Four Letters to a Fellow University Professor on the Death of Literacy (Letter 1)

September 8, 2008Aletia;Your student is challenging you to justify having given him an "F" because he couldn't read well enough to pass the course? 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

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

CONservative Roots

Posted by Raynard Jackson on April 2, 2009 at 12:00am

April 2, 2009Raynard JacksonThe root of the word conservative is con. 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

The Obama Presidency: Will Progressives Offer a Vision For a More Perfect Union?

Dr. Ron Daniels: As it became increasingly clear that Barack Obama was poised to make history as the first African American President of the United States, it was also clear that this was potentially a big moment for the progressive movement – a time to articulate a vision for a new America and to organize to advance an agenda for reform and fundamental change. As the Obama presidency unfolds, the question is whether the progressive movement is prepared to seize the opportunity presented by thi

New Sudanese terrorist alliance threatens a repeat of September 11

Posted by BF Bankie on March 27, 2009 at 10:34pm

Abdullahi Osman El-Tom:March 16, 2009 — It would be a mistake not to take the recent formation of an alliance of a “jihadist” group with due seriousness. By any measure, this alliance bears the hallmarks of a terrorist organisation with the potential for grave consequences, both nationally and internationally. Given Sudan’s strict control over its printed media, the lack of prompt and categorical dismissal of the news is a firm indicator that the alliance is real and should be addressed as such.
