Opinion

Bad Blood

Joe Bryan probably didn’t kill his wife. But he’s behind bars for her murder, thanks to the dubious forensic practice of bloodstain-pattern analysis.

The defense is not doing the job they are hired to do.

The police are often the problem.
Fabricated evidence is criminal.

Review: ‘The Doctor From India’ Pushes Nontraditional Medicine

The documentary focuses on Vasant Lad and his claims that ayurveda can cure various ailments.

The state claims a limited duty of care.
What those limits are is a continuing debate.
Another's income should not hasten ones death intentionally.

On Race: The Moral High Ground

Racism reduces the racist. That is the ironic, poetic justice of it.

There is no case for racism.

Movies

Review: In ‘A Kid Like Jake,’ Parents, Gender and a 4-Year-Old

When Brooklyn parents, played by Claire Danes and Jim Parsons, are told that their son enjoys “gender expansive play,” things get interesting.

Some cildren are gay.

They are their own persons and children.
Some behavior cannot be corrected.
The attempt is destructive.

Opinion

The 1,500 ‘Missing’ Kids Are the Lucky Ones

Trump doesn’t want to protect immigrant children. He wants to lock them up.

Yes.

Trump and some of his supporters are racist monsters.

Teachers Find Public Support as Campaign for Higher Pay Goes to Voters

In a survey, nearly three in four American adults said teachers’ salaries were too low. The sentiment crossed party lines, even if raises meant higher taxes.

Do what works.
The fights over curriculum can come later.

The Learning Network

Should All Americans Receive Anti-Bias Education?

In your opinion, is educating people about unconscious bias an appropriate response to racist incidents like the one that happened at Starbucks?

Top down commands should not work or be necessary.

Technology

‘I Don’t Feel Superhuman. I Feel Like a Mom Who Has a Career.’

Rebecca Slaughter, a new commissioner at the F.T.C., brings her infant to work in Washington, a city whose work culture has been stubbornly slow to change.

Pioneering is never easy for the pioneers.
The strong prosper.

We all have tricks to beat jet lag and get a good night’s sleep when traveling, but these five tips will help, no matter where you roam.

Good advice.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Chokes Up at Student’s Question on Shootings


Tears do not help.

Weapons are for killing.
People must accept arbitrary deaths or limit weapons.
The choice is that stark.

I am for limits on weapons. 
Tools I will compromise about.

Paranoia is an illness.
It should be recognized and treated.
