How An Elite New York City Prep School Created A Safe Space For Angry Zionists
POLITICS 08/21/2018 11:54 am ET Influential parents accused Riverdale Country School of leftist “indoctrination,” and now two teachers are gone. A parable about the real political correctness. Robert Silverman On Assignment For HuffPost On the morning of May 15, a day after Israeli soldiers shot and killed more than 60 largely unarmed Palestinian protesters on the Gaza–Israel border and injured thousands more, Joel Doerfler, a history teacher at New York City’s elite Riverdale Country School, decided to post The New York Times’ front page headline and accompanying photos in the hallway outside his classroom. “ISRAELIS KILL DOZENS IN GAZA,” read the headline, to which Doerfler added a personal note: “I support Palestinian human rights.” Doerfler, now 74 years old, had been a member of the faculty at Riverdale for more than 25 years, heading the history department since 1992. He often taught an elective course … [Read more...] about How An Elite New York City Prep School Created A Safe Space For Angry Zionists
Colorado Springs tavern ‘family’ raises a glass to long-time bartender
“I looked around the barroom. Someone else might have seen nothing more than a random crowd of drinkers, but I saw my people. Kith and kin.”― J.R. Moehringer, The Tender BarThey come in to Papa Jo’s on good days, bad days, and days that end with a “y,” to salute the highs and dilute the lows, eat pizza or tacos or just nurse a drink and watch TV.They come in to see Sis.Forty years ago, a woman walked into a bar. She’s still there, with an ear, a beer and words of hard-earned wisdom, if that's what you require.“When you’re a bartender you’re a bouncer, a psychiatrist, you’re a lot of things,” said Kathryn “Sissy” Noble.” “They can always come to you, say ‘I’m going through a bad time,’ and you listen to them and if you can give them your advice or opinion or something they appreciate it.”If Papa Jo’s is the axis of an improvised community, Sissy is its true … [Read more...] about Colorado Springs tavern ‘family’ raises a glass to long-time bartender

“Made in Colorado” exhibit shows how some things are changing — and how some will always stay the same
The exhibit, “Made in Colorado” starts off with a curious, and somewhat ominous, video by artist Tobias Fike. “When I’m Gone” depicts a man, dressed in a hooded, white body suit, painting himself invisible. He dips his brush into a bucket and whatever body part he touches — legs, arms, head — disappears. Until the only thing left in the frame is his shadow in front of a rugged, mountainous terrain. Fike, no doubt, is evoking the very thing driving America to insanity these days: the notion of the fading white man and the fear and panic over what will fill the landscape next. But then calmly, and in colorful, comical and comforting ways, “Made in Colorado” spends the rest of its time answering the question, via objects produced by artists who make their home across the state. To the left, visitors see Trinidad-born photographer Renluka Maharaj’s image of a person — a man or a woman, it’s hard to tell — covered … [Read more...] about “Made in Colorado” exhibit shows how some things are changing — and how some will always stay the same
