Darwin for Dummies Week in Education

Darwin for Dummies Week in Education

Your weekly report on education news.

Do American high schools really need to start teaching students not to run into traffic?

Colleges also have an intelligence problem.

Protesting ICE is the new current thing.

Uh-oh.

Excellent.

Some Turning Point USA news.

These lunatics are coming after liberals now.

What about defunding the police?

Oh.

This is so old-timey.

Nice!

Oh please.

Dear Mr. LaChance,

Thank you for your weekly aggregate offerings on my behalf.
I am a reader, lifelong everything unto milk cartons.
However I find myself unable to be serious about news anymore.

I apologize for the embarrassment aggregating these headlines must bring you. Yet you soldier on on my behalf.

Dear Criminals, are you not embarrassed?
You have become pets and projects of bored teenagers?
Whistles, running in front of cars, really?

I used to be concerned about whimpers and bangs… But Fluff?
We are going down in Fluff?

In the mean time I now return to Stardew Valley to await the Haunted Chocolatier.

Again Thank you Mr. LaChance.

And as always Dear Professor Jacobson stay safe.

    Agree in total. I suspect Mike LaC. gets a kick out of highlighting the absurdity in many of the articles he reiterates and the encouragement in others. If there’s a more satisfying way to exercise one’s sense of humor I’m pressed to imagine what it may be.

I can’t say I’ve ever paid attention to whether the “weekly clipshow episode” was written by the same author every time. I’ve just always considered it a canonical “ICYMI” feature of the blog, like the “word from Mutual of Omaha.”
