POPSMaterialists in catch-22 Note that "classroom banter" now qualifies as grounds for a federal civil-rights lawsuit, whereas soliciting oral sex from interns in the Oval Office -- hey, what kind of right-wing prude would object to that? Sexual harassment law does not prevent professors or anyone else from using positions of power to obtain sexual favors. That happens every day. What it does is punish the unattractive and awkward -- those who fail in the pursuit of seduction -- whereas the attractive and charming succeed, and are cagey enough to avoid legal entanglements. There are probably oboe professors who are getting all the undergrad action they can handle, but they are the cute and clever ones. It is only the clumsy rejects who get accused of harassment. If Title VII abolished one sort of inequality, it institutionalized another. And remember: Equality is for Ugly Losers!

POPSThe World That Awaits This is a sobering moment in American history. You'll begin with a good deal of popular support, but mandates must be replenished. I suggest you think of the Oval Office as a classroom, and explain to the American people what we need to accomplish and what it will require. Some 21st-century version of the fireside chat is called for. My reading of things is that the American people are ready to be leveled with. Once the campaign is over, let the leveling begin. FROM: Richard N. Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations

POPSNSW church-state deal 'hampering ethics education' This will change, it's older than me. Remember Religious Instruction as a waste of time. The volunteers were unable to control classes, the kids learnt nothing and many wanted to opt out when there weren't mobs of rewards. So much is put on teachers these days, such as ethics lessons. I taught ethics (non religious) from the first time I walked into a classroom and most teachers do the same.

POPS“Guilty as Hell, Free as a Bird, America is Great"
I interviewed Ayers ten years ago, in a kindergarten classroom in uptown Manhattan where he was employed to shape the minds of inner city children. Dressed in bib overalls with golden curls rolling below his ears, Ayers reviewed his activities as a terrorist for my tape recorder. When he was done, he broke into a broad, Jack Horner grin and summed up his experience: “Guilty as hell. Free as a bird. America is a great country.” What I saw was a shallowness beyond conception. All the Weather leaders I interviewed shared a similar vacuity. They were living inside a utopian fantasy, a separate reality, and had no idea of what they had done. Nor any way to measure it. Appreciating the nation to which they were born, recognizing the great gifts of freedom and opportunity their parents and communities had given them, distinguishing between right and wrong – it was all above their mental and moral ceiling. In the days ahead, this is one of the dangers we face. -David Horowitz

POPSGoogle Lit Trips - a mashup of literature and Google Earth "GoogleLitTrips.com is flat out a fantastic project with deep examples of the way technology can be meaningfully integrated into the curriculum. Too often in technology there is a lamentable lag between promise and classroom realization. Jerome Burg closed that gap with GoogleLitTrips. Classical works, modern literature, and wordless primary illustrations are given new life, new access, and a critical new perspective for classrooms. Media, literature, and the earth itself converge here in one of the most exemplary technology integration sites on the educational world wide web. The project's bonus feature is that Jerome himself is a resource who will help you learn from and build GoogleLit projects. By all means, visit, share, and build!"
