De utvalda barnen #5Värdegrund ter sig ibland som någonting man inte skaffar sig för att man har gjort något obestridligt fult — som att förskingra pengar från hemlösa katter eller göra köttfärs av små barn — utan för att man blivit påkommen med att göra det. Det är alltså inte särskilt förvånande att Waldorfskolefederationen nu ska skaffa sig … Continue reading De utvalda barnen #5 → read more

The Privacy Act Project: Revisiting and Revising the Privacy Act of 1974All Eye Overlord by Aswin Behera. (Source: CyberVisuals) The Privacy Act of 1974 is an orphan. At a time when privacy is a hot legislative topic just about everywhere, almost no one has examined the Privacy Act, one of the oldest information privacy laws in the world. The act reflects the technologies of the 1970s, like ancient mainframe computers (that had less computer power than your smartphone) and filing cabinets filled with paper records—it’s that old. The other feature of the Privacy Act that keeps it off current radar screens is that the act applies to U.S. federal agencie... read more

Přicházíme k rozcestí - Rozprava M.N. Hopkins
*Dostáváme se na rozcestí. Jedna cesta vede k novému začátku lidstva, druhá nás vede ke staré nudné a prázdné existenci. Přichází volba. Zvolit si cestu svobody a sebeurčení, nebo pokračovat po známé cestě zotročení a špatného směřování.* *Nyní je čas volby. Stejně jako veškerý čas pramení z přítomnosti volby. Vybíráme si tu či onu cestu. To bylo vepsáno do scénáře.* *Zvolte si život založený na samostatnosti a sebeurčení, nebo prázdnou cestu otroctví, mylně vydávanou za svobodu a demokracii.

The Alaska-Class Battlecruiser War Not Quite a Battleship*Peter Suciu* *U.S. Navy, Americas* Even worse, these ships essentially arrived in time to meet a threat that no longer existed. While Alaska wasn’t even a state at the time, the United States Navy developed a new class of warship named in honor of the then-territory. All six of the subsequently planned vessels were to be named after territories or insular areas of the United States and the reason was somewhat fitting in that these weren’t battleships nor were the ships actually cruisers. They were essentially a new—and unchartered—territory in warship design. Their career was a... read more

New Restrictions on “Teaching” Critical Race Theory, and the Use-Mention Distinction AgainStatutes described as restricting the teaching of critical race theory are both ignorant and stupid. Are they unconstitutional, though? That’s not as clear to me as it appears to be to others. As with many things constitutional, details matter. The Oklahoma statute says that schools can’t “make part of a course” seven listed concepts, including that “an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously” (the other “concepts” are similarly described). What exactly does this bar? On its face, ... read more

Praise the Lord, not Ford. Thanks to a panel of outside experts, CCC president “Dr.” Charles McVety has just been denied the political payoff that would have perverted our post-secondary schools.
