The View From Across The Pond | Filosofa’s Word

Our friends across the pond often see our situation more clearly than we do.  I think of that old adage “Can’t see the forest for the trees.”  Our friend Roger is, as always, spot on in his assessment and this time he shares with us his thoughts on “The Verdict” from Thursday evening and the aftermath.  Thank you, as always, Sir Roger!

कुछ ख्वाब / Some Dreams  – Kaushal Kishore

 

कुछ ख्वाब मेरे दिल के इतने करीब होते हैं 

कि देखना चाहता हूं उन्हें मैं बार बार, 

पर वे भी गायब हो जाते हैं अक्सर

एक बेवफा माशूका की तरह…

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

Some dreams I hold so dear, 

I yearn to keep them near…

But like a fleeting, faithless lover, 

they often disappear…

Idaho: High School Graduate Offers Banned Book to Superintendent at Commencement | Diane Ravitch’s blog

An Idaho high school graduate staged an unusual form of protest at her graduation when she offered a book to the school district’s superintendent, who had banned it months earlier.

Annabelle Jenkins was one of 44 graduates to have her name called during the Idaho Fine Arts Academy graduation ceremony on May 23.

After she shook hands with administrators on the stage, Jenkins paused in front of West Ada School District Superintendent Derek Bub and pulled out “The Handmaid’s Tale” from the sleeve of her graduation gown.

Bub stood firm with his arms crossed and declined the book, leaving Jenkins to drop it at his feet as she moved across the stage.

The graphic novel version, written by Margaret Atwood and Renee Nault, was one of 10 the school district banned from its libraries earlier in the academic year over its graphic imagery, deemed unsuitable for the student body.

I hope that Annabelle read the full text version of the book, in addition to the banned graphic novel.
