...curricular review’s game of duck, duck, goose, Reason and Faith is the goose. While we appreciate the bold thinking underlying this suggestion, among the excisable components of a solid general education report, a religion requirement should be the first to go. It would be foolish to think that the study of religion should not play an important part in educating “citizen[s] of a democracy within a global society,” as the report advances as its underlying aim. Religion has always been important and certainly, recent events seem to have elevated...
...major media outlets, he’s discovered the real reason why the U.S., the EU, Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia supported the position that Hamas instigated this recent conflict in Gaza: They were brainwashed by the biased mass media.

It is a long-standing tenet of testmaking that girls outperform boys on writing exams. For reasons I am not foolish enough to speculate about in print, girls are better than boys at fixing grammar and constructing essays, so the addition of a third SAT section, on writing, was almost certain to shrink the male-female score gap. It did. Girls trounced boys on the new writing section, 502 to 491. Boys still outscored girls overall...
