"I begin with my conclusion: The 'public' school system is the most immoral and corrupt institution [in NZ] today, and it should be abolished."
Peter Cresswell, Not PC - 6 hours ago
*"I begin with my conclusion: The 'public' school system is the most immoral and corrupt institution [in NZ] today, and it should be abolished. It should be abolished for the same reason that chattel slavery was ended in the 19th century: Although different in purpose and in magnitude of harm to its victims, public education, like slavery, is a form of involuntary servitude. The primary difference is that public schools force children to serve the interests of the state rather than those of an individual master.

*Robert Farley* *History, Americas* Meet the "Loon." *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Loon provided the foundation of America’s postwar cruise-missile industry. In the final year of World War II, Nazi Germany attempted to offset the growing Allied military advantage by deploying a series of advanced “super weapons” intended to sow terror in Allied soldiers and civilians. Among the most effective of these weapons was the V-1 cruise missile, a cheap replacement for the strategic bombers that Germany could no longer afford. In 1944 and 1945, the Germans launched some 12,000 V-...

Is Engaging With China Still Useful?
Paul J. Smith, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Paul J. Smith* *China, Europe* Engagement, far from being a naïve or hopeless endeavor, can be a useful pathway that builds confidence and helps maintain peace. As the Biden administration constructs its China policy, the question of U.S. engagement with China will likely be a central concern. One of the legacies of the Trump administration’s China policy was its questioning of a long-held American belief in the value of engagement with rival powers, such as China and Russia. The assumption that such engagement, to include open trade, would transform those countries into “benign...

*Sarah Parshall Perry* *Politics, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2021%3Anewsml_RC2IML9O6R73&share=true] The Equality Act would go too far and is contrary to the wishes of many Americans.
