Harvard Study Shows the Dangers of Early School Enrollment
Are ADHD rates rising because we send children to school at younger ages? Children haven’t changed, but our expectations of their behavior have. In just one generation, children are going to school at younger and younger ages, and are spending more time in school than ever before. They are increasingly required to learn academic content at an early age that may be well above their developmental capability.
Chicago’s New PlayStation Tax Shows How Greedy Politicians Can Be
“If it moves, tax it.” That’s government’s eternal motto, as Ronald Reagan quipped. To this, the city government of Chicago has added, “If it amuses, tax it.” A few weeks ago, PlayStation 4 users in Chicago were shocked when they turned on their consoles and saw a message from Sony. The message informed users that as of November 14, 2018, they would be required to pay a 9 percent “amusement tax” for PlayStation subscriptions such as PlayStation Now, PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Music, and others.

There is a certain irony to the fact that Thanksgiving follows directly on the end of election season. Of course, we can all be thankful that the onslaught of campaign ads, robocalls, and nonstop news coverage is over. On the other hand, the dismal and often apocalyptic campaign rhetoric, suggesting that America faced an immediate choice between Venezuela and Nazi Germany, may have obscured just how much we have to be thankful for.

Conservative personality and KTTH host Ben Shapiro has been blocked from appearing at Gonzaga University. “This is the purist example I’ve seen since DePaul, another Jesuit university, of a university shutting down a speech because the hecklers veto it,” Shapiro told Jason Rantz on KTTH. “The idea is that a bunch of people don’t like me so they show up at my speeches and they yell at me.”

Communists are permitted to deliver speeches at Gonzaga University, but Jewish conservatives are not. University leaders rejected a request from College Republicans to bring Ben Shapiro onto the campus for a speech, Young America’s Foundation spokesman Spencer Brown revealed on Starnes Country. “The school clearly favors leftists, but opposes conservatives,” Brown said on my Fox Nation television show. Gonzaga’s vice president of student development explained that Shapiro’s belief system was “contrary to Gonzaga’s Catholic/Jesuit mission and values.”
