He wants you to explain to him why his having failed doesn't mean something is wrong with you, as a professor? Should you respond to his challenging your legitimacy?You know what? NO. You SHOULDN'T.If the student can't read, then that's part of the problem. He'll find a less demanding class and a less demanding professor. Many of our colleagues are f

REQUESTING INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY Greetings Brothers and Sisters, Here we are (again!) involved in a referendum nobody asked for to take place May 15. You know the situation 'cause you've been here. The puppet government wants the people to approve (not asking them if they agree or not) the December 2008 agreements they signed with their Dutch masters- without consulting anybody - that put back in the hands of the Dutch administration the vital areas of national life such as justice, public

And that’s exactly what the American people have received from conservatives.Modern American conservatism was created out of an alliance between classical liberals and social conservatives at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. Many credit philosopher Edmund Burke as the father of this movement. Former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln stated that “conservatism is adherence to the old and tried, against the n

President Obama has ridden in on the winds of change, promising diplomacy rather than belligerence as U.S. foreign policy; but he has yet to speak clearly against the policy of underdevelopment and "removal" Israel deploys against Palestinians living under occupation.Unfortunately, Obama's voice overseas, Secretary of State Hillary Clin

As the Obama presidency unfolds, the question is whether the progressive movement is prepared to seize the opportunity presented by thi
