Not only is it full of short essays on important issues of our time, all written in the context of Trump and the disaster of our politics and the constitution itself. It also serves as a list of recommended readings, my goal is to read about 10 of them before the 2026 election.

OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

The University of Oklahoma takes seriously concerns involving First Amendment rights, certainly including religious freedoms. Upon receiving notice from the student on the grading of an assignment, the University immediately began a full review of the situation and has acted swiftly to address the matter.
First, the college acted immediately to address the academic issue raised by the student. College leaders contacted her on the day her letter was received and have maintained regular communication throughout the process. As previously stated, a formal grade appeals process was conducted. The process resulted in steps to ensure no academic harm to the student from the graded assignments.
Second, the student reported filing a claim of illegal discrimination based on religious beliefs to the appropriate university office. OU has a clear process for reviewing such claims and it has been activated.
The graduate student instructor has been placed on administrative leave pending the finalization of this process. To ensure fairness in the process, a full-time professor is serving as the course instructor for the remainder of the semester.
OU remains firmly committed to fairness, respect and protecting every student's right to express sincerely held religious beliefs.

"Children who read, and are read to, do better at school. Actually, I don't care about them doing better at school, though others will. What I care about is the climate of the mind, the leap into suggestions of good and bad, of moral imperatives, of social possibilities, of other worlds."

It's not the core of anyone's philosophy, it's a desperate state of affairs reached in dire circumstances when people hit the tipping point that makes all the risks and consequences of physically opposing an oppressive regime worth it. I hope you never have to experience that.

I'm thinking you must be at a higher altitude than we are. I'm guessing there may possibly be snow up in the hills, but we rarely get even a dusting at sea level.

Am I going to trust the skills of a person who had to be twice as good to be considered half as qualified? Am I going to trust someone who grew up in an old thriving community, despite being below sea level, to know more about dams and levees than Frank's son who could use a steady city job?

WAR, SAM, WHM, DRG, and PAL are her canon classes. She is also an archer, but not a BRD. The ones she uses most are WAR, SAM, and WHM, and she glams to whatever climate she's adventuring in! All different, usually.
