It happens. Every once in a while, especially in May, some of us leave our computer screens. Sure, we might smell a flower or two, but we miss the torrent of news stories that keeps flowing through the interwebs. Here are some of the stories SAGLRROILYBYGTH might have missed over the past week:
Should schools do more to include controversial issues? An interview with Jon Zimmerman about his new book, The Case for Contention.
Have Jerry Falwell Jr. and other evangelical Trumpists turned themselves into “court evangelicals?” Have they “sacrificed the prophetic voice of their Christian faith for a place of power and influence in the current administration”? John Fea says yes at Religion News Service.
Who is the extremist here? Texas A&M students protest that Professor Thomas Curry is not an anti-white violent radical.

Words, words, words…
Bill Nye’s new show stinks. Tyler Huckabee argues in WaPo that Nye should have studied evangelical outreach first.
Remember MOOCs? They were going to spell the end of traditional higher education. Why haven’t they? At IHE, Joshua Kim offers three reasons.
Regulating homeschool: A dramatic Kansas case draws attention to the lack of rules about homeschooling. Is homeschooling to blame for this seven-year-old’s murder?
Thanks to everyone who sent in stories and tips.

/ May 22, 2017Thanks for asking! The University of Chicago Press has a handy-dandy list. So far, we’re up to three titles. I haven’t read The Case for Contention yet, but I’m looking forward to it.
