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.”

Mumtaz pats the edge of the bed and tells me to come closer. The old man makes a clucking sound. “Don’t be afraid,” she says. “Come here, now.” I don’t move. Her voice turns hard. “Get over here, you ignorant girl,” she says. Still, I do not move. Then Mumtaz flies at me. She grabs me by the hair and drags me across the room. She flings me onto the bed next to the old man. And then he is on top of me, holding me down with the strength of ten men. He kisses me with lips that are slack and wet and taste of onions. His teeth dig into my lower lip. Underneath the weight of him, I cannot see or move or breathe. He fumbles with his pants, forces my legs apart, and I can feel him pushing himself between my thighs. I gasp for air and kick and squirm. He thrusts his tongue in my mouth. And I bite down with all my might. He cries out “Aghh!” and I am running. Running down the hall, past the other girls, losing my fancy city shoes along the way, until I am back in the room where I started, pulling my old clothes out of my bundle.

–From Patricia McCormick’s Sold (2006).

    What are all these daily cartoons racist against white people? White people aren’t the only bad guys with guns. White people aren’t the only people who voted for trump.
    This is just a form of politics subliminally keeping racism alive. Per Capita there are more white law abiding citizens that do the right things every day and support all the other entitled people in this country.

      School mass murders are committed mostly by white people. Domestic terrorists are mostly white christian American males. Do you have a problem with facts? I don’t like them either but I can’t change the numbers.

      Among great left fielders such as Ted Williams? Stan Musial? Willie Stargell? Lou Brock? I’ll take it.

        You do understand the difference of politics and baseball? Typical spending of words from someone from the left.

          Only to the extent that I understand the difference between hell and heaven, assuming—thinking from beyond left field here of course—either exists. Or is it exist? See, now you’ve got me all Council of Nicaea-like over grammatical hereafters.

            There is a Hell. The existence of something known as a “Mets Fan” proves it.

            PC is somewhat of a boneyard for the aforementioned — and accounts (along with the occasional wind from Palatka) for the fragrance of Flagler County.
