Schools and the Pedagogy of Punishment
Tuesday 20 October 2009 This article is drawn from Henry A. Giroux's book, "Youth in a Suspect Society," which has just been published by Palgrave/McMillan.

Oct. 17, 2009 (May, 2009) A 16-year-old Iraqi immigrant in central Sweden has single-handedly figured out a formula with Bernoulli numbers that is normally reserved for much more seasoned mathematicians, earning him praise from professors at prestigious Uppsala University.

Long interested in mathematics, Altoumaimi has spent the last four months toiling over his notebook in an attempt to write a formula to explain a number of complex relationships dealing with Bernoulli numbers.

Letter to Congress: Lose 'gay' radical Jennings (with video)
'It is clear he wants to remake public education the way he personally sees fit' Oct. 5, 2009 Kevin Jennings, President Obama's choice to run the Department of Education's Office of Safe Schools, has made a career connecting the idea of "safety" and advocacy for homosexual behavioral choices, and as such "has shown that he cannot be trusted with this position and should be removed from it as soon as possible." The criticism of Obama's selection to oversee safety programs for public schools in the United States came today from the American Principles Project, a group dedicated to preserving and propagating the fundamental principles on which the United States was founded. It has set up a website program through which concerned parents and others can send a message with their concern to members of Congress.
