La ideología es como la sombra: siempre nos acompaña http://www.cronicaviva.com.pe/columna/la-ideologia-es-como-la-sombra-siempre-nos-acompana/ Publicado el 03-11-2017 LEONARDO BOFF AGREGAR UNA COMA A ESTE ARTÍCULO SERIA UNA HEREJÍA. Trasladen este excelente artículo a nuestra enferma sociedad y sabremos todo lo que nos falta. El tema de la ideología está a la orden del día: ideología de género, política, económica, religiosa etc. Intentemos poner en claro esta cuestión. 1. Todo el mundo tiene una determinada ideología. Es decir, cada uno se hace una idea (de ahí ideología) de la vida y del mundo. Tanto el vendedor de palomitas de maíz de la esquina como la persona que atiende el teléfono o el profesor universitario. Es inevitable, porque somos seres pensantes con ideas. Querer una escuela sin ideología es no entender nada…

Defending School Threats In Social Media
Last weekend ABC News reported the Pasco County Florida Sheriff’s Office recently arrested a female juvenile accused of using social media to make online threats against three schools. According to an arrest report, the 13 year-old girl created an Instagram account with the username “Jake The Klown” and wrote a post last week claiming Gulf Middle, Gulf High, and River Ridge High schools in New Port Richey, 40 miles north of Saint Petersburg, would be attacked on Monday, October 30, 2017. The report further states the girl told deputies the post was a prank. The eighth grader, who is not being identified because of her age, faces a felony charge of written threats to kill or do bodily harm. A skilled criminal defense lawyer familiar with this charge, however, may be able to get the charge reduced, or even dismissed. The crime of written threats to kill or do bodily harm is governed by Florida Statute section 836.10. That section provides…

DRP surcharges impinging on post-Harvey rebound for thousands of Texans
Image H/T: TCJCThe Texas Department of Public Safety announced it would waive $11 driver replacement fees for people in the 50 counties affected by Hurricane Harvey. But that's not the biggest barrier to getting a drivers license for tens of thousands people trying to get back on their feet after one of Texas' biggest natural disasters. Go here to ask Texas state leaders to waive Driver Responsibility Program surcharges for people living in Harvey-affected areas.Ultimately, they should abolish the DRP entirely. But until the Legislature takes that step, the agency has authority to grant amnesty. And this sort of large-scale emergency clearly justifies taking every possible step to get people in the region street-legal and back to work.

Just Look at Them and Sigh
It was April 2, 1997, just over 20 years ago. A sheriff's deputy was taking Alva Campbell from jail to the courthouse where he was set to be arraigned on a charge of aggravated robbery.But Campbell broke away, stole the deputy's pistol, and ran off. Charles Dials was driving by in his pickup. Campbell stopped the truck, jumped in at gunpoint, and drover around with Dials in the passenger seat for a few hours. Then he had Dials get down on the floor and shot him twice in the head. (It wasn't Campbell's first killing. He'd been paroled five years earlier after serving 20 years on a first degree murder conviction.)Campbell drove around some more, stole another car, though that driver escaped. He tried unsuccessfully to steal another car, again the driver escaped. Police caught him hiding in a tree. He surrendered and confessed.He's been on death row since 1998. The State of Ohio plans to kill…

In-Home Nurse Caught on Video Arrested for Possible Child Abuse
A man working as a caregiver for a young boy with special needs has been accused of child abuse after his mother viewed disturbing footage on her nanny cam. The 6-year-old boy reportedly suffers from a genetic disorder called CHARGE syndrome, and while it has a recognizable pattern of symptoms they present differently in each child. Oftentimes babies are born with this affliction which causes problems such as eye and heart defects, ear and hearing obstacles, and emotional as well as developmental setbacks. Due to his illness the boy’s hearing is highly diminished which causes him the inability to properly speak, and he requires a medical feeding tube in order to eat because he has trouble with breathing and swallowing.

Why Aren’t You Outraged?
At PrawfsBlawg, Howard Wasserman points to the Atlantic’s post about the Reedies Against Racism protesting the required course, Humanities 110. At Reed College, a small liberal-arts school in Portland, Oregon, a 39-year-old Saturday Night Live skit recently caused an uproar over cultural appropriation. In the classic Steve Martin skit, he performs a goofy song, “King Tut,” meant to satirize a Tutankhamun exhibit touring the U.S. and to criticize the commercialization of Egyptian culture. You could say that his critique is weak; that his humor is lame; that his dance moves are unintentionally offensive or downright racist. All of that, and more, was debated in a humanities course at Reed. But many students found the video so egregious that they opposed its very presence in class. “That’s like somebody … making a song just littered with the n-word everywhere,” a member of Reedies Against Racism (RAR) told the student newspaper when…

Court victory by defending from within – Fairfax criminal lawyer’s approach
Court victory is never obtained through wishful thinking, stroking a lucky rabbit’s foot, nor good looks. As a Fairfax criminal lawyer, I know that court victory comes from a lawyer’s relying on his or her own ability, wits, human greatness, sweat and toil. Court victory for a criminal defense lawyer needs to be directed from within, without looking to blame external circumstances Court victory by defending from within – Fairfax criminal lawyer’s approach. (Lotus flowers in Washington, D.C. Photo by Jon Katz). One of the biggest obstacles to winning in a Virginia criminal case is getting self-debilitated by Virginia’s crabbed evidentiary discovery rules, the power of a jury in recommending a sentence, prosecutors who throw proverbial dirt at the criminal defense lawyer’s face, and police who laugh against the Bill of Rights. After twenty-five years of defending clients in criminal court, most of these dysfunctions and slights in the criminal…

Short Take: Holding Hands, Kicking Stones
When Cristian Farias twitted about his excellent post, detailing Rochelle Garza’s representation of Jane Doe, he used the phrase “held the hand of a once-pregnant undocumented teen in Texas.” This reminded Blake Feldman of what Bronx Defenders founder Robin Steinberg told him when he was an intern. I’ll never forget Robin Steinberg telling me & 50 other interns that we don’t have to be “hand holders” or “trial jocks.” We can be both https://t.co/eRC2KwFDts — Blake Feldman (@bfeldman89) November 4, 2017 Robin takes a holistic view of the relationship between criminal defense lawyers and their clients, where hand-holding is just as much of the job as trying their case. Years ago, this wouldn’t require any further discussion, as it was understood that part of the job included the emotional management of a client. Today, it’s not so clear. In the Jane Doe case, Garza’s client was an undocumented…

Texas should now look to other states for justice-reform solutions
Texas Sen. John Cornyn keeps touting the "Texas model" for reducing incarceration, and has signed onto federal reform proposals. But Texas' big probation/parole reforms were more than a decade ago now and - aside from raising the property-theft thresholds in 2015 to keep up with inflation - the state hasn't done much since.Thankfully, the models for what state-level criminal-justice reform might look like are proliferating, and becoming more interesting.Oklahoma voters last year approved reclassifying low-level drug possession from a felony to a misdemeanor.Massachusetts' reforms included raising the age of adult culpability to 19 years old and repealing mandatory minimums, including for drug sales in school zones. (In Texas, 17-year olds are charged as adults, and drug-sales in school zones triggers major enhancements.)Louisiana's reforms included reducing the harshest sentences for some violent offenders, as well as good-time policies…

Optical illusions for traffic calming?
Society spends a lot of money on the question, "how do you get drivers to slow down and pay attention?" From traffic engineers to law enforcement to public-education campaigns - none seem to have good solutions. (Well, the traffic engineers do, but most cities aren't willing to re-imagine their fundamental ways of doing things.)But in Iceland they're pioneering a traffic calming method which requires only a few buckets of paint: Creating optical illusions at pedestrian crosswalks. Check it out:No word yet on evidence whether or not the tactic works. But there's plenty of evidence that it's awesome! Some others are even more artsy and elaborate.H/T: Adafruit.

Where The Boys Are
In a flash of passive-aggressive cogency, Jezebel spanks the “male feminist.” Even as satire, its existence seemed to feed into the stereotype that men who position themselves as male feminists are overcompensating for their misogyny. Buried in there is the acknowledgement that the neo-feminist obsession with misogyny permeates their allies. After all, they are male, and therefore must confess and repent their toxic masculinity, even though they can never cleanse themselves of their maleness. Where does someone learn such things? It’s a good job no one starts a postgraduate degree in gender studies to meet men: my MPhil class at Cambridge contains precisely zero of them. Apparently, this is anomalous, according to course director Dr Andy Tucker. In the three previous years there have been a quarter to a third men: a better turnout than on many gender programmes. Why is there such a dearth of male students? Especially when there are so many male…

MARILU MARTENS (sonrisitas) – GÉNERO no SEXO

Para combatir una discriminación que es aprendida desde la formación de la identidad de las personas no es suficiente repetir como borregos que “no debemos discriminar entre hombres y mujeres”, sino entender el origen y mecanismo de esa discriminación. Para ello, debemos distinguir el sexo de una persona y las distintas series de características que las sociedades han asociado a lo largo de la historia a los hombres y mujeres. Sin embargo, esto no será posible si no identificamos estas características por su nombre: género. Resistirse a distinguir entre sexo y género, o usar la terminología…
