The great sin of our age is incuriosity. People are not motivated to learn, they are not motivated to pursue knowledge. We need a generation of students that are hyper-literate, a generation that rejoices in reading. If there's any hope for the future, it begins in the library.

I agree with this take. Time for UC to reconsider the choice not to use SAT and ACT. Contributor: UC should go back to considering standardized tests in admissions - Los Angeles Times

The five-year experiment in ignoring SAT and ACT results has failed. Continuing it would be a disservice to students who aren't prepared for college.

Cameras, like all high-tech law enforcement tools (and all things in life, really), come with tradeoffs. There is strong evidence that they bring important public safety benefits - because they increase the likelihood that offenders are caught quickly. (This brings

What I wish people would realize about anti-semitism is that it isn't enough to say "it's theoretically possible to harshly criticize Israel without being anti-semitic". Yes it is. But lots of Palestinian Cause types traffic in anti-semitism and don't face sufficient opprobrium.
