Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Hi, I was reading through the latest Time magazine when I came across an ad from the Office of National Drug Policy Partnership for a Drug-Free America...whose punch line is Parents: the Anti-Drug... So, let's see - Nancy Reagan's "just say no" didn't work and then everybody's darling DARE didn't work - "scientifically proven to provide no information about future drug use among kids who had DARE" - and even the DARE people have owned up that the 1/2 billion or so spent every year on DARE didn't work...so NOW, it's parents who are responsible for keeping our kids off drugs... However, Margaret can't decide what her kids wear to school; I can't see the tests that our kids are given - super secret you know; etc. etc. What is wrong with this picture????
