Re: Sattler College Turmoil

So how do universities rise in the rankings? By attracting students with higher test scores. And price is the easiest way for them to do that. Merit scholarships are simply a way that universities use to lower the price for the most qualified applicants to convince them to choose their school over ...

Turns out Ken is a Mennonite after all! Who'da thunk it?

Re: Iran - Israel War? Iran's state-run news agency says Iran has fired ballistic missiles at targets inside Israel

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Is it possible you've forgotten to account for the Mennonite Work Ethic® again? … Inconveniently, this particular Sattler graduate has never actually been a member of a Mennonite church, but I see no need to let that stop us from crediting all his success to his Mennoniteness. After all, like all p...

Re: War in Gaza

Is this true? https://www.israelam.com/israel-news-4-1-24/ According to the Israeli authority coordinating humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza, between 150 and 200 aid trucks enter Gaza every day. UN agencies and aid organizations operating in Gaza are unable to cope with the volume of supplies bro...

Re: William Penn

My argument is that if the welfare state didn’t exist, the civilians would be more likely to welcome migrants. Or at least be more apathetic. And if they were more welcoming to migrants, it wouldn’t be such an obtuse political football. And if it wasn’t such a political problem, maybe we would have...

Re: William Penn

By the standards of his time he was a pretty good guy. By 21st century standards, not so much. Imagine the outcry if some current government said: "We are going to take Ohio and dedicate it to settlement by foreign immigrants." All you Ohioans are going to have to pack your bags and go. W...

Re: The danger of “LGBT” teachers.

I think they are out of their lane when they are setting health policy and know nothing about the subject. We already have public health agencies, medical boards, and so forth whose job it actually is to do those things. Especially when by doing so they are infringing on personal and family autonom...
