    Kids Must Learn History to Avoid Being Gaslighted by Media1

    Growing up, history was one of my favorite school subjects. This might come as a surprise to some.

    Kids and Sexuality: Enough Is Enough0

    Stop. No, that’s not enough. To paraphrase “the girl” in Hemingway’s story “Hills Like White Elephants,” “Would you please please please please please please please stop?” Second-graders at a swimming pool should not be placed in an adult changing room.
