“It's easy to blame the nature-deficit disorder on the kids' or the parents' back, but they also need the help of urban planners, schools, libraries and other community agents to find nature that's accessible.” NeedsHelpingKidsSchoolEasyParentCommunityBlameLibraryAgentsDisorderUrbanDeficitPlannersSchool Library Author:Richard Louv
“Jerry Falwell knows who caused the terrorist attack on America: the ACLU. "The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this," he declared on the 700 Club, because, he explained, the ACLU, abetted by the federal courts is responsible for "throwing God out of the public square (and) the public schools." This is a familiar charge and a false one. God is still present in the public schools, where students are free to pray, alone or in groups, so long as their prayers aren't officially sponsored and don't infringe on anyone's freedom not to pray.” KnowsLongStillsSchoolAmericaPrayerGroupsStudentsPrayingResponsibleBlameCourtClubsTerroristFamiliarThrowingSquaresPublic SchoolJerryTerrorist Attacks Author:Wendy Kaminer

“I absolutely cannot see how one can later make up for having failed to go to a good school at the proper time. For this is what distinguishes the hard school as a good school from all others: that much is demanded; and sternly demanded; that the good, even the exceptional, is demanded as the norm; that praise is rare, that indulgence is nonexistent; that blame is apportioned sharply, objectively, without regard for talent or antecedents. What does one learn in a hard school? Obeying and commanding.” DoeHardSchoolTalentPraiseRegardBlameNormExceptionalIndulgenceObeyingGood SchoolProper Time Author:Friedrich Nietzsche

And for the Barack Obama administration to focus on this one fact, almost, not to the expense, but to diminish some of the others which are much more important, is to cast all the blame on Israel and to take the U.N. policy toward Israel, which has been longstanding, and sort of surrender to it.” ImportantSchoolFocusPolicyBlameTerrorSurrenderBarackAcknowledgePalestinianGaza Author:David Brooks
