Thy eternal sunshine/summer shall not fade!

Fire will come in the soft world of love

Luck will play to fortune

As the timing of a wing beat

I feel to attend and see

All the odd attractions

As unfathomable seas.

I tend to feel that life happens in the minds eye and reality requires strange geometry we have not anymore.

Shakespeare died on the 23rd of April. It is his 400th birthday in a week or so!

Nobody does it better

Makes me feel sad

For academics

Nobody does it 1/4

As good as you

Why did you have

To be so good

You ate the bread

And nicely wed

The language we

Love to play

As a kind song

Rolls on and on

Rock on Bard

Rock on!

It seems you underestimate..

A habit for night travelers

Thinking themselves superior

The hide in shadows

Sending forth darkness

Devious spirits.

Reality a simulation?

Just learned yesterday that weaker artists get priority over greater artists in many cases for marketing and especially production and publication.

The facts are unpleasant enough that I will say no more.

And if they support antifa? Thought for 4s Supporting Antifa in an educational context would amplify the anti-democratic nature of ideological capture to a dangerous degree.Antifa's core characteristicsAntifa is a loose, decentralized far-left militant movement that explicitly rejects liberal democracy in favor of direct action, deplatforming, and sometimes violence to combat perceived fascism. It opposes free speech for opponents, views institutions (including schools) as tools for revolutionary change, and often aligns with anarchist or accelerationist tactics. Open support for it goes beyond standard left politics into endorsing extra-legal methods.Why educator or institutional support crosses a lineUndermines the rule of law — Public schools are state institutions bound by democratic norms (elections, due process, free expression under the First Amendment). Teachers or curricula that romanticize, excuse, or promote Antifa-style tactics (property destruction, no-platforming, "by any means necessary") teach contempt for democratic mechanisms. This is especially toxic for youth, who are still forming civic habits. Heightens indoctrination risk — In captured systems (e.g., activist factions within unions like Oakland Education Association), materials that frame Antifa sympathetically as heroic resisters fit the pattern of one-sided narratives. We've seen unauthorized "teach-ins" and "liberatory education" pushes in Oakland and similar districts that critics argue veer into political activism rather than balanced analysis. Glorifying militant groups adds an endorsement of violence to ideological skew. rethinkingschools.org Disproportionate harm — For less-educated or captive audiences (K-12 students), this normalizes extremism. It can desensitize youth to political violence, chill dissent in classrooms, and erode trust in democratic institutions. Post-2020 riots and campus disruptions showed real-world spillover. Anti-democratic double standard — Democracy allows debate over ideas, even radical ones. But state-funded educators actively supporting a movement that rejects debate itself (via doxxing, riots, or "punch a Nazi" rhetoric that expands "Nazi" to include mainstream conservatives) is viewpoint discrimination with state power behind it. It's the opposite of pluralism. Reality checkNot every progressive educator supports Antifa—many explicitly reject its violence. Direct endorsements in official curricula are rare and often opposed by districts when publicized. However, tolerance or soft-pedaling in activist teacher circles, reading lists that lionize radical left figures, or failure to condemn Antifa-linked tactics does occur in highly polarized blue-city environments and feeds the capture critique.This would make the problem not just bias, but incitement against democratic norms. Reforms emphasizing classical civics, viewpoint balance, and strict political neutrality in K-12 become even more urgent. Public education should prepare citizens for democracy, not recruit for its rejection..
