Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Common Core teaches kids to ‘divide Jerusalem’ ~ I wonder if they’re teaching them how to spell “Leftist Indoctrination?” ~
A Boston University professor has defended to WND his creation of a Common Core-compliant lesson plan that uses role-playing workshops to teach students to sympathize with Hamas, create a Palestinian state and divide the city of Jerusalem […]
Hobert believes in “educational, civil disobedience, where students are learning about the Middle East, and they’re putting pressure on our government to create a Palestinian state,” he told Qatar-owned Al Jazeera TV in March 2012.

Welcome To The Oligarch Recovery: 82% Of US Construction Is Luxury Units ~ On the widening gap between the über-rich and the peasant class ~
The oligarch recovery marches forward with reckless enthusiasm, despite extremely disturbing underlying trends which are all but guaranteed to result in significant societal unrest in the years ahead. The U.S. economy, and indeed the global economy, is much more similar to pre-1789 France than any other historical period I can think of.
You have a handful of super wealthy people, completely disconnected from any sense of reality, running around telling governments what to do […]
Our socio-economic system since 2008 can be best described as serfdom, and nothing is going to change until people admit this, rather than hanging on to false hopes that they one day too will become an oligarch. It’s not gonna happen.

‘Slavery is over’: Hired Ferguson protesters demand pay ~ Yeah. So much for a spontaneous protest; in Obama’s AmeriKa crime DOES pay ~
“Black Lives Matter” protesters who were apparently hired to cause a ruckus in Ferguson, Missouri, are angry because, they say, they haven’t been paid for their hard work.
So they’ve launched a #CutTheCheck hashtag on Twitter and held a sit-in at the offices of Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment, or MORE – the successor group to (ACORN) in Missouri.
The protesters have received as much as $5,000 a month to generate civil unrest in the troubled suburb of St. Louis, according to FrontPage Mag’s Matthew Vadum.

According to various whistleblowers, Covarrubias-Padilla was scheduled for deportation but approved for DACA and a work permit in October 2012.

Enlightened, Loving University Diversity Officer Calls for Extermination of All White Men ~ It’s not just the U.S., Britain’s colleges are reality-free zones too. “Diversity” apparently now means hateful discrimination ~
A diversity officer at a British university is back in hot water and may lose her job over tweets she made that appear to call for white men to be exterminated.
It’s the latest chapter in the saga of Bahar Mustafa, a student at Goldsmiths, University of London who works there as a welfare and diversity officer. In April, she drew attention for hosting an event about “diversifying” the school’s curriculum that banned whites and men from attending. A few weeks later, she attempted to defend herself by claiming that “I, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men.”
