Some of you may have heard pieces of No Child Left Behind news in the last couple of weeks: Connecticut is thinking of dropping out, as is Utah, and a big study just out says achievement gains have slowed since NCLB passed. And you may have wondered why I haven't talked about it. Well, eRobin is on the case at TAS.
This site--"Irregular Wisconsin"--doesn't link to me yet, even though I emailed them a long time ago to be included. Maybe if I link to them first . . .
I don't link to Barbara O'Brien often enough. That changes now, with a handfull of links I bookmarked a few weeks back intending to link to them. Read them in order: one two three four.
As a follow-up to what I wrote last week about Intelligent Design and Evolution, Culture Warrior Ed Brayton tells us a story of Creationist/ ID controversy in Michigan. What's meaningful here is that the teachers teaching ID--and remember, ID does not identify or advocate for a particular "designer"--were also mixing in young-earth Geology specific to Biblical creation.
Finally, an up-to-date link: Dean Mundy, Suburban Fella, shows why he's the thoughtful conservative in this excellent essay that needs to be passed around the Republican leadership. Thanks, Dean.
