A Florida Atlantic University student has been punished for refusing his professor’s directive to stomp on a piece of paper with the word “Jesus” written on it. The university is defending the assignment as a “lesson in debate” and upholding the professor’s “right” to punish the student for having, you know, faith in Jesus. No word on why the curriculum specifically instructs students to stomp on the name of JESUS … not on, say, MUHAMMED, or BUDDHA, or SHIVA, or OBAMA or ………. you fill in the blanks. Also no explanation for why refusing to stomp was not a valid and/or valuable part of this “lesson on debate.”

Glenn Beck and Gaming by Angelaisms
I’d like to recommend this blog posty by my friend, Angelaisms, in which she correctly uses both “effect” and “affect”, while making a common sense argument on behalf of good parenting and video gaming.

Thanks, as always, Chrissy! But I must confess, I did get the effect/affect thing wrong a couple of times in my original submission. Our editor-in-chief, the lovely Miss Leah Sargent, was kind enough to clean up that mess.

Those are tough ones! (Can’t guarantee I use them right every time myself.)
