School Exclusion Data Tells us More About Schools Than About Children
There needs to be a louder public conversation about the ways in which the media perpetuates political myths about children and young people. 'Problem families' are currently a common target; Louise Casey, head of the government's troubled families unit, was reported in the Telegraph recently as suggesting that '(m)others in large problem families should be "ashamed" of the damage they are doing to society and stop having children'.

The Conversion of a Climate Change Skeptic
Richard Muller, NY Times
CALL me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct.
