This has been the White supremacist orientation toward African American styles for hundreds of years. Cultural chauvinism, goes beyond the recognition of cultural difference, toward to punishment of difference and elevation of one’s own cultural preferences as a default societal standard. This proposal could be, at once, the continuity of White cultural racism and trickle down cultural chauvinism in the time of Donald Trump. The theory of aversive racism assumes, for example, that in situation where evaluation criteria is unclear, Whites will typically treat African Americans with negative bias (i.e., stop and frisk laws) (Dovidio, & Gaertner, 2000). To be in violation of the law, one has to sag their pants in ways that expose underwear or body parts in an “indecent or vulgar manner.” The ambiguity of this phrase invites what is known as aversive racism. This article contains thoughts about what this bill means for young Black males. It recommends a new law that would impose fines and psychological counseling for people who sag their pants. Recently, Tom Weathersby of the Mississippi state House of Representatives proposed a bill.

He has already self-marginalized himself to a great degree as the public outcry demonstrates.Ģ) Superman represents a moral ideal for all people. I will defend his right to embarrass himself in public. Science fiction writer David Gerrold - who is himself gay - has been weighing in on Facebook:ġ) As odious as I find Orson Scott Card’s views on LGBT people, he has the constitutionally protected right to speak and publish those views. (Of course, plenty of believers in “the American way” figure that includes shaming gays and lesbians and ensuring that they don’t “ruin” marriage for “decent” people.)Ī petition has been organized to get DC to give Card the boot. How can I – in good conscience – support someone who is now on the forefront of the Anti-LGBT movement? I view it the same as denying rights to people of color or religion. Superman has always been about “Truth and Justice,” and the philosophies that Card espouses are antithetical to that. Elliott Serrano at Redeye explains why this is problematic: Vocal homophobe Orson Scott Card - Wired has a good summary of his outspoken anti-gay attitudes - has been hired by DC to write a Superman story. I missed out on the pre-order to get some sweet bamboo earrings. I was super excited to see Jackson’s new release earlier this fall. It was great commentary on the trauma Black woman and girls are subjected to and how the world blames them for that trauma or forgets about them completely. I was so taken with Monday’s Not Coming when I read it earlier this year. But fame comes with a price, and she finds herself caught in the hell that is Korey Fields (you have to say the whole thing like Peter Kavinsky). Before the body, we see Enchanted trying to get her big break as a singer, with the help of Korey Fields. The story opens with Enchanted Jones coming to after a blackout with blood-beet juice-on her hands, presumably the blood of the mega star, Korey Fields. An all-powerful and dearly beloved R&B singer who has his sights on fresh, under-aged, talent? One with a dark side and who likes power and control? Seems a lot like the whole docuseries Surviving R. Jackson, I had an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.

(A) Some of the stories also have a futuristic feel to them even though some have been written between 40 and 60 years ago. The writing style of Asimov is undoubtedly intellectual, yet his writing can be understood by most people when it is read. Two things good about the stories started with the language of the book. They question the reason why they married each other, and a man appears and shows them what if the husband had married his wife’s friend. For example, the story What If- was a look at a couple’s life that seems to be monotonous and dull. Each story was something new and interesting each time a new one was read. The book Nightfall and Other Stories is a collection of the short stories that Asimov wrote, each with a science fiction theme incorporated into them. Isaac Asimov’s Nightfall was one of the earlier short stories he submitted in his writing career. George would make an interesting read for educators trying to create schools that are safe and comfortable for all students.Ĭons: George addresses a controversial topic, and there will undoubtedly be those who feel it doesn’t belong in an elementary classroom or library. Pros: Whatever a reader’s views on transgender kids, this book makes a powerful statement about the importance of gender to personal identity, and how narrow society’s definition is on what is masculine and feminine. While there are no easy answers for George, the book ends on a hopeful note. Reactions to George in this clearly feminine role are mixed, but strong, and ultimately lead to a greater understanding of George by her mother and older brother.

As a result of this painful experience, George finally comes out to Kelly, who hatches a plan to allow George to be Charlotte in one of the performances. Melissa (formerly published as GEORGE) by Alex Gino. Coached by her best friend Kelly, George decides to try out for Charlotte, but her teacher takes her audition as a joke and instead gives the part to Kelly. Her fourth grade class is doing a play of Charlotte’s Web, and more than anything, George wants the part of Charlotte. She has a secret stash of magazines like Seventeen that she pores over to learn more about girls’ clothes, makeup, and lifestyles. Summary: George has a boy’s body, but she’s always felt she is a girl. Some would therefore describe him as more of a temperamental being, like a fairy. Leshy could take children who were cursed by their relatives (in particular, parents) away to the forest people. He is, however, also known to have a more neutral disposition towards humans, dependent on the attitudes and behaviours of an individual person, or local population, towards the forest. He is known by some to have a propensity to lead travelers astray and abduct children (which he shares with Chort, the "Black One"), which would lead some to believe he is an evil entity. In some accounts, Leshy is described as having a wife ( Leshachikha, Leszachka, Lesovikha and also, sometimes, the Kikimora of the swamp) and children ( leshonki, leszonky). The Leshy is masculine and humanoid in shape, is able to assume any likeness and can change in size and height. His functions were identical to those of the god Veles. There is also a deity, named Svyatibor ( Svyatobor, Svyatibog), who is mentioned in the beliefs of the Eastern and Western Slavs as the god of forests and the lord of the leshies. As the spirit rules over the forest and hunting, he may be related to the Slavic god Porewit. The Leshy (also Leshi Russian: леший, IPA: literally, " from the forest", Polish: borowy, leśnik, leśniczy, lasowik, leszy) is a tutelary deity of the forests in pagan Slavic mythology. She won the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize for Journey to the River Sea, and has been a runner up for many of major awards for British children's literature. Ibbotson has written numerous books including The Secret of Platform 13, Journey to the River Sea, Which Witch?, Island of the Aunts, and Dial-a-Ghost. Ten years later, she published her first novel, The Great Ghost Rescue. Ibottson began writing with the television drama 'Linda Came Today', in 1965. Ibbotson was widowed with three sons and a daughter. Instead, she married and raised a family, returning to school to become a teacher in the 1960s. Ibbotson had intended to be a physiologist, but was put off by the amount of animal testing that she would have to do. She attended Bedford College, graduating in 1945 Cambridge University from 1946-47 and the University of Durham, from which she graduated with a diploma in education in 1965. When Hitler came into power, her family moved to England. She was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1925. Eva Ibbotson (born Maria Charlotte Michelle Wiesner) was a British novelist specializing in romance and children's fantasy. who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly."-Theodore Roosevelt Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly. "It is not the critic who counts not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. More than 2 million copies sold!

From thought leader Brené Brown, a transformative new vision for the way we lead, love, work, parent, and educate that teaches us the power of vulnerability. The Paris Wife is a fictional account of the relationship between a young Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson. I think I might come at it a little differently now compared to the way I approached him as a young university student. Now, after reading Paula McLain’s novel The Paris Wife I have to admit to being quite curious about Hemingway and his writing. I do know, however, that he is a significant figure in American literature even if neither the man nor the myth was all that interesting to me as a reader. He has been criticized for his portrayal of women in his work, so my opinion has clearly been borrowed from something else I’ve read. For some reason I always thought of him as a misogynist, although I couldn’t say how I came to that conclusion. Perhaps I read him when I was too young to appreciate his spare and muscular prose. I wouldn’t consider myself an Ernest Hemingway fan by any stretch. |
