- Ban books? Ban ideas, ban imagination, ban a future
  Posted by srpr from Scholarsandrogues
  To ban a book is to ban an idea. Some ideas are good; some are bad. But good and bad are judgments each of us must be free to make — and learn to make.

- 4 Ethiopian immigrants put in separate classroom
  Posted by Shemuses from Ynetnews
  In a move more reminiscent of apartheid era South Africa than modern day Israel, four Ethiopian students at the Lamerchav Elementary School in Petah Tikva were segregated in a separate classroom because they were 'not observant enough'. Shocked father states: ‘We are being discriminated against for being black and powerless’

- The Secret to Raising Smart Kids
  Posted by Jeff from Slashdot
  Mastery-oriented children think intelligence is malleable and can be developed through education and hard work. Challenges are energizing rather than intimidating offering opportunities to learn.

- Are Americans smart enough to vote?
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues
  In order to bring a little more depth to this debate I thought I'd do some research to discover whether or not the nation's citizens are under-informed and, if so, to what degree. I've decided to present some interesting poll results. Here's what I discovered...

- One in 10 Schools Are 'Dropout Factories' - AOL News
  Posted by StellaDee from AOL News
  It's a nickname no principal could be proud of: "Dropout Factory," a high school where no more than 60 percent of the students who start as freshmen make it to their senior year. That description fits more than one in 10 high schools across America.

You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.
However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

. . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.
i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this. otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

Hi okami,
I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church. Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."
people fear change and the future and uncertainity.
this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that. it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.

Ah, by the way. If I were an US citizen, I would vote conservative, but definitely not because of Obama’s skin colour or because of his religious ideas, if any.
That’s why I am afraid Obama’s gonna win: because of conservatives’ lackness of proper arguments, I am afraid…
US fellows: W A K E U P !!! The world needs a strong US, leaded by an intelligent, rational, liberal person. Not from a religius freak!
