Schools 'too safe' teachers say

Nearly half of teachers questioned for a survey believe the health and safety culture in schools is damaging children's learning.

When questioned by Teachers TV, teachers complained about a five-page briefing on using glue sticks and being told to wear goggles to put up posters.

Others said pupils were not allowed to enjoy the sun or snow without taking health and safety precautions.

Teachers TV surveyed 585 subscribers to the channel by questionnaire...

Michigan Supreme Court gives judges right to ban hijab

After months of debate, the Michigan Supreme Court voted to allow judges to force witnesses to remove headscarfs and other forms of face covering while in the courtroom. The controversy arose after a Muslim woman had her lawsuit dismissed by a state judge after refusing to remove her hijab, claiming it was forbidden by her religion...

I assume by Hijab it means face covering veils and not covering the hair?

But even there, seems spurious.

Jama'at Islami terrorising Pakistan?

Well, that seems to be the accusation from an opposing Political party which itself has been accused of committing acts of terrorism.

Yesterday, the Pakistani police arrested/broadcast the testimony of one of the lahore attackers and from what I hear (but have not read), he is supposed to implicated the Jama'at Islami with the Taliban.

They are ofcourse the party that has been most reluctant to condemn the taliban, so there may be truth or it may be a pot calling the kettle black (but maybe they recognise each other?).

Thoughts?

I was just reading this:

So let's take one important period in British history and see how historians might tell the story in different ways without, of course, getting the facts wrong. See if you can guess what the viewpoints are in each version.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE EMPIRE

The golden age of the Tudors brought unity to a divided England and peace with Scotland. The arts flourished - Shakespeare, Holbein, Purcell - and reflected the vigour and pride of a bold and brave people.

Henry VIII stood up to Rome and his glorious daughter Elizabeth saw off the might of the Spanish empire. English seafarers roamed the world, discovering new routes and laying the foundations for the British Empire.

Netanyahu seeks 'demilitarised Palestine'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced he will back a Palestinian state - but only if it is completely demilitarised.

He said a Palestinian state must accept the existence of Israel and must have no army, no control of its air space and no way of smuggling in weapons...

Read just a little bit more @ BBC News

(I think you can safely replace "no way of smuggling in weapons" with "No border control")

As they say, proof is in the pudding (do they say that?).
