Book excerpt: A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice An award-winning constitutional law scholar at the University of Chicago (who clerked for Judge Merrick B. Garland, Justice Stephen Breyer, and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor) gives us an engaging and alarming book that aims to vindicate the rights of public school stu­dents, which have so often been undermined by the Supreme Court in recent decades. Judicial decisions assessing the constitutional rights of students in the nation’s public schools have consistently generated bitter controversy. From racial segregation to un­authorized immigration, from antiwar protests to compul­sory flag salutes, from economic inequality to teacher-led prayer—these are but a few of the cultural anxieties dividing American society that the Supreme Court has addressed in elementary and secondary schools. The Schoolhouse Gate gives a fresh, lucid, and provocative account of the historic legal battles waged over education and illuminates contemporary disputes that continue to fracture the nation. Justin Driver maintains that since the 1970s the Supreme Court has regularly abdicated its responsibility for protecting students’ constitutional rights and risked trans­forming public schools into Constitution-free zones. Students deriving lessons about citizenship from the Court’s decisions in recent decades would conclude that the following actions taken by educators pass constitutional muster: inflicting severe corporal punishment on students without any proce­dural protections, searching students and their possessions without probable cause in bids to uncover violations of school rules, random drug testing of students who are not suspected of wrongdoing, and suppressing student speech for the view­point it espouses. Taking their cue from such decisions, lower courts have upheld a wide array of dubious school actions, including degrading strip searches, repressive dress codes, draconian “zero tolerance” disciplinary policies, and severe restrictions on off-campus speech. Driver surveys this legal landscape with eloquence, highlights the gripping personal narratives behind landmark clashes, and warns that the repeated failure to honor students’ rights threatens our basic constitutional order. This magiste­rial book will make it impossible to view American schools—or America itself—in the same way again.

Book excerpt: Palestine, first century A.D.-the Jews have revolted against Roman occupation. The ten Greek cities of Palestine-the Decapolis-want only to continue their peaceful trading existence, but they find themselves caught in the middle of the uprisings. Apollodorus, a merchant of Philadelphia, takes a risk and rescues a man whom a Roman patrol has left to die in the desert. When Apollodorus is killed by robbers, his three sons are left almost penniless and must each find a way for themselves. Philo, the youngest, is befriended by Xenos, the man saved from the desert, who has lost his memory. From him the boy learns the art of the scribe, and together they try to find their identity-one from the past, the other for the future. A serious story of an important time in history.

Download or read book Spirituality at the School Gate written by Diane Jackson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirituality at the School Gate is an innovative and explorative new study grounded in the field of lived religion. It examines how intentionally engaging in spirituality makes a difference to relationships made at the school gate, and looks at the importance of compassion and encounter. Unlike the everyday location of the workplace or the home, the school gate, which is primarily populated by women, is an overlooked, under-researched locus of spirituality. This book reveals it as a context deserving of attention, and sheds a concentrated beam of light on what proves to be a site of rich, embodied spiritual practice. It will encourage readers to approach their daily school-gate experiences with more intentionality and appreciation of the presence of God in the everyday.

The last heroes of the Drenai joined with him in a desperate gamble to bring down the emperor -- even at the cost of their own destruction.

Book excerpt: "Kate Young's compassionate, finely crafted poems do for the primary school what Hannah Lowe's award-winning 'The Kids' did for the secondary school. Like Lowe she opens the classroom door to introduce us to fictional, yet authentic, depictions of pupils in a class. Meet the young carer, the neglected, the boy in care, the child with learning difficulties. Each offers a challenge to a teacher operating in an educational system that sees children as 'data' and delivers the imperative to 'close the gap'. Yet Young's poems treat each individual with great empathy, understanding and respect, never failing to find 'the lustre in the centre of each one' and to remind us of the duty we all owe to our children to help them to make the most of their life chances. If only all teachers had such poetry in their soul!" Nigel Kent "As a former primary teacher who has only recently retired, Kate Young does not look at education through rose-tinted lenses; neither is she cynical. Far less concerned about curriculum's formalities than with expressions of compassion so crucial to children's development, Kate unflinchingly explores the anguish of some of the young lives she has quietly influenced over past decades. Her poetic voice emerges clear, unblinkered, warm; she employs her skills as a poet in language unfreighted with propaganda or political point-scoring: rather, her work is sensitive, nudging readers to think more deeply about those times supposedly "the best days of our lives"-but too often nothing of the sort."
