Michael Butler at AAUW: What is Academic Freedom and Why Does It Matter? American Association of University Women Flagler’s April 1 meeting is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cypress Knoll Golf and Country Club, 53 East Hampton, Palm Coast. The guest is Dr. Michael Butler, Professor of History Chair of Humanities, Flagler College. The presentation is $5 to attend, $25 with lunch. Please check the website for more information. “It’s easy to ridicule Florida, or cite ‘Florida Man.’ But the Florida of today is the America of tomorrow,” Butler told Vanity Fair in an article about Gov. Ron DeSantis’s assaults on academic freedom. “If you put these culture wars into context, there’s always a bigger issue at play. This time, it’s 2024, and Florida is being used as a laboratory for policies and practices concerning higher education that will be unveiled at the national level.”




April 15: The University Women of Flagler’s general membership meets at 9:30 a.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, 55 Town Center Blvd., Palm Coast. Guests are welcome. Cost is $17 if paying by check; $18 if paying through this link. The April 15 speaker is Lt. General Mark Hertling, a retired three star general living in Flagler Beach having had global military and other responsibilities on behalf of the United States, positions on Presidential councils and Boards of Directors, a true winner in the sports arena, and an ace commentator on national television news outlets.

Notably: Borlaug or Borglum? It’s American sculptor Gutzon Borglum’s birthday (1867), but let’s not rush out to celebrate the KKK member who defaced the Black Hills to give us the atrocity known as Mount Rushmore, and who had previously begun sculpting that other atrocity at Stone Mountain, Ga., to this day a shrine to Confederate racists everywhere. I prefer Norman Borlaug’s birthday (1914), which really ought to be an international holiday: no man is as singly responsible for saving the lives of billions as Borlaug, father of the Green Revolution with his high-yield, disease resistant seed. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970, and died in, of all cities, Dallas–“the city that proves God is dead,” in Don DeLillo’s words, or “nut country,” in JFK’s words, before the shots–in 2009. Dallas had burgeoned again since 1963, a seed of redemption irrigated by blood.

One of the great historical events in Europe during the course of our dramatic century, the Russian Revolution of 1917, had this inscription on its banner: “Bread and Peace.” Bread and peace present a combination of the vital needs mankind has always set as a goal vital to the development of its potential.
Freedom from starvation was furthermore one of the freedoms our first global peace organization, the United Nations, recognized in 1945 as a basic human right to be secured for all people. On October 16, 1945, FAO – that is to say, the United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture, the first of UNO’s specialized agencies – was established. In 1949 FAO’s secretary-general, the nutrition expert Lord Boyd Orr, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This year the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament has awarded Nobel’s Peace Prize to a scientist, Dr. Norman Ernest Borlaug, because, more than any other single person of this age, he has helped to provide bread for a hungry world. We have made this choice in the hope that providing bread will also give the world peace.

–Aase Lionaes, Chairman of the Nobel Committee, announcing Norman Borlaug’s Peace Prize in 1970.

    OMG! If you have ever been in Tallahassee, there is a main road that drives through a hilly area, straight up to the Capital. It is hilarious! Totally looks like an erection, with a testicle on each side! It looks to be popping up from the ground as you drive up. I’ve tried to find a really good picture on the web, but the vast majority of pictures play down the phallic look. I always thought it was totally intentional. What’s even funnier is there are two high speed elevators to the top! Well, Florida has always been seen to be a phallic symbol, and now the times reflect the symbol.
