Very disturbing to see this lack of scientific nuance from one of the main people responsible for driving US policy & funding toward a mass surgical campaign affecting the genitals of millions of Africans. There are multiple things wrong with this statement ... [THREAD]
First, it is false there is "no debate in science community" re original RCTs. Rather, those with critiques were ignored or shut out by those driving agenda, a small network of circumcision advocates active in all stages of the science-to-policy pipeline ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25646671
Second, even if one accepts RCT findings at face value, despite critiques (e.g., re: confounds & obvious lack of placebo control), they pertain to adult, voluntary circ under "ideal" clinical conditions as part of trials led by long-time circ proponents; (cont'd)

New paper on FGC in Asia Pacific so important. Highlights a constant theme in recent work: multiple double-standards (race, religion, sex) and cultural bias in Western policy; FGC defenders rely on Western tolerance for MGC to justify continuance [THREAD] researchgate.net/profile/Abdul_…
Emphasis on explicit religious justification within many Muslim communities ...
Explicit justification of practice in terms of ritual male circumcision (performed in the same communities & widely assumed to be permissible) ...

Every year in the Philippines, young boys are lined up, pinned on tables, overpowered & subjected to what any adult would experience as torture, as part of their penis is cut off while loved ones smile, laugh, and hold their arms down. Horrific abuse
A recent study suggests this causes PTSD in these young boys at rates of nearly 70%, more than 3 times the rate of soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Meanwhile US, Bill Gates et al funding mass penis cutting in Africa of boys of similar age, with 35K+ estimated forcibly circumcised w/o even parental consent in Kenya alone ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…… - schoolboys lied to & told they will be immune from HIV vmmcproject.org/wp-content/upl…

This stock is recent (June 2018) and data can easily become corrupted and the chart messy. Since the beginning of the year a strong trend began. #Trendlines have appeared reliable. Unfortunately the Fibs aren't effective but still attract price.

Placing it on the Watch List

This company has had a very good 15 years but the last 4 years have proved miserable for buyers. The charts say it all - in 2019 we've seen all new time lows and the future does not look bright. ENDP shares the same fate as ...

This is the journal article of the EEF study. -> Can explicit teaching of knowledge improve reading attainment? An evaluation of the Core Knowledge curriculum - See - 2017 - British Educational Research Journal - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
The trial was about a year long. According to the article the theory behind the programme (based on CKLA) is “The theory is that if children understand the words they read, they can understand the text.” - of course criticism has been on *what text*, relevant if donain-specific.
Nevertheless, IMO it makes sense to at least also, certainly after 69 45 minute lessons on history and geography, measure reading comprehension with standardised tests. I do agree though that a bespoke test would also make sense. This didn’t have one,the EEF report said ‘invalid’
