Thursday, December 2, 2021

First, there was the debate about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and whether or not CRT existed in schools. As CRT was exposed to have negative baggage associated with it, educators pushing it avoided CRT and in favor of saying “equity is good,” let us try to market and sell equity. Now Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) has succumbed to yet another non-academic fad called Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Parents are just waking up to SEL.

Why San Francisco Is Nearly The Most Crime-Ridden City In The US

by Lee Ohanianvia California on Your Mind
Tuesday, November 9, 2021

San Franciscans face about a 1-in-16 chance each year of being a victim of property or violent crime, which makes the city more dangerous than 98 percent of US cities, both small and large. To put this in perspective, Compton, California, the infamous home of drug gang turf wars, and which today remains more dangerous than 90 percent of all US cities, is almost twice as safe as San Francisco.

America's Last King Wasn't The Crazy Tyrant You've Been Led To Believe

Tuesday, November 9, 2021

After two centuries of largely deliberate and highly political misrepresentation, people on both sides of the Atlantic think that because George was a tyrant king and moreover mad with porphyria, Britain lost the American War of Independence. In fact, he firstly wasn’t mad with porphyria, secondly he wasn’t a tyrant king, thirdly he was perfectly sane throughout the American Revolution, and lastly, he wasn’t responsible for Britain’s defeat.

The Fight Over The Hybrid Future Of Work

Monday, November 8, 2021

[Subscription Required] The lockdowns of 2020 represented an unprecedented shock to office life. Overnight, companies the world over were forced into a giant experiment in working from home (wfh) that few firms would ever have dared try of their own volition. At the peak in the spring of 2020, some 60% of total working hours in America were conducted from people’s living rooms, kitchens and, for the lucky few, home offices. The results of this experiment are in, and they suggest that many of these novel working practices will endure. And for the better.
