Links for 01/27/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Politico ran a story about the Koch brothers using almost a billion dollars for the next election cycle. Dog bites man. The Holy Father did a homily to his housemates about submitting to God's will - which hopefully every pastor gave given tht Gospel - that and someone left the toilet seats down (just kidding). Interestingly, that is also the theme of most teachings at the Mosque (Islam means submission - of Obama talked about submission the right wing would freak). The report of the Empowerment Project AFJN is online - as is their donate button if supporting Africa is something you do financially.
Noted Neocon, Peter Berkowitz (and yes, MSW, that is exactly what he is and you should look in a mirror) writes about free expression issues on campus. The nineties are coming back with the whole speech codes debate. That he is riffing off of the murders in Paris is shameful, given that this has nothing to do with what happened at the University of Chicago. (sounds like a conservative protection program). Most libertarians would say that you get the free speech you buy as a student, since you bring our tuition and aid dollars to the party yourself. Where I want to see free speech is at work - although since they are buying my speech they reserve the right to not use it anymore. Employee ownership would solve that problem.
