At a Christian College, Student Journalism Gets Religious
Administrators at Wheaton urge students to live righteously from an academic pulpit. We students hold them to high spiritual standards, as well.
"Just
as a judge is expected to follow the law, and politicians are supposed
to vote according to the values they were elected on, administrators at
Christian colleges are held to the highest spiritual standards,
especially because they urge us to live righteously from an academic
pulpit.
And
yet if we balance our cynicism with empathy and common sense, it’s easy
to see that a blunder on the part of the faithful doesn’t mean the
faith isn’t worth following. Our administrators are only human."
Politicians are representatives.
They are not exemplars.

My Lesson From White America
How this Latino teacher has been schooled by his students.
"These
days, economic forces are conspiring to make the stories of many of my
white Oregon students more similar to those of my Latino students. Both
tell tales of small towns and overworked parents, about feeling like
outsiders and battling class discrimination. I’ve found the same themes
in other student writing from Central California, upstate New York and
rural Wisconsin.
If
social mobility isn’t what it used to be, it may be a reality that
Latino people have adapted to more readily. In my humble, nonwhite
opinion, white America has not yet found a constructive language to talk
about this shared experience of the 21st century. I find hope, however,
in the young people in my classes who roundly reject the idea that
nonwhite people are to blame for their struggles."

Diabetes, Diet and Shame
My disease carries an extra burden — the perception that I’ve brought it on myself.The specific sugar fructose is toxic.
Diabetic sweets substitute pure fructose for sucrose, which is half fructose, because fructose does not spike blood glucose.

‘Schizophrenia Is Not a Romantic Disease’
Psychiatrists write to emphasize the serious symptoms of psychosis.The commenters are missing the authors dilemma.
