...knowledge generally accepted in the scientific and educational communities and with which a student at the university level should be conversant.” Since the BARWS standards are clearly content-neutral, the only possible argument left is that the standards are being imposed in an unusually harsh manner against Christian courses. Calvary and the ACSI have made this argument as well, pointing to classes on Buddhism and Judaism that have been accepted for credit. Again, it is important to consider why the Calvary courses have been turned down. Courses are welcome to teach U.S. history from a particular perspective?...
...cleared quickly, says Andrew Dahlstrom, 31, an AES worker who has spent most of his life in the town. "The wheat harvest is about to start and they'll need all the storage space available." As well, cotton has been planted and in coming weeks, under a harsh sun, teams of casual workers, known as "chippers," will flock to the vast fields to remove weeds from the crop.

After acknowledging some missteps and perhaps removing some culpable officials, they will likely point to the Harbin incident as further evidence of their newfound willingness to deal openly with challenges such as avian flu. Unfortunately, it is unlikely Beijing will recognize the Harbin disaster for what it really is: a wake-up call signaling that without real reform, they risk hundreds of millions of desperately ill citizens, greater social unrest...
