Dear @Glinner I am Jewish, the son of a Holocaust survivor who lost dozens of her family at Auschwitz where Inhave lectured on genocide prevention. My mother taught us that ‘Never Again’ is for all humanity. Opposing the policies of a self-proclaimed fascist government in Israel
Proud to say I've been invited to visit Israel later this year. I'll be going to apologise on behalf of every decent Irish person for my country's descent into medieval antisemitism.

Many college professors are discovering that students learn less when they have laptops open. Many of us are banning their use in class. Putting computers and tablets on students desks in K-12 may turn out to be among the costliest mistakes in the history of education
