this isn't the soccer kind. South Korea leadership is in chaos. Trump is unpredictable and ill informed/prepared. North Korea is crazy. Yeah, nothing to worry about here. Let me just say that we have no idea or understanding about Asia and never have. It is a historical fact.

It is a Brave New World!
WaPo House Bill to allow employers to conduct genetic testing.
Or their employees will face financial penalties. So let me get this straight - ACA is too much government, but this is okay?? Um, Bill of Rights, 4th Amendment?? It is hypocritical to refuse to provide national healthcare but then allow our employers to genetically test us. This is not about the Constitution, it is about laissez faire (and it is repulsive!). Not to mention the connections to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Wow.

When is the next world war?
WaPo Anti immigrant anger in liberal Netherlands
I don't know when the next world war will be but the disturbing trend towards nationalism is a real concern.

Cops & Teachers: Similar issues
WaPo Police Departments likely to adopt new technology without analysis
Again, education and law enforcement share similar issues whether that is a few bad apples making us all look bad - or stupid - and the tendency of higher ups to go crazy for the latest and supposedly greatest thing.
Heaven forbid we do something for a few years and learn to do it well. Or that we look to what has worked historically and see how to make it relevant to the 21st century. Or that we really analyze how something works!

Free Lunches for All School Kids!
WaPo 13 Million Kids Go to School Hungry
I know, I know, big government is bad. But if we care about the future of society and care about kids and life then why aren't we providing free lunches, and free breakfast, at school for all kids regardless of income? I know that for years my family made just slightly too much money for reduced lunches. My kids got fed but a reduced breakfast and lunch would have been helpful. (Yes, we were once in THAT category. Wyatt went to Head Start.) As a teacher, this is a more profound pedagogical tool than testing or changing instruction every year!

What is up with this? Teachers & students? Yuck.
DMN Asst football coach at Carter HS has improper relationship
Ew. I am so sick and tired of gross adults with no sense making teachers look bad. Seriously. This guy is 38 and old enough to know better. The girl was 16. Of course, teenagers are difficult and at times think they are way more mature than they are. Still, at 38 he should have known better. If he were 23 and she were 18, then it would still be unprofessional but it might be understandable. This is just wrong and hurts teachers reputations, much like a bad cop hurts police. And of course, the media broadcasts .......

What a creep! Way to go police!
DMN Man Hits Toddler to toughen him, attacks disabled man who intervened
How very repulsive. And the state wants to privatize CPS..... Or maybe there isn't anything we as a society can do about this? Poor baby. And I am so glad that man was there to defend him!
