If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       Fox News and the NRA's Vision for American Schools Is Guns and Fear   On Thursday night, NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch appeared on Fox News, where she argued that we should completely redesign school systems to account for the idea that anyone could have a gun and decide to go on a violent rampage at any moment. Like, your child should have to pass through numerous highly secure checkpoints to get to algebra class. They should be aware, constantly, that they are at risk of horrific injury or death while studying. There is no room, anymore, for schools to be a calm and nurturing environment that helps children grow into the greatest version of themselves. This is about survival, and the only solution is more guns.

The Future Is in It.   On the day on which the House of Representatives changed hands, and on a day on which the halls of the Congress were alive with the various sounds of children of all ages, including the adult ones, the most remarkable thing I saw was a thick wooden table, on which was an assortment of books. There were no less than seven versions of the Bible, from the Catholic Douay version, to the Eastern Orthodox, to an assortment of King James editions, to the African-American Heritage Bible. There were two copies of the Tanakh. There was a Qu'ran. There was a Hindu Veda and a Buddhist Sura. There were two copies of the United States Constitution. If you were a member of the House waiting to take your constitutionally mandated oath, this table had you covered. The books on the table were silent witnesses to an altogether remarkable day.
