A Holistic Ruling on Broken Schools
A blistering opinion should shame Connecticut lawmakers, who have failed to address the problem of educational inequality."The state’s failure to fulfill its constitutional duty to take responsibility for public education — and its insistence on delegating it to localities — had “left rich districts to flourish and poor districts to flounder,” said Judge Thomas Moukawsher of State Superior Court in Hartford."
A legal definition of an education is a necessity.

Opinion
Teaching Calvin in California
Some think theology has no place in a secular classroom. I’ve learned otherwise."Many believe that theology has no place in the secular college classroom."
"Jonathan Sheehan is professor of history and a co-director of the Berkeley Center for the Study of Religion at the University of California, Berkeley."
"Human
reason seeks to subject God to itself, but predestination tells us that
we cannot. Reasoning itself needs to come to an end before humans can
experience the proper relationship to God.
Here
we can see something special about the theological reasoning that
Calvin practiced. This is not philosophy, after all. His work is not
aimed at an abstract audience."
