Yet another autistic child assulted by a teacher →
autisticamerica:
When Isaiah Hart, a first-grader with autism, came home from school Oct. 25 with a knot on his head and scratches around his neck, he told his parents that his teacher did it.
The principal at the school, James Rhoads Elementary in West Philadelphia, investigated and [said he] found no evidence to corroborate Isaiah’s claims, but the 8-year-old’s parents are upset that...

Only a few months back, many, if not most Republicans spoke out against the possible construction of an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in Manhattan, on the grounds that it would “offend” people who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. Perhaps all but a few of these…

Answers:

The War on Cameras →
Police across the country are using decades-old wiretapping statutes that did not anticipate iPhones or Droids, combined with broadly written laws against obstructing or interfering with law enforcement, to arrest people who point microphones or video cameras at them.

I remember this day 30 years ago, and it still is hard to believe what happened to John Lennon. The following night I went to my hangout bar (drinking age was…er…13 in AZ at the time), and it was packed. I started talking about it with some people I knew - you really need to talk with people at…

“Pro-lifers” are not pro-life. They have never been pro-life. If they are, they sure as hell aren’t pro-living. These are the people who think war is a wholesome activity for the kids. Who don’t mind sending the masses to prison for smoking pot. Who spend countless amounts of time and money prohibiting marriage. Who don’t mind kids being born into poverty. Who...
