A day in the life of a grade two classroom

Storified by Jonathan So · Wed, May 07 2014 15:54:35

What a great day for learning.  The students, as always, at their finest.  Today students improved their reading.  Ask your son or daughter what level they are at.  We also did more work around our favourite books and working on our multiplication. Have a look.
I actually started the day earlier with another video on multiplication.  Take a look at that first.  Some good discussion points with your child built in.
Here is what our language block looked like.

Outsourcing: The Moral Debate

$

Viewed through the lenses of Jean-Paul Sartre and Jeremy Bentham

Storified by matthewjahn · Thu, May 08 2014 16:25:16

Jean-Paul Sartre was the leading philosopher in existentialism. Existentialism is "a philosophical and literary movement that focuses on the uniqueness of the individual as distinguished from abstract universal human qualities. This movement was defined by Sartre as "existence precedes essence" meaning that humans create themselves through free choices and are responsible for who they are" (Chaffee 203).

Jean-Paul Sartre would have a problem with outsourcing. Outsourcing is a problem because the choice to move a company is not universally good. What this means is the choice to move some people lose their jobs. Although Sartre believed that we are in charge of our own destiny, morally the decisions we make are decisions that others should make as well. When you move a company overseas some people lose their jobs, which in turn makes it hard to feed their families, pay the mortgage etc.. If outsourcing opened jobs where the factories were closing and opened jobs in the other countries, then this would be a  different debate for Sartre. It is not a universally good move to outsource companies.

Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher who developed the "moral theory" of utilitarianism (Chaffee 507). Utilitarianism is "the view that we should act to promote the greatest amount of happiness (and create the least amount of suffering possible) for the greatest number of people" (Chaffee 507)

Bentham would had a hard time addressing the topic of outsourcing. In one way it does help a set of people. It promotes education in countries where education is not the most important. It supplies jobs, and puts money in peoples pockets who are willing to work jobs others will not. However even in those countries where it is promoting education and giving jobs it is still changing the culture of those places. This however is not a bad thing, just new. On the other hand though it takes jobs from people where those factories use to be. Those people then can not put food on their tables, can not pay the bills, and enter the dangerous game of debt. To Bentham it truly would be a numbers game. Does it help more people to move, or does it hurt more people. Which helped (or did not hurt) the most people would be the one Bentham would accept morally.

Outsourcing is a tough subject in today's society. It is an action that for as many cons there are an equal amount of pros. Although it effects people in our country, there are great gains in countries like India. The main problem both of these philosophers would have is how these business are chasing the almighty dollar. Companies are not going over seas to help other countries, they are moving overseas for cheaper labor. Cheaper labor cheaper over head, that makes for more money. The more money made, the happier investors are. It again is a vicious cycle, all revolving around maximizing profit.

"Anti-Zionists" gleefully use neo-Nazi material

$

We are frequently told that the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign has nothing to do with racism. In fact, they say they are seriously against racism and in particular antisemitism. The reality is very different.

Storified by Soupy One · Fri, May 09 2014 16:20:13

It is comparatively easy to find supporters of BDS (those who wish to boycott Israelis and no one else in the world) in close proximity to neo-Nazi tracts, dubious antisemitic guff or neo-Nazis on social media, as the examples show below:
Using a neo-Nazis' cartoons
I Have No White Guilt * What are you going to do when no one gives a fuck... · neonationalist
That particular material comes from a nasty neo-Nazi, the give-away is his self-description and the Germanic eagle on his blog. Even students at Vassar College should know that by now.
His about: "I'm white, heterosexual, male and I think that's awesome. I'm rather proud of it, in fact. I'm proud of the long line of awesome white people that I come from. I prefer the company of white people. I won't date a girl that isn't white. Obviously, I want my kids to be white. I made this blog because tumblr is full of people who'd love to see me dead for these beliefs of mine and I find that hilarious. So, I'm here to shower these types with cited facts and logic that ruins their psychotically delusional little post-modern world view. Lets have some fun, shall we?"
So either SJP at Vassar College deliberately used material from an obvious neo-Nazi (with the most vile of racial views) or they were stupid and didn’t understand where it was coming from. 

Which is it?

But that was not a simple one-off incident. SJP at Vassar College seem to have a taste for antisemites and their material,
Linking to White Supremacists
That is an extract from the Occidental Quarterly, essentially White Supremacists with PhDs. Yuck. 
When challenged they defend their use of it.

Southern Poverty Law Center describe Occidental Quarterly, "Its editors and advisory board members have constituted a "Who's Who" of the radical right, and its regular publication of extremists' articles has made it a favorite among academic racists in America."
Retweeting another neo-Nazi
Previously, this SJP Twitter account has chosen to retweet material from another neo-Nazi.
@aschops @IDFSpokesperson #mostmoralarmy in the world using kids as human shields http://t.co/Wf1ydhl5lC · otto skorzeny
Had students at Vassar College been able to use Wikipedia they would know that Otto Skorzeny is the name of one of Hitler's favourites. He was a fanatical Nazi. 

So why did BDSers should chose to use another neo-Nazi's material? 

A pattern? Shared loathing? Common purpose? Hmm.
Covering their tracks
Subsequently, SJP at Vassar College tried to delete the material, but were stupid enough to leave traces all over the place.
