On Campus, a Challenging Time for Free Speech and Empathy

November 4, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

Students at UMass Amherst march across campus following a walkout and rally protesting the university’s “ties with war profiteers,” while also calling for “a ceasefire and end of the blockade on Gaza.”

College and university campuses across the U.S. have seen polarization and unrest since the Israel-Hamas war began with the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, 2023. Students and faculty have held protests and rallies, argued on social media and signed statements, some of which have increased mistrust and turmoil on campus.

Kristallnacht, 85 Years Ago: Hitler’s Anti-Semitic Turning Point

November 2, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

The Boerneplatz synagogue in flames on Nov. 10, 1938, during the ‘Night of Broken Glass’ in Frankfurt, Germany.

Kristallnacht–the Night of Broken Glass–was the logical culmination of Hitler’s malevolent intentions going back many years before 1938. Seeing it that way allows us to view the two different kinds of antisemitism in Hitler’s thinking, one involving emotions and the other involving the law and reason. The latter foreshadowed the mass shooting squads and death camps of the early 1940s.

The Fascist Tradition Behind Trump’s Increasingly Violent Rhetoric

November 1, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 18 Comments

trump violent rhetoric

Former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric has regularly bordered on the incitement of violence. Lately, however, it has become even more violent. Yet both the press and the public have largely just shrugged their shoulders. This rhetoric may seem like crazy bluster. But put in its historical context, what Trump is doing is echoing views that are part of a long tradition of outright fascist thought. For fascists have always seen the use of violence as a virtue, not a vice.

Teachers Union Blisters School Board Over ‘Fiscal Irresponsibility’ and ‘Unjust Actions’ in Attorney’s Pending Firing

November 1, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 21 Comments

Beth Keer, the legal guardian of a student at Matanzas High School and a former human resources director for a national behavioral health organization, addressed the school board at its last meeting on Oct. 26, when it set the parameters of firing School Board attorney Kristy Gavin, without stating just cause. ". This is a high risk termination which could result in a claim of wrongful discharge, which could be in this particular case, I would say, in excess of a $500,000 claim or potentially an EEOC claim," Keer told the board. "It appears to me that it's a desire by some board members to terminate Ms. Gavin's contract not based on facts but rather based on personal agendas." (© FlaglerLive)

In a letter to her membership, Elisabeth Dias, president of the Flagler County Education Foundation, the teachers union, calls attention to what she terms the potential “wrongful termination” without due process of School Board Attorney Kristy Gavin, which would set a precedent and pose “a serious threat to the rights and well-being of our members, as well as the financial stability of our school district.”

How Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor Became Halloween’s Theme Song

In Bach’s era, the pipe organ was one of the world’s most technologically advanced instruments.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, is an organ work composed in the early 18th century. Most people today recognize it as a sonic icon of a certain type of fear: haunting and archaic, the kind of thing likely to be manufactured by someone – a ghost, perhaps – wearing a tuxedo and lurking in an abandoned mansion.

Drone footage of the aftermath of the Flagler Playhouse fire shows annihilating damage you cannot see from street level, with the entirety of the theater–the main building–as if systematically bombed through its nave. The multilayered roof of metal, asphalt shingles and wood has collapsed, melted from within. The iconic spire somehow kept standing at the front of the building, held up by metal trusses, though it’s a matter of time before it is removed.

Even under recent Supreme Court precedents, the Louisiana law may violate the establishment clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits the government from promoting religion.

Israel’s Gaza Campaign Risks Replicating U.S. in Iraq

When Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his presidential campaign in May, he proudly told the nation that Florida’s crime rate in 2021 had reached a 50-year low. But really, DeSantis couldn’t say for sure. That’s because fewer than 1 in 10 law enforcement agencies in his state had reported their crime statistics to the FBI.

They founded Temple Beth Shalom, which bills itself not as a Conservative or a Reform temple, but rather an egalitarian, independent house of worship. This weekend, it celebrates its 50th anniversary in Palm Coast.

Since 9/11, two billion Muslims globally have faced collective punishment. Constructed as folk devils who imperil western societies, Muslims have been framed as inextricably linked with the support and promotion of violence. When these racist narratives are espoused by politicians, they falsely equate the support of Palestinian people with support for terrorism and instill fear and moral panic about the Muslim presence in this country and elsewhere.

Traditionally, antisemitism in the United States was promoted by far-right organizations and movements, such as the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazi groups and skinheads. More recently, progressive and left-leaning movements that are critical of Israel’s policies – especially with regard to the Palestinian population in the territories occupied by Israel in 1967 – have become linked to antisemitic practices.

In the early, pre-web days of the social internet, decisions about the spaces people gathered in online were often made by members of the community.
