President Biden and His Predecessor in Georgia
The Art of Teaching Science
by Jack Hassard
2w ago
On Saturday, March 9th, Joe Biden and his predecessor visited Georgia a few days before the March 12 primary. In Georgia, the media appears to treat President Biden and his predecessor as equals in the 2024 presidential race. But they are not—not by a long shot. The media is replicating how they covered the 2020 presidential race. This is a failure of the free press to discern the real difference between the Republican candidate and the Democratic candidate, who happens to be President of the United States. The Republican candidate sought to stay in office in 2020 by staging a coup on January ..read more

Immigrants Don’t Threaten Communities; They Revitalize Them

A student at the University of Georgia was killed last week on campus. But because the man they arrested was an undocumented Venezuelan migrant, the Governor, Republican legislators, and a handful of protesters in Athens have turned the incident into a vendetta---a feud in which politicians want to seek vengeance against an entire group of people because of the murder by one person. The Georgia government is laying the blame on the whole Latino community, not only in Athens but throughout the state.

AGEISM
The Art of Teaching Science

This post is about ageism and how we discriminate against people that are considered old. We need to look at the media and ask why they are making the case that Biden is not fit for office based on his age. Most of the people in the media, those that are writing the stories and reporting on various outlets, are much younger than either Trump or Biden. Could they be involved in a case of bias, discrimination, or bullying on the basis of age? This very well could be the case. Researchers call this ageism, patterned after sexism and racism.

The Disqualification Section of the 14th Amendment: Implications for Trump’s Eligibility to be on Ballots

The Colorado Supreme Court blocked Trump from the 2024 ballot. This was a landmark case, but it was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Oral arguments will be heard on February 8, 2024. More than 4 dozen amicus briefs have been filed for and against the Supreme Court case. The case will decide whether or not Donald Trump can be on ballots for the 2024 primary and general elections. This post explores how the disqualification section of the Fourteenth Amendment can be used to prevent insurrectionists from holding office in the U.S. The post The Disqualification Section of the 14th Amendment: Im ..read more

Georgia Republican Legislators Want to Ban American Library Association
The Art of Teaching Science

S.B. 390 is written to target libraries and librarians. Some Georgia Republican Senators believe the American Library Association (ALA) spreads Marxist ideology. Therefore, they want to ban the Association from the state and require all public libraries to disassociate from the ALA. I don't believe these senators. I don't think they are telling the truth about their remarks about libraries in Georgia. GA Senate Bill 390 is disingenuous. They are claiming the ALA is a Marxist organization without any evidence. In this post I provide evidence to refute their bill and suggest an action plan to ov ..read more

The Godfather’s Sycophants Turn Out in New Hampshire

Donald Trump is the godfather of American politics in 2024. I would align him with authoritarians such as Viktor Orbán of Hungary, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an of Turkey, and Vladimir Putin of Russia. He insists on complete loyalty. But he also dehumanizes others, even the people who support him. He embarrassed Ramaswamy and Scott last night before each was to speak. Scott professed his love for Trump in an unbelievable remark he made in front of the cameras: "I just love you."

How to Run Against Donald Trump
The Art of Teaching Science

Two articles were written in the last two days leading to today's New Hampshire primary election. I was impressed with each article and will share parts of each article below. They take on the issue of how Haley should have run against Trump in the New Hampshire primary. Trump is an authoritarian who is following the same path as other autocratic leaders, from Mussolini to Putin. Haley must be willing to attest to the fact that Trump is an autocrat and racist, who has been charged in 4 indictments with 91 felonies, found guilty of business fraud in New York state, and found guilty of rape and ..read more

Authoritarianism is a mindset that is characterized by a strong belief in the power of authority and a tendency to support the status quo.
