A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

The 'majority' no longer is, in US schools
In both the 15 former slave states of 1860, and in several western states, whites, while still perhaps a plurality, are no longer a majority in public schools. Other than perhaps driving the Glenn Becks of the world ballistic, as the story notes, this is serious food for thought on the future of our education system. (That includes here in majority-minority Texas, home of Gov. Asshat Perry turning down federal education money.)
