Rick McKee, Counterpoint.

Today at the editor’s glance: The school board holds a legally required special meeting at 9 a.m. to close out its financial books on the Year of Covid 2020-21. No surprises expected. The African American Cultural Society hosts a Luau featuring Rob’s Jazz Express Band, starting at 4 p.m. And the Democrats hold their weekly Blue 22 Forum also at AACS, but at 12:30. Bring your own brown-bag lunch. Rocket Man’s Farewell: Ex-Flagler County Administrator Jerry cameron’s farewell tour risks taking longer than Elton John’s. After his beatification at a county commission meeting earlier this month and his beatification last week, followed by a hagiographical PR release he was given another farewell Monday, with gifts and a lot of back-patting, some of which he secured in his last meeting by giving county staff a paid day off Friday, in addition to their paid day off next Monday, just because. Cameron’s fiscal acumen was never his forte. Here are a few shots from Monday:

The Tour de France‘s 5th stage today is all about individual time trials between Change and Laval Espace Mayenne. Euro 2020: The teams take a couple of days off before two quarterfinal matches Friday.

“The adoption of attitudes which the right sneers at as “politically correct” has made America a far more civilized society than it was thirty years ago. Except for a few Supreme Court decisions, there has been little change for the better in our country’s laws since the Sixties. But the change in the way we treat one another has been enormous.”81 And in the next page: “ The American Academy has done as much to overcome sadism during the last thirty years as it did to overcome selfishness in the previous seventy. Encouraging students to be what mocking conservatives call ‘politically correct’ has made our country a far better place. American leftist academics have a lot to be proud of. Their conservative critics, who have no remedies to propose either for American sadism or for American selfishness, have a great deal to be ashamed of.”

–Richard Rorty, “Achieving Our Country” (1998).
