    About 80 New York City educators attended a Saturday morning virtual “curriculum share” seminar where they could obtain tips to “get around censorship” while teaching students about the “Israeli occupation” and “ongoing genocide in Gaza.” The groups encouraged participants to consider using fake names or blurring their video out of paranoid fear of “conservative Zionist individuals” who have targeted the event and might “dox attendees.” The event sparked outrage this week among critics who slammed it as antisemitic and divisive.

    A group of women were at a seminar on how to live in a loving relationship with their husbands. The women were asked, "How many of you love your husband?" All the women raised their hands. Then they were asked, "When was the last time you told your husband you loved him?" Some women answered today, a few yesterday, and some couldn't remember. The women were then told to take out their cell phones and text their husband - "I love you, Sweetheart." Next the women were instructed to exchange phones with one another and read aloud the text message...

    According to the recent lawsuit, the seminar held by Alive Seminars in 2019 “quickly devolved into psychological abuse,” with instructors yelling and belittling attendees. Cellphone use was prohibited, there was no clock in the room, and the doors and windows were covered with black cloth during the seminar... One activity required participants to pretend they were on a sinking ship, where only four would survive. On July 13, the seminar’s third day, Spargifiore was made to strip down to her underwear in front of strangers and coworkers as part of what was billed as a trust-building exercise... ... taking turns...

    Yale University has found itself embroiled in controversy once again this year after English students complained that courses in the department were 'hostile' to students of color. Under the most fire is the Major English Poets course, a prerequisite for undergraduates in the major to study the works of at least seven major poets, all of whom are white men. An anonymous petition has demanded the department not only change the English 125/126 course, which has existed since 1920, but abolish it entirely. It also asks that the major's pre-1800/1900 requirements be changed to include literature relating to 'gender, race...

    The shameless media manipulators at the DNC have a new campaign designed to promote Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court. As with previous campaigns, the “Kagan for Justice Action Center” is run via a special website set up by Organizing for America. It encourages people to write letters to the editors of newspapers nationwide (And we can presume that, as before, local newspapers will publish DNC talking points without realizing it). What’s new is that the DNC is now branching out to Astroturf talk radio as well. Here’s how the page looks on their website:

    WASHINGTON – A government watchdog says the nation's space agency paid the out-of-this-world price of $66 a person a day for bagels, cookies and juice at a conference. The subject of the NASA seminar? It was a training session for its procurement officials — the people who do the buying with taxpayer funds. They were talking about how to determine reasonable prices. The NASA Inspector General said that during the three-day conference in Baltimore in 2008, the 317 attendees snacked on soda, coffee, fruit, bagels and cookies at a cost of more than $62,000.

No other liberal I know seems to know how to find one either. So I am thinking that maybe you are the ones to ask about them.</p>
