Taurus (Apr21/May21) Before you continue with agreements in a joint manner, consider what you want to gain from them. It could be that they are routines that you've given little thought to.

The American Faith I Was Raised In
I was raised in a very specific American faith. This American faith is not patriotism, not a love of this country—though it contains some of that. Nor is it Christianity—though it contains some of that too. It is the belief that Church and state should never have been separate in American life, despite all the un-Christian aspects of the Founders, such as their distinctly secular philosophies and their explicit, repeated commitment to that separation. Today’s Christian nationalists have fought for this particular faith over decades. And that fight paid off when, at the end of June, the Supreme Court released its long-awaited decision in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District . Joseph Kennedy, a high-school coach, had sued the Bremerton School District for firing him for praying on the field at the conclusion of football games. Prayer in schools, a practice that had been considered illegal since Engel v. Vitale was decided in 1962, was instantly legal again. Conservative-Christian … [Read more...] about The American Faith I Was Raised In

Mike Tyson launches scathing attack on ‘unauthorised’ Hulu biopic about his life: ‘They stole my story and didn’t pay me’
Mike Tyson has put Hulu on blast for allegedly producing the upcoming series about his life without his consent. Starring Moonlight actor Trevante Rhodes as the former heavy-eight champion, fans were recently treated to a tense flavour of what’s to come in the eight-parter , which promises to give an ‘unauthorised and no-holds-barred look’ at the life of one of the most controversial sporting figures in history. Formerly titled Iron Mike, Mike explores the tumultuous ups and downs of the 56-year-old’s boxing career and personal life – from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again. Mike also examines class and race in America, fame and the power of media, misogyny, the wealth divide and the promise of the American Dream. However, the former pro made his feelings known about the biopic on Instagram. ‘Don’t let Hulu fool you,’ he wrote. ‘I don’t support their story about my life. It’s not 1822. It’s 2022. They stole my life and story didn’t pay … [Read more...] about Mike Tyson launches scathing attack on ‘unauthorised’ Hulu biopic about his life: ‘They stole my story and didn’t pay me’
Teenagers should study maths and English beyond GCSE, says Rishi Sunak
Teenagers should study core subjects including maths and English beyond GCSE as part of a new “British Baccalaureate”, Rishi Sunak has said. Setting out his education policies, the Conservative leadership contender criticised the current A-level curriculum as overly narrow, saying it fails to prepare young people for future economic opportunities. The former chancellor pointed to other countries in Europe and Asia where students have to study maths until the age of 18. Mr Sunak also vowed to create a ‘Russell Group’ of technical colleges to provide young people with a prestigious alternative to university if he becomes Prime Minister. Setting out his education policies, the Conservative leadership contender also said he would increase the use of AI in schools and continue a crackdown on poor value universities courses. The Russell Group was established in 1994 and now covers 24 universities - including Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial College London - with a reputation … [Read more...] about Teenagers should study maths and English beyond GCSE, says Rishi Sunak
Oxford University accused of snubbing Theresa May in row over portraits celebrating diversity
Oxford University has been accused of awarding itself a ‘first class degree in political correctness’ after snubbing Theresa May’s achievements in a series of portraits celebrating diversity. The prime minister is one of a number of notable women absent from the list of former Oxford University students chosen to reflect its ‘commitment to inclusivity’. Oxford has announced the commission of 24 portraits to be displayed around the university reflecting sitters from a variety of backgrounds. The university said last night that Mrs May was omitted from the list because no staff or students currently at Oxford had bothered to nominate her. The row echoes the furore over the university’s refusal to award Margaret Thatcher with an honorary degree in 1985. Among those to be painted or photographed include Ken Loach, the left-wing film director, the BBC journalist Reeta Chakrabarti, the broadcaster Dame Esther Rantzen and Kelsey Leonard, the first Native American to graduate … [Read more...] about Oxford University accused of snubbing Theresa May in row over portraits celebrating diversity
Harry Styles course to be offered at university
University administrators desperate to attract Gen Z students have long added gimmicks to courses to boost their appeal. But a university in Texas is taking their offering in one direction not previously trialled by running a course on British pop star Harry Styles . The 28-year-old is due to be the subject of a course at Texas State University Honors College titled “Harry Styles and the cult of celebrity: identity, the internet, and European pop culture”. An advert for the course says it will focus on Mr Styles and popular European culture “to understand the cultural and political development of the modern celebrity as related to questions of gender and sexuality, race, class, nation and globalism, media, fashion, fan culture, internet culture and consumerism.” Students who complete the course, starting next Spring, will be able to earn credits towards qualifications in history, international studies, popular culture studies, diversity studies and women’s and gender studies. … [Read more...] about Harry Styles course to be offered at university
Universities warned over ‘snowflake’ student demands
Universities will be forced to pander to the demands of "snowflake" students if controversial changes to the ranking system are approved, education leaders have warned. The Government faces a cross-party revolt in the Lords this week over proposed reforms to higher education, which include placing student satisfaction at the heart of a new ranking system. It is feared that this will lead to a "fantastically dangerous" culture where authorities will give in to student demands, however unreasonable they may be. "Safe space" and "no platform" movements have swept across campuses including a campaign to ban Germaine Greer from giving a speech over her "offensive" comments. Baroness Wolf, a professor at King’s College London (KCL), warned: “Universities are increasingly nervous about doing anything that will create overt dissatisfaction among students because they are being told that student satisfaction is key. “It has had a real effect on the willingness of universities to … [Read more...] about Universities warned over ‘snowflake’ student demands
Death of morality and trust in schools puts male teachers at risk
Kato Harris was a teacher with a flourishing career apparently ahead of him in a school in Ascot, Berkshire. Then, in December 2014, a pupil he had never taught nor could recall ever talking to accused him of rape. He suffered a 17-month ordeal, when he endured public shame, went through the courts, and saw his career unravel. He was cleared by the jury after just 15 minutes. Mr Harris is now unemployed, living in a bedsit and is unsurprisingly bitter about the whole experience and lack of support he believes he received. Tragically, he now says: “If I knew then what I know now, I would never have become a teacher. I would never work with children again.” Teaching, he warns other men, is too great a reputational risk. As a head teacher for 20 years, I spent my time encouraging people to teach in schools, believing it to be the finest profession one can possibly pursue. So Mr Harris’s remarks are incredibly distressing. But are we in danger here of losing perspective? There … [Read more...] about Death of morality and trust in schools puts male teachers at risk
