  • Of Monks and Oligarchs

    One of the things I have learned in my more than seven decades of life is that everything has its opposite. For instance, you wouldn’t know up if there was not also a down.

    Kentucky Supreme Court Says Charter Schools Are Unconstitutional

    While it is not the first state or court to rule that charter schools are unconstitutional and have no right to public funds, it is refreshing to see constitutional standards being upheld in an era where they are casually ignored by authorities at many levels.
