A Map of a Place We Don’t Want To Go |  |
From the Associated Press: French lawmakers vote overwhelmingly to ban religious apparel in public school. I’m not one to wag fingers [liar!!!] but I’m afraid that France is sweeping a crucial issue under the rug. At a time when they should be taking every step to help integrate a new generation of French Muslim (and Jewish)schoolchildren into French society, they are attempting to eradicate the outward differences between groups, in the process making those difference more apparent and less bridgeable.
[wik] Yes, I know there’s deeper and older issues involved. I stand by my point. Does that make me a touchy-feely hippie?
You can’t be a touchy-feely hippie AND believe that “integration”, ie assimilation, is a good thing.
If you have any doubts about whether you’re a hippie or not, consider any social issue and ask yourself, WWBD? (What Would Berkeley Do?)
If you are in synch with a WWBD answer, you’re a hippie.

Posted by Buckethead on 02/10 at 08:39 PMOne phantom is more especially crucial than any other today: the shade of Hegel. To drive this phantom back into the night we need a little more light on Marx, or what is the same thing, a little more Marxist light on Hegel himself. We can then escape from the ambiguities and confusions of the ‘inversion’. by casino online
