Privacy Isn’t In the Constitution. But It’s Everywhere in Constitutional Law.

June 19, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

Who’s allowed to watch what you do and say? (Shannon Fagan/The Image Bank via Getty Images)

For half a century, the Supreme Court has recognized privacy as an outgrowth of protections for individual liberty. This implied right is the source of many of the nation’s most cherished, contentious and commonly used rights – including the right to have an abortion.

Anti-Trans Legislation and Lawsuits Are Pushing back Against Chosen Pronouns

June 18, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 5 Comments

Trans student rights often hang in the balance.

It’s a disquieting trend: The right of trans students to be free from discrimination is tenuous at best and under constant legal attack. The Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal group, is behind much of the anti-trans legislation in the U.S.

How Mike Pence’s Unremarkable Actions on Jan. 6 Saved the Nation

June 17, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 21 Comments

Vice President Mike Pence returned to the House chamber to finish the process of counting the electoral votes in the early morning of Jan. 7, 2021.

New revelations from the congressional committee investigating the events on and leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol show the crucial role then-Vice President Mike Pence played in thwarting the insurrection – and reveal the principles behind his actions.

Blaspheming Human Rights: The Hypocrisy at the Core of Authoritarian Muslim Nations

June 16, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 6 Comments

While Many Muslim nations howl at perceived blasphemy about Prophet Muhammad, authoritarianism in the Muslim world has tragic consequences for Muslim minorities in India and elsewhere. Muslim governments’ short-term, emotional reactions to some defamation cases do not help improve the conditions of Muslim minorities, who actually need a more consistent and principled support.

There Is No One ‘Religious View’ on Abortion

June 15, 2022 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

/protesters abortion religion

One in four Americans who have had abortions are Catholic, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which advocates for reproductive health. It’s a clear reminder of the complex relationship between any religious tradition’s teachings and how people actually live out their beliefs.

Inflation Is Spiking. Can the Fed Raise Interest Rates Without Spiking Unemployment, Too?

June 14, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

Consumers are perhaps feeling inflation pain most at the pump. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)

Economists fear that raising rates too fast and too steeply would likely put the brakes on economic growth, resulting in an economic recession and soaring unemployment. An economist who studies inflation believes there are several reasons the Fed can more fiercely fight inflation without worrying so much about unemployment.

Blaming ‘Evil’ Is Not Enough

June 13, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

A visitor pays respects at a memorial created outside Robb Elementary School to honor the victims killed in the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Evil is one of the most complex and paradoxical words in the English language. It can galvanize collective action but also lead to collective paralysis, as if the presence of evil can’t be helped. As a philosopher studying moral concepts and their role in communication, I find it essential to scrutinize this word.

Did the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban Diminish Mass Shootings? Yes.

June 12, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 17 Comments

The risk of a person in the U.S. dying in a mass shooting was 70% lower during the period in which the assault weapons ban was active. The proportion of overall gun homicides resulting from mass shootings was also down, with nine fewer mass-shooting-related fatalities per 10,000 shooting deaths.

Crowded Primaries Are Good for Extremists, Bad for Voters

June 11, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 5 Comments

In the 2020 presidential primaries, the Democrats began the season with 28 candidates. By July 31, 2019, at a debate in Detroit, there were 10 candidates. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

Each additional candidate who gets votes lowers the number of votes needed to secure a nomination. The outcomes of primaries with many candidates are unpredictable and may result in extreme, inexperienced or controversial nominees who may not truly represent a majority of voters. And a fringe candidate winning the primary and advancing to the general election can mean a risky candidate for their party.

To Get Safe Schools, Mental Health Resources Are Critical

June 10, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

School counselors like Jacquelyn Indrisano, left, can help students feel welcome and safe at school.

School violence prevention requires professionals – counselors, psychologists and social workers – who know how to create an emotionally safe environment, which research shows is critical to safe schools. There is a critical shortage of such employees.

Antarctica’s Riskiest Glacier Is Losing Its Grip

Antarctica is a continent comprising several large islands, one of them the size of Australia, all buried under a 10,000-foot-thick layer of ice. The ice holds enough fresh water to raise sea level by nearly 200 feet. You don’t want its glaciers melting. They are.

The Legal Age to Buy Assault Weapons Doesn’t Make Sense

June 8, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 25 Comments

A boy examines a gun at the National Rifle Association annual convention on May 28, 2022, in Houston.

Considering someone an adult once they turn 18 is a relatively recent trend, and it’s not clear that it can stand up to public scrutiny as a meaningful threshold for legally purchasing firearms.

Meh Confidence: What It Means for Boris Johnson and Conservatives

June 7, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 6 Comments

The history of such confidence votes in Conservative leaders tells us that they almost always end up damaging both the leader and the party even when they support the incumbent. We have seen this happening on three successive occasions over the past 32 years.

Why the NRA Is So Successful at Stopping Gun-Safety Legislation

June 6, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 15 Comments

nra successful blocking legislation

NRA has vigorously rejected any charge that its policies contribute to America’s gun problem, instead advancing proposals such as improving mental health responses, “hardening” schools with increased security, and potentially even arming teachers, which leaders claim, without evidence and against educators’ wishes, can serve as a deterrent.

‘Napalm Girl’ at 50: How Media Myths Distort an Image’s Reality and Exaggerate Its Impact

June 5, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 8 Comments

The Pulitzer Prize-winning “Napalm Girl” photograph by Nick Ut of terror-stricken Vietnamese children fleeing an aerial attack on their village, taken 50 years ago this month, has rightly been called “a picture that doesn’t rest.” But the image formally known as “The Terror of War” has also given rise to tenacious media-driven myths.

‘Severance’ and the Folly of the Work-Life Balance

June 4, 2022 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

The TV show ‘Severance’ has employees separate their work self from their home self completely. (Apple TV+)

Imagining work as separate from home life has its roots in the Anglo-American suburban model: drive along newly built highways to the downtown office in the morning and retreat home to family in the suburban idyll. But the TV show Severance’s dystopian message mimics today’s all-encompassing digital capitalism: there is no escape.

How Assault-Style Rifles and Ammunition Kill and Maim

June 3, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 23 Comments

An AR-15 assault rifle.

The AR-15 usually fires a version of the ammunition used by many NATO soldiers to kill enemy troops. As shown in Texas, and many other mass shootings, that ammunition is also extremely effective at harming civilians. The Texas killer purchased 1,600 rounds of the ammunition.

Québec’s Dangerous Bill 32 on ‘Academic Freedom’

June 2, 2022 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

In addition to undermining the autonomy of universities and faculty, and creating myriad implementation problems, the bill blurs the important distinctions between free expression and academic freedom. Most troubling, it signals that politicians are turning academic freedom into a political weapon.

Why Are So Many Americans Fixated on England’s Monarchy?

June 1, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

Polling backs it up – Americans really do look favorably on Queen Elizabeth II.

In America, Elizabeth retains approval ratings that would leave most political leaders envious. No royal family from any other nation has induced the same level of scrutiny or celebration. But British royals have been eliciting similar responses on American shores for the past 150 years.

Mass Shootings Are a Boon to Firearms Stocks

May 31, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 6 Comments

trading on tragedy gun stocks and mass shootings

A week on, and the market rally of gun stocks following the latest mass shooting hasn’t subsided. That’s been the case with recent mass shootings–but it contrasts with shootings a decade or more ago, when gun companies’ share prices would fall.

Memorial Day’s Forgotten History

Memorial Day was born in the former Confederate States in 1866 and adopted by the United States in 1868. Cities and towns across America have for more than a century claimed to be the holiday’s birthplace, but we have sifted through the myths and half-truths and uncovered the authentic story of how this holiday came into being.

Roadside Safety Messages Distract Drivers and Increase Crashes

May 29, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

A roadside dynamic messaging sign in Texas, displaying the death toll from road crashes.

A study showed there were two to three per cent more crashes within one to 10 kilometres downstream of each dynamic message sign during the week fatality messages were shown. This suggests that this specific behavioral intervention backfired.

Arming Teachers: Risks and a False Sense of Security

May 28, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 11 Comments

Even trained police officers often miss their target during gunfights.

There are documented incidents of school staff using their firearm to neutralize a shooter. However, researchers have not found evidence that arming teachers increases school safety. Rather, arming teachers may contribute to a false sense of security for teachers, students and the community, when even highly trained police in gunfights hit their target only 18% of the time.

Yes, Muslims Are Portrayed Negatively in American Media

The warm welcome Americans and Europeans have given Ukrainians in 2022 contrasts sharply with the uneven – and frequently hostile – policies toward Syrian refugees in the mid-2010s. Negative opinions on Muslims were mostly influenced by what they heard and read in the media, which projects “stereotypic beliefs, negative emotions and support for harmful policies” toward Muslim Americans.

The NRA’s Evolution from Gun-Control Advocacy to Anti-Restriction Zealotry

May 26, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 19 Comments

NRA conventiongoers, like these at the gun group’s 2018 big meeting, browse firearms exhibits.

Despite the proximity in time and location to the Texas shooting, the NRA is proceeding with its plans to hold its annual convention in Houston on May 27-29, 2022. The featured speakers include former President Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican.

After Mass Shootings, Federal Gun Control Fails and States Loosen Regulations

May 25, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 18 Comments

A girl cries outside the Willie de Leon Civic Center in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, 2022.

Congress has declined to pass significant new gun legislation after dozens of shootings, including those that occurred during periods like this one, with Democrats controlling the House of Representatives, Senate and presidency. States have been more active, but mass shootings do not regularly cause lawmakers to tighten gun restrictions.

Did Biden Just Commit U.S. Forces to Defending Taiwan? Probably Not.

May 24, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 3 Comments

Pondering a shift in strategy on Taiwan? Possibly not.

The comment, which Biden made during a trip to Japan, was taken by some observers as a deviation from the official U.S. line on Taiwan, in place for decades. But officials in Washington walked back that interpretation, saying instead that it only referred to military assistance.

Beyond Media Spectacles: The Nuances of Domestic Violence Behind Heard v. Depp Trial

May 23, 2022 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

depp trial

The spotlight of the Heard-Depp trial affords the opportunity to openly discuss the nuances of intimate partner violence, or domestic violence, that are often overlooked and perhaps may empower some victims to feel less alone. However, many have consumed the trial as a form of entertainment, exposing a tendency of online observers to armchair-label the parties involved either as the “real” victim or perpetrator of abuse. IPV is experienced by an estimated 6.6 million women and 5.8 million men each year in the U.S.

Appealing to Trump May Work in Primaries, But Not as Much in the General Election

May 22, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 9 Comments

The doctor is in … with Trump, at least.

Republican candidates’ hitching their wagon to Trump and Trumpism raises a question about the tried-and-tested plan of candidates’ appealing to the party base in the primary before pivoting closer to the center in the general election: Will that post-primary transformation be possible for Republicans in 2022?

Whataboutism: Behind the Deflecting Tactic in Arguments

Whataboutism is an argumentative tactic where a person or group responds to an accusation or difficult question by deflection. Instead of addressing the point made, they counter it with “but what about X?”

Buffalo Mass Shooter Threatened a Shooting While in High School. Could More Have Been Done?

May 20, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

Many mass shooters show signs of distress before their attack.

Accused mass-shooter Payton S. Gendron’s story is not unlike the dozens of stories that typify one of the biggest challenges that schools face when it comes to averting school shootings – and in the case of Buffalo, mass shootings in general. And that challenge is recognizing and acting upon warning signs that mass shooters almost always give well before they open fire.

Intermittent Fasting to lose Weight? Here’s What the Science Says.

May 19, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

feast time intermittent fasting

Numerous studies have shown that the weight reduction from intermittent fasting diets is no greater than the weight loss on a standard calorie-restricted diet. There are no studies on the long-term safety and efficacy of following this type of diet. And studies show that intermittent fasters don’t get enough of certain nutrients.

The Loop Current is the 800-pound gorilla of Gulf hurricane risks. When the Loop Current reaches this far north this early in the hurricane season – especially during what’s forecast to be a busy season – it can spell disaster for folks along the Northern Gulf Coast, from Texas to Florida.

How Media Reports of ‘Clashes’ Mislead Americans About Israeli-Palestinian Violence

May 17, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 3 Comments

When does a ‘clash’ become an ‘assault’? (AP Photo/Maya Levin)

In a recurring pattern of crudely biased media coverage in the United States, there is no mention in headlines about who instigated the violence between Israeli forces and Palestinian mourners, nor any hint of the power imbalance between a heavily armed Israeli police force and what appeared to be unarmed Palestinian civilians.

Mass Shootings Are Increasing, Becoming Deadlier, and 13% Are Targeting Minorities

May 16, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 8 Comments

Racial hatred is a factor in 13% of mass shootings at grocery stores. John

Mass public shootings in which four or more people are killed have become more frequent, and deadly, in the last decade. And the tragedy in Buffalo is the latest in a recent trend of mass public shootings taking place in retail establishments, similar to an August 2019 shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. On that occasion, the 21-year-old white suspect posted a racist rant on social media before allegedly driving some distance to intentionally target racial and ethnic minority shoppers.

Video Games May Boost Your Child’s Intelligence

May 15, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 2 Comments

Many parents feel guilty when their children play video games for hours on end. But a new study points to evidence of a beneficial, causal effect of video games on intelligence. For example, a child who was in the top 17% in terms of hours spent gaming increased their IQ about 2.5 points more than the average child over two years.

The Ethics of ‘Personhood’ in the Abortion Debate

May 14, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 10 Comments

Debate about abortion is often a debate about rights – but whose?

Current constitutional law grants a right to have an abortion until a fetus becomes viable – in other words, until there is a reasonable probability it could survive outside the womb with care. Today, this typically occurs between the 22nd and 24th weeks of pregnancy. But “what is a person?” How people answer this question shapes how they think about a developing human being.

A Fraction of Crops Goes to Feed the Hungry as Most Are Used for Nonfood Purposes

Rising competition for many of the world’s important crops is sending increasing amounts toward uses other than directly feeding people. These competing uses include making biofuels; converting crops into processing ingredients, such as livestock meal, hydrogenated oils and starches; and selling them on global markets to countries that can afford to pay for them.

Tucker Carlson’s Masculinity Crisis

Tucker Carlson’s central premise is that modern society has devitalized American men. Strength, drive and aggression are no longer in vogue, and Americans, as a result, are become weaker. Carlson’s claims as part of a rich heritage of skeptics shouting from the rooftops that American men are becoming devitalized, lazy and effeminate.

‘White Privilege’? The Accusation Is Not Constructive.

May 11, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 9 Comments

A protestor holds a sign reading ‘White Privilege Is The Problem’ at a rally against policy brutality and racial injustice in New York on Sept. 5, 2020.

Though these words are commonly used, use of “white privilege” can decrease support for racially progressive policies, increase online political polarization and lead to lower quality conversations on social media. In particular, the term drives some whites who would otherwise support efforts toward racial equality away from online conversations.

Fentanyl: What is It, and Why Buying Any Street Drug Is Now Russian Roulette

May 10, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 8 Comments

Only a small amount of fentanyl is enough to be lethal.

Buying drugs on the street is a game of Russian roulette. From Xanax to cocaine, drugs or counterfeit pills purchased in nonmedical settings may contain life-threatening amounts of fentanyl.

In April, officials at Disney objected to a Florida law prohibiting instruction in sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded by signing a bill revoking Disney’s self-governing status, a unique arrangement in which the company operated like an independent fiefdom within the state.

The Cleveland Indians Changed Their Name. Should the Atlanta Braves?

It wasn’t until 2018 that the Indians officially removed their logo, a cartoonish Native American named Chief Wahoo, from merchandise, and in 2020 that they changed their name. The Atlanta Braves’ owners, however, have dug in their heels, refusing to replace a name that many Americans – including Native Americans – find offensive and derogatory.

A white woman named Clare Coss wrote the libretto, or text, for the opera, which she based on an award-winning play she had written called “Emmett, Down in My Heart” in 2015. Critics claim the opera elevates the guilt of white audiences while capitalizing on Black trauma.

All Those Fitness Trackers Have Reduced Mobility, Not Improved It

May 4, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

Since the mid-1990s, people have been doing less and less walking or bicycling to work and school and spending a lot more time staring at screens

The manufacturers of these devices certainly want consumers to believe that tracking fitness or health-related behaviors will spur them on to increase their activity levels and make them healthier. Analysis of research published over the past 25 years suggests otherwise.

How Roe v. Wade Changed the Lives of American Women

May 3, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 9 Comments

With the availability of a greater range of contraception and abortion drugs other than medical procedures available today, along with a strong demand for women’s labor in the U.S. economy, it seems unlikely that women’s status will ever go back to where it was before 1973. But Americans shouldn’t forget the role that Roe v. Wade played in advancing the lives of women.

A Recession Ahead Is Likelier Than a Soft Landing

By raising interest rates, the Fed is hoping to achieve a “soft landing” for the U.S. economy, taming inflation without causing unemployment to rise or triggering a recession. Research suggests that engineering a soft landing is highly improbable and that there is a significant likelihood of a recession in the not too distant future.

Before he died, iconic physicist Stephen Hawking was outspoken about the danger of contacting aliens with superior technology. He argued that they could be malign and if given Earth’s location, might destroy humanity. Others see no extra risk.
