This is a new push to control non governmental activities and to prevent young girls to have access to education.
The order was sent by Moulavi Habibollah, "education" minister of Taliban regime on Sunday.

I've seen this movie. It doesn't end well.
Seriously, it hits all the major plot points leading to death and destruction: ignore the experts, give robots weapons, put them in schools...

Jordan Peterson's thoughts on ADHD. If we live in a society that is not normal or healthy, should we use drugs to make children adept to it, or should we change schools to allow for more playful exploration, creativity and physicality?

As TN works towards restoring lynching & firing squads- in cases of teachers/doctors who #respect #truth & #reality.

These are fully functional Sparkfun weather stations that require no soldering to assemble. They are based around the very cheap BBC micro:bit processor. The weather station can read temperature, humidity, pressure as well as light level, soil moisture and temperature, wind direction and speed, and also has a rain gauge.
Building a weather station is a practical project that helps unlock an interest in science, and the micro:bit processor also forms the heart of many more such DIY projects.
In South Africa I see the kits and parts are all available at Communica for purchase at https://www.communica.co.za/products/spf-climate-kit-for-micro-bit.

In the following, Greg Wickenkamp is an eighth-grade social studies teacher, and Noll is Superintendent Laurie Noll. This was Iowa.
She continued: “To say ‘Is slavery wrong?’ — I really need to delve into it to see is that part of what we can or cannot say. And I don’t know that, Greg, because I just don’t have that. So I need to know more on that side.”\
\
As Wickenkamp raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, she added, “I’m sorry, on that part.”\
\
Wickenkamp left the Zoom call. At the close of the year, he left the teaching profession.\
\
Contacted for comment, Noll wrote in a statement that “the district provided support to Greg with content through a neighboring school district social studies department head.” She did not answer a question asking whether she thinks teachers should be permitted to tell children that slavery was wrong.

Conservatives hate science and hate the word science as if it's a dirty word
Bill would ban the teaching of scientific theories in Montana schools - 1st, Montana considers outlawing #electricvehicles, now this? Has the state gone entirely crazy? It appears so.

What makes up a memory?
After ~15 years of having a meditation practice, I think I'm finally getting good. At the end of October, I suffered a heart attack and subsequently had a coronary bypass graph. (They harvest veins from your legs and sew it around the blockages on your heart. I'm recovering nicely; I just have to remember to have the patience I'd have for others, for myself. The difficult part was sleeping: it has always been. Because of the pain, I did take pain medication at night, hoping to sleep. I didn't sleep for more than a few minutes at a time and, being older, I had some mild hallucinations.
Sleep has been my 'kryptonite' since I was a little boy. When I was in third or fourth grade, my father told me he could have me taken away in the middle of the night. (I'm not looking. for sympathy.)
After several sleepless nights, someone must have figured it out and I was put in a psychiatric hospital for children. It's only recently that I recalled it partly because the staff, and the patients, called it Pedi-Psy. At the time I didn't realize how they got that name. I don't have much recollection of the experience. It was a hospital that my mother would never have been able to drive to, so I didn't really have visitors. They did have a large and varied library which I enjoyed.
I'm not sure how long I was in there. When I returned, the elementary school thought it would be the perfect time to start me in the next grade. (Schools no longer skip students.) I was bright enough. but lacked any sort of social skills. When I completed Elementary school, the next step was a single building that went from seventh to twelfth grade. Whoever thought that up must have really hated children. ;)
After being there a year, I was skipped over eighth grade. Now I really stood out. I wish I had the courage to ask about all of this before my mother passed. So much of it was a blur. The story doesn't end here, but I'll spare the rest for another day.

An Illinois school for students with disabilities has routinely used the police to handle discipline, resulting in the highest arrest rate of any district in the country. In one recent year, half of Garrison School students were arrested.

This is just unbelievable. I was sharing a house with some guys in Scotland when I was on a contract for Cadence, one of the guys said that his team members working for Amazon had to clock out before going to the bathroom. Still he was against union membership and didn't think it was worth it!
Now it is the schools! Training them for the future slavery job market I assume!
This is not going to break twitter and social media or be on world TV news for days. This is how Israel treats non/violent Palestinian groups. And then people ask, why don;t they protest peacefully!
Ever since it's creation, #Israel has been harder on peaceful movements and activists in #Palestine than they are with the militants. They know the power of non/violence can expose the fake "right to defend" slogan they hide behind when destroying the homes of Palestinians on a daily basis or shooting young boys and girls in the eye or their kne caps.
And sadly, all they will receve from the "defenders of human rights in #EU and #US is going to be a lame call to condemn, but that is not sure any more.
In the mean time, they keep confiscating land, keep #demolish #homes and #schools and keep expanding their cancerous #occupation of Palestinian land.
