Not true. We've all seen the nudes you post.- The Perpetual War on Christmas. 2024 battles
Some of us socialize with those whose faiths differ from ours. I'm Episcopalian. However, half of my family is Jewish, as are several of my close friends and colleagues. Imposing "Merry Christmas" on someone who I know to be of another faith is not being evangelical. It is being rude and insensitive, and it reflects a view their faith is not worthy of recognition. But that's just me.- 2024 Golf: Not even God can hit a 1-iron

The interview is worth a listen. I don't suspect there's anything in it you didn't already know or suspect, but hearing confirmation from someone who's devoted decades to researching the whole thing was quite interesting. Also, he started out as a proponent for vouchers, but over time seeing the results (and then the subsequent bastardization of the process through expansion of programs to support more and more private schools) led him to become a vocal opponent.

I happened to catch a little bit of Kris Boyd's "Think" last night on NPR: The politics of school vouchers Despite hard evidence that they [don't] work, school voucher programs are still gaining steam. Josh Cowen, professor of education policy at Michigan State University, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why "school choice" is such a hot-button issue, the influential people behind its growth, and why this push is signaling distrust of public schools. His book is "The Privateers: How Billionaires Created a Culture War and Sold School Vouchers." One of the takeaways from his research was that there is a direct correlation between spending and improvement of outcomes with public education (from test score performance to later life successes, health, and reduced crime); whereas while school voucher "competition" does have a history of marginal improvement, if the money diverted to vouchers was instead directly investedto the schools it would increase the improvement exponentially.

Indeed. I do think they've done a good job of adapting the original story to a more current timeline, but the story line with the MI6 agent's husband seems completely unnecessary. I'm only through episode 5 so far, but enjoying the ride.- The official “I’m on Bluesky” thread
