"There is a high school in Columbus, Ohio that offers a political radicalism class where actual radicals present to the students.

"There is a high school in Columbus, Ohio that offers a political radicalism class where actual radicals present to the students.
They have been providing this class to the students since 1975.
“Poli-rad students study each speaker ahead of time, gathering background and preparing questions,” AP reported about the class. “Afterward, teachers help them think critically about how factors such as deceptive language or personal charisma were used.“The teachers attribute the course’s success to a few key ground rules: Presenters must come from across the political spectrum, they can’t be censored, students must remain respectful and instructors can’t share their personal political beliefs.”
The idea is that by exposing students to political landmines they will most likely encounter in their lives, they will be equipped to react rationally to them.
If this class were to be proposed today — with the media exposure that we have had in regards to extremism and terrorism — it would be extremely difficult to develop it without pushback from parents and activist organizations.
...In actuality, it is more logical that exposure to different types of radical thoughts and ideologies in a safe and controlled environment can prove to be a strong preventative measure.
By allowing students and young people to hear opinions and belief systems from all points of view, including radical ones that can clearly involve extremely skewed idea, it can help open their minds and develop cognitive thinking..."

Fans of Best of the Web Today
Fans of Best of the Web Today--Matt Cederholm"Milton Friedman wrote a famous essay in which he posited that a model should not be judged by the validity of its assumptions, but by how well it predicts what happens in the real world.
On both, actually, climate models have failed abjectly.
The temperature trends lie well below the 5% projection, even when the models are refined. Arguments that the heat is "hiding in the ocean" or somesuch are a tacit admission that we don't understand the climate well enough.
They are an admission that the models failed.
Much of the climate change cult uses global warming as an excuse to restrain capitalism.
It is a religious movement based on expressions of faith such as "settled science."
Its goal is not to save the planet, but to institute socialism.
The proof of their intent is their objection to nuclear power, which is the superior choice on almost every margin.."

"When I first visited Venezuela in 2010, Hugo Chávez was still the country’s president.
Venezuela in those days wasn’t all bad.
I enjoyed sipping Scotch (the national drink of choice) in Carabobo and boating on the Orinoco River.
But I could tell that things were not going to end well.
“The reality of Chávez’s regime,” I wrote at the time, “is that it is a sham democracy. . . . Private property rights . . . are routinely violated.
Chávez nationalizes businesses more or less at will. . . . And, like so many tinpot dictators in Latin American history, he makes a mockery of the rule of law by changing the constitution to suit himself.”
Chávez died in 2013, but things have only gotten worse under his successor, Nicolás Maduro.
The Venezuelan economy has descended into the abyss of hyperinflation.
Despite having vast reserves of oil, the country’s power grid barely functions.
There are chronic shortages of food and medicine.
An estimated 3.4 million people have fled the country..."

Steele's stunning pre-FISA confession: Informant needed to air Trump dirt before election | TheHill
Steele's stunning pre-FISA confession: Informant needed to air Trump dirt before election | TheHill"If ever there were an admission that taints the FBI’s secret warrant to surveil Donald Trump’s campaign, it sat buried for more than 2 1/2 years in the files of a high-ranking State Department official.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec’s written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele’s now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s ties to Russia.
Steele’s client “is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8,” the date of the 2016 election, Kavalec wrote in a typed summary of her meeting with Steele and Tatyana Duran, a colleague from Steele’s Orbis Security firm. The memos were unearthed a few days ago through open-records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United.
Kavalec’s notes do not appear to have been provided to the House Intelligence Committee during its Russia probe, according to former Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.). "They tried to hide a lot of documents from us during our investigation, and it usually turns out there’s a reason for it," Nunes told me.
Senate and House Judiciary investigators told me they did not know about them, even though they investigated Steele’s behavior in 2017-18..."
