Beware Bipartisanship. Most recently it got us the quiet rush to pull the teeth from the STOCK (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act. And TARP, PATRIOT Act, TSA, . . .
Remember these weren't cuts. These were postponements in projected increases.

Ideas are too important to be left in the hands of the State. That is the essence of the 1st Amendment. It would not be a story if this school were not a Government School.
Always ask: Would this story about schools be a story if the school were not a Government School? The World of Ideas is too important to be left in the hands of the State. That is the essence of the 1st Amendment.

Would this story even exist if schools were not Government schools? Always ask that question about any school news. You'll be surprised. The World of Ideas is too important to be trusted to the State. That is the essence of the 1st Amendment.

"Retropspective Prediction" All fun aside, despite the tortured English, the term does have a meaning. It means you have a theory or hypothesis and some existing data that you can apply it to rather than go design a new experiment or wait for the future to unfold. Then you look at that historical data to see if your theory accurately predicted the correlations (& maybe even, cause&effect) or not.
"Retrospective Prediction"? I retrospectively predict that Obama won the election last fall.
