Mobile, AL school system loses its mind : Starts With A Bang

TEACHING WHAT?
100 years ago, segregation of sex was commonplace in schools. Not only that, but girls took "girl classes" like home economics, while boys took "boy classes" like trigonometry. One would think that we're past that by now. But under the sex-segregation program at a Mobile school, teachers had been instructed to treat boys and girls differently. At a teacher training, teachers were informed that boys should be taught about "heroic behavior" and girls should learn "good character."

WHY THEY DO IT
Just like Captain Renault in Casa Blanca, the race-baiters are "shocked, I tell you, shocked" to find such animosity: Senators by the "wise latina" comment; the media by outlandish tales of intrigue about Obama's dark secret motives.(eg., the "birther" "issue")
Why they do it is no surprise; Money, Power and it's easier than dealing with the mess they made and left for him to clean up. The real issue is why anyone acts surprised. It's part of their playbook. Remember the Clinton death list? Hillary as a killer crypto-lesbian who faked Vince Foster's suicide? The bottom line is, like the old joke about the dog, is that they can. But do we have to watch?

POSSE COMMITATUS REDUX
In what would have been a nearly unprecedented use of military power, the Bush administration considered sending U.S. troops into a US city to make civilian arrests. The Constitution and various laws restrict the military from being used to conduct domestic raids and seize property. Cheney and other Bush aides used a Justice Department memo as justification for their claimed broad authority.
