A belief system (secular or religious) that needs to sit in the padded walls of an echo chamber protected against all opposition is a fragile faith on life-support that’s about to die.

Normalize building with LEGO bricks during long meetings.

Can we put this into perspective for a second? Ignoring all of the implications of “I *also* have a gun”, this incident went through two residential areas, past three public parks, then sat at one of the longest lights in Deptford before passing the mall, and ended at a Walmart.

I think it reflects accurately on my day that 10 minutes before the end, I had to have two freshman honors students march a third down to the nurse because he game himself a bad puncture with a stapler and refused to clean it up. #SubLife #TeacherLife

Of course, we still have peasants and serfs today; we just market it differently. One resents being called “essential” far less than being called “peasant”.

And then our 19-month-old came up and thanked me so sweetly for putting scratch pads on the wall.

If you haven't guessed from my bio, I was a theatre-band kid.

[Rob Cook @robertncook]

It is 8:45 in the morning, and the 8th graders are already in fierce debate over whether #band kids or #theatre kids are weirder.

The obvious answer is the combination theatre-band kids, but these students don't yet know you can do more than one thing.

Constructive debates require intellectual honesty, and intellectual honesty forces us to admit things that don't always immediately help our cause.

Credibility is currency in public discourse, and American partisans have bankrupted themselves by dismissing inconvenient truths.

[The AND Campaign @AndCampaign]

Political messaging often aims at dumbing down complex realities. A clever but dishonest slogan can reduce a difficult matter into a black and white moral question.

Critique partisan messaging before you allow it to enrage or discourage you. Pray and study for discernment. (&)

The Court of Public Opinion will only ever call for blood. It knows no other sentence.

[Raymond Chang @tweetraychang]

You can love the United States and admit it’s flaws. The country won’t fall apart by admitting to its failures and shortcomings. In fact, the country will only get better as a result of addressing them.

Idolatry will blind you from reality.
