Public school propaganda: a sixth-grade class writes half-angry, half-sobbing letters to a conservative think tank to say that the think tank's position on global warming is evil. Some of the kids expect to be dead in ten years, from what they write. And we thought school was a place to learn critical thinking. [2]
The lid has just blown off the scandal of pornography on Wikipedia. They not only have it on their site; they also celebrate editors who "make outstanding contributions" to this—er—area.[3]
UPDATE: Wikipedia has an image of a nude underage girl in its database. It is an obsolete album cover of an album that issued in 1976, a cover banned in the United States precisely because it suggests an incitement to statutory rape. The FBI is investigating the image and the circumstances of its hosting. Wikipedia could now face prosecution for hosting child pornography.[4]
FURTHER UPDATE: Wikipedia, true to form, has merely nominated the nude underage girl image for deletion. On this project the administration would act at once—but over there, the editors get to debate it, and some of their editors are comparing the FBI to jihadist Muslims to support their votes against deletion.

Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research gives a reason: conservatives do not insist upon a mindless "equality".
"Research suggests that highly egalitarian women are less happy in their marriages compared with their more traditional counterparts, apparently because they are more troubled by disparities in domestic labor."[11]

The National Post has a devastating expose of Bias in Wikipedia with respect to global warming and smearing critics of it. The page "was frozen [but it] cast doubt on claims of a consensus on climate change. Although this was done within Wikipedia rules, [William] Connolley intervened to revert the page and ensure Wikipedia readers saw only what he wanted them to see." [15]
