...ignorant of the currents of religious thought that move the world society for ... which he is being prepared," Jackson wrote, and warned that putting all references to God off limits would leave public education "in shreds." In the 1963 Schempp decision, the exemption for secular study of Scripture was explicit and in the majority opinion: "Nothing we have said here indicates that such study of the Bible or of religion, when presented objectively as part of a secular program of education, may not be effected consistently with the First Amendment," wrote Justice Tom C. Clark. Justice Arthur Goldberg contributed...
...such, Harvard only divests in extremely rare and singularly egregious cases.Harvard’s divestment from PetroChina and Sinopec occurred because, after an extensive inquiry, it was decided that Harvard was deliberately and directly profiting from immoral acts of the highest order. This conclusion was based on the explicit connection between oil revenues and genocide in Sudan. A company dealing with almost any other commodity in Sudan would not be worthy of the same treatment, and the particulars of PetroChina and Sinopec’s actions and involvement—which are nearly impossible to capture with a rule?...
...directly analogous to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), HMS’ experience shows just how important incentive schemes are. In January, the Task Force on Teaching and Career Development at FAS released an extensive report which suggests tying pay raises to teaching in more extensive and explicit ways.

...with fast beats and poppy guitar melodies, “The Weirdness,” while maintaining the key elements of the band’s sound, has a distinctly modern feel to it. This mixture has its upsides and its downsides. The Stooges’ infamously primal, sexually explicit lyrics are still there, as is front man Iggy Pop’s distinct “singing” style (read: occasionally on pitch, sometimes screaming). But the overall sound doesn’t feel as unique as it must have in the band’s heyday...
...agreements and also the Saudi peace initiative adopted by the Arab League in 2002 (which offers full recognition of Israel and normalization of relations in exchange for a withdrawal to the Jewish State's 1967 borders, and a "just solution" to the Palestinian refugee issue). But it offers no explicit recognition of Israel. And while it raises the possibility of extending a truce, it does not actually renounce violence - in fact, it explicitly reasserts the right to "resistance" until the Israeli occupation is ended. Not all Palestinians take that as a call to arms, yet it's hardly what Washington...
