Happy Halloween from the ADL!
"Engage in conversations with young people about gender stereotypes and discuss messages that companies send through marketing and advertising." adl.org/education/reso…
ADL says for Halloween make sure your young daughter's costume is practical so she can actually fight crime
"While costumes targeted to boys place heavy emphasis on superheroes and action figures, choices like these convey the message that boys should be scary and gruesome."
"Before a Halloween event, you might say something like, “It’s really fun to dress up and pretend. At our school, there aren’t boy’s and girl’s costumes.”"
Taking my kids to trick-or-treat at Grrenblatt's house.

Statement pulls the ALL LIVES MATTER nonsense. "We reject all forms of discrimination, including antisemitism and anti-Palestinian racism."

Can we get one person involved here to condemn the antisemitism that actually happened?
Back when I was calling out left antisemitism mostly alone, my fellow tribesfolk on the left fell into three categories:
1. People who called me racist
2. People who know I'm not but stayed silent and allowed the victim-blaming
3. People named @bungarsargon or @seffikogen
So it looks like a more productive response would've been possible from my friends on the left! You know where to get a hold of me if you feel like maybe now there's something you'd like to say.

This is wrong, but is a common and good faith mistake to make so not picking on Josh just using as an example: as those of us involved in designing curriculum and working w/kids can tell you, the reason these fights are being fought is because they in fact matter a great deal.
Bethany is well known as a practical homeschooling advocate and curriculum expert, and so during the pandemic it was striking how many parents had their eyes opened by observing the kids' learning experiences and came to Bethany to talk about how to fix it.
You should hear the conversations that kids are having with their parents over history, civics etc and how much their absorbing on a values-level, shaping their understanding of the world around them. Those conversations tend to be pretty horrifying unfortunately.

Caught between their principles and their...rabbis? Are the rabbis being mean to the Squad? Did AOC switch her vote because she was afraid she'd get in trouble and miss Shabbos Party? She was supposed to be the ima this week! Image
Amazing stuff
NYT weird "blame the beardlings" for AOC crying aside, the whole premise is off anyway. AOC isn't afraid of "lobbyists" or "rabbis," it's that she realizes it's unpopular among NY *voters* that she opposes saving the lives of Jewish children from terrorist bombs. Poor AOC!

I think the lines are basically set in terms of ppl who feel strongly about the vax one way or the other, and the persuadables are still persuadable in the middle. So some in that middle will pick up the pace now, I assume. But I wish he'd make a coherent case, which exists.
Good case for adults getting vaxxed: things go back to normal.

Bad case for adults getting vaxxed: kids still can't get an education and adults should continue to fear for their lives.

Not sure how much it matters at this late point, but it's still so asinine.
And also we know schools should be back to normal but they're not because politics and unions. So why are we getting campaign speeches instead of any acknowledgement of the science? This is like Shawshank lifers afraid they can't make it on the outside.

I love that this Israeli self-defense group (in NYC, sounds like?) named itself after the Jewish Legion. But as the Resident Legion Guy on twitter, I have to correct this part of an otherwise wonderful piece (I have three separate Tablet tabs open rn, such a great pub)
They trained in Egypt, but many of the expelled were in the US--Ben Gurion was the one who recruited my ggf in Cleveland. Many of the East European refugees thus were not in the Russian battalion of the Legion b/c they had, like my fam, gone to America first.
They were thus put in the North American battalion, mainly the 39th Royal Fusiliers. But language was a problem because the ones who came from America weren't Americans! Americans weren't allowed yet to fight in WWI even for Brits, only resident aliens.
