More: The Education Agenda of the Walton Family This post is a comprehensive review of the education priorities of the Walton Family Foundation. The Walton family has made many billions of dollars from the Walmart stores. Walmart comes into a region and undersells every local retail store. In time, the mom-and-pop stores-beloved community institutions handed down in some cases from generation to generation- close ...
More: School Bans Christmas Trees, the Colors Red & Green This is a few days old, but still a big *facepalm*The old urban legend about a school banning red and green is back, this time directed at an elementary school in Texas. An elementary school in Frisco, Texas is believed to be the first in the state to violate "The Merry Christmas Law" after ...
A new academic review from the Consortium for Risk-Based Firearm Policy contradicts Fox News' conflation of violence and mental health, finding that the two are only related under narrow circumstances and that the vast majority of people with mental health conditions are not violent. The report calls for developing better "evidence-based criteria" for determining who is more likely to commit acts of violence and ...
Today I learned there's a skateboarding school in Afghanistan where 40% of its students are female. In a part of the world where little girls are getting shot at for promoting women's education, that's a pretty impressive statistic. In a part of the world where little girls aren't even allowed to ride a bicycle, that's a ground-breaking statistic. Officially, this makes Afghanistan the unlikeliest ...
Could have put this under "Wingnuts," but this happened awhile ago, so I thought "History" was more fitting. Anyone on the right who wants to claim Republicans or conservatives never supported the Apartheid regime, here's something else you can use to debunk them. This was also motivated by profit, so whoever says greed is good, has been proven wrong in this case as well. ...
Wingnuts love to talk about the merits of home schooling, but one of the biggest providers of home schooling curriculum shows how little they actually car about education. A popular curriculum used by home-schooled students has drawn criticism for inaccurate, misleading information and an over-reliance on rote memorization, but those aspects may not be the worst things about it. A lot of the material ...
The Slacker side of the aisle up to the same old tricks, if they can't deny they can delay. The new GOP Tactic is the same old GOP Tactic: waste Tax payer's time while collecting a check. The Senate slowly began working its way through a backlog of presidential nominees on Tuesday now that Republicans are virtually powerless to block confirmations, approving a once-stalled ...
The reviews are coming in for the bipartisan budget deal crafted by Republican Rep. Paul Ryan and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray and as the Los Angeles Times says, the package seems to have "something for everyone to dislike." "It won't cut federal spending or shrink the national debt, so conservative Republicans don't like it," the Times says, and "it won't restore much money for ...
number of Animal Shelters in the US: 5000 or 3500 number of Domestic Violence Shelters in US: 1924 I've actually been having a difficult time finding info. This report, however, says that however many there are, at least 19 have had to close for budgeting reasons. Your thoughts?

It probably is no surprise that Tiger Beat On The Potomac has used to occasion of the budget deal struck last night between Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny-starver from Wisconsin and First Runner-Up in our most recent vice-presidential pageant, and Senator Landingham of Washington state, as a means to sell us on the idea of a New Paul Ryan, and not the one the ...

The world faces a growing population, resource constraints, climate change, and a global food system under stress. But new technology is limited in its ability to address the problems facing those in poverty. 780 million still lack access to clean water. 1/5 of humanity lives without electricity. 80% of sub-Saharan Africa is farmed with a hand-hoe. Sara Boettiger -- Senior Advisor at Syngenta Foundation ...
For those of you who never heard of her, Tila Tequila (originally Nguyen) is a "reality show" star who thinks she is a rapper. Originally a nude model, she parlayed her career into being a "professional" celebrity, like a third rate Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton. Well, apparently in the middle of last year, she suffered a brain aneurysm due to a drug over ...
Question-How big is a cubitAnswer-Not nearly big enough I am a person of faith, brought up WASP. But a literalist interpreation of the bible makes no sense to me. At the end of the day, every bible ever scribed, chiseled in stone, printed or PDF is the work of humanity. Humans. Lil edit there, did not mean to imply a greater participation than the ...
