The world would be a better place if everyone stopped what they were doing and read this book tomorrow.

University of Utah student Sean Taylor does not believe in freedom of speech. And the constitution is no longer relevant.

“I don’t think he should speak,” the student organizer said. When the interviewer pointed out that such a position is not in line with the First Amendment, the protester replied, “I don’t care.”
“I don’t care...I don’t think that’s, like, a relevant document right now,” the student demonstrator added."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Redbook/Cosmopolitan says its bad to allow your daughter to dress up as Moana for Halloween.
http://www.redbookmag.com/life/mom-k...ostume-racist/Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

http://www.redbookmag.com/life/mom-k...ostume-racist/One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

The original article, written by Sachi Feris, discusses how her white daughter was torn between dressing as Elsa, from Frozen, or the titular character from Moana. Feris expresses concern that while an Elsa costume might reinforce notions of white privilege, dressing up as Moana is essentially cultural appropriation — the act of reducing someone's culture to stereotypes, and thereby belittling it.
