Review: “J’Accuse !”

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

    I found this letter absolutely shocking.  Not for the content, as I already knew the history of the Dreyfus Affair, but for the incredible way that Emile Zola denounces pretty much the entire French government, from the military to the President himself, as guilty of covering up the truth.  I did not know that Zola sent this letter to the Aurore knowing that publishing it was illegal, and would land him in mortal danger.  Very good reason for Fabienne B. to name her dog J’Accuse!!

Você sabe o que certo

“Uma mulher sempre sabe como ser incrível. Sim, ela aprende através de duras lições que nunca deve desistir de si e da vida. Apesar, dos muitos obstáculos, a mulher deve ousar; deve sobretudo ser corajosa para alinhar seu destino perante aquilo que ela acredita.”

Image se a mulher desistisse de lutar pelo o que ela acredita só por conta das adversidades? Mais ainda, se diante de um leito de hospital, não tivéssemos coragem de acreditar na vida? Cedo se aprende que aquilo que nos proíbem, ou por meios obscuros, tiram de nós, por acharem que não somos capazes, vira na maioria das situações, o motivo maior- de nossa luta. Todavia, é necessário saber o porquê e para quê, serve o desafio de lutarmos. É com o coração acalorado que faço essa pergunta: ” É importante lutar por tudo aquilo que a vida nos nega? Ora, sempre estamos diante do perigo…

Não é o ódio que vem vencendo a razão, é a sabedoria que tem cedido espaço para a ignorância. […] Se não fossemos tão desorganizados, talvez houvesse menos dificuldades para compreender a nossa incapacidade de percepção sobre muitos fatos ao mesmo tempo. Ora, é natural essa situação. Porém, resta dizer que parte das nossas convicções são abstrações. Estranho te que falar dessa maneira, mas a desordem é que alinha a nossa capacidade para enxergar as falhas; pelos menos, compreender o porquê de delas e querer alinhá-las. Fazendo isto, consequentemente, o desconforto do que antes nos incomodava, cessa.

Cape Elizabeth High School closed Friday because of COVID-19 outbreak – Portland Press Herald-Maine

Cape Elizabeth High School will be closed Friday so custodial staff can carry out a “deep cleaning” of the building, a step necessitated by a high rate of absenteeism linked to a COVID-19 outbreak that sent dozens of students and staff home sick.

The announcement by the Cape Elizabeth School District Thursday night followed an emergency meeting of the Cape Elizabeth School Board to consider making mask wearing mandatory at district schools.

While the board voted against imposing a mask mandate, board members voted 6-0 to “highly recommend masks” be worn in schools deemed to be in outbreak status by the Maine Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Recommending that masks be worn during a COVID outbreak represents a change from earlier this year when the board required masks be worn in schools during outbreaks.
