WILLIAM BENNETT, JON HAGE: AI can mimic a teacher, but it cannot shepherd a soul
This summer, at the Sun Valley conference, media, tech, business, and cultural leaders gathered to discuss what is on all our minds: artificial intelligence and where it is taking us. We cannot hide from it any longer. AI will play a fundamental role in nearly everything we do, including how our children learn. It is hard to deny the benefits.

World News 3 hours ago Even Trump Can’t Spin This One The Atlantic - By Charlie Warzel • 3h You can’t post your way out of a war. If President Trump has one true skill, it is conjuring up alternate realities and getting his supporters to accept them.
Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
America turns 250 this year. The celebrations have begun. Fireworks, parades, speeches, concerts, reenactments, and patriotic imagery have filled town squares across the country, with more commemorations still to come. A nation that has endured for a quarter millennium deserves to celebrate its achievements.
BILL BENNETT: What I told my sons about their faith, family and America

Bennett wrote to his sons in 1990 This Letter is being written on a train in the early evening during a very busy week for your Dad, The President’s "Drug Czar."

WILLIAM BENNETT, ROB NOEL: America's moral decline demands action. What conservatives must do now
On Sunday night, Hollywood delivered its latest verdict on American character. The Academy Award for Best Picture went to "One Battle After Another," a film portraying border agents and conservatives as neo-Nazi caricatures while casting violent progressives as moral heroes. The standing ovations and gold statues delivered an unmistakable message: Conservative America is not just wrong but morally grotesque. That message is nothing new from our cultural elites, and it has found its audience.
Bennett, Mohrman: 2026 will give us over 1,000 ways to boost educational freedom
2026 is going to be a watershed year for education policy in the United States. It will be the year that will be known a decade and beyond as when the signature federal education policy of this era took shape.From the news coverage, you may assume I am writing about the elimination of the U.S. Department of Education. I am not. As the former head of that department charged myself with its elimination I dont want to say bureaucratic organizational charts in D.C. and department names are meaningless.

The virtue America forgot: Why gratitude still matters for our national character
Does America need to focus more on the civic virtue of gratitude? It’s a question worth asking as we approach Thanksgiving. We do not mean personal gratitude. Most Americans are no doubt grateful for their families and friends, the roofs over their heads, God’s creation, and the blessings we enjoy in this country. But in our national discourse, do we publicly acknowledge those blessings enough? Do our leaders regularly express thanks for this nation’s greatness?
WILLIAM BENNETT: What Charlie Kirk's murder tells us about the American mind
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity." William Butler Yeats wrote those words about Europe after the Great War, but they ring with terrible clarity this week as we bury Charlie Kirk, murdered at 31 for the crime of arguing in public. The young man who built an empire of discourse from a suburban garage has been silenced by someone who apparently found bullets more persuasive than words.
Why a classical education may be the key to humanity’s future in the AI era
Classical and character-based education may seem to some antiquated concepts in the new AI-driven world. However, two recent and prominent AI developments definitively prove the opposite to be true. Going back to our nation’s founding, great minds were universal in the belief that the survival of the Republic depended on an educated and virtuous public. Now, if AI experts are to be believed, classical and character education is fundamental to the very survival of humanity.
WILLIAM BENNETT, LAMAR ALEXANDER: We both ran the Education Dept and there are 3 things we should keep Original
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The United States survived for two centuries without a federal Department of Education and could do so again. In the 45 years the department has existed, students haven’t made much progress. Nine-year-olds, for example, are reading no better today than they did when the department was created in 1979.
Opinion: An Open Letter to Linda McMahon
Dear Madam Secretary, Congratulations and welcome to a place we once knew well.

Original Article Posted By: Moritz55, 9/15/2024 2:36:35 PM The 2016 election hinged on 40,000 votes in key Midwest states.

"Identification of an ATP/P2X7/Mast Cell Pathway Mediating Ozone-Induce" by Xiaomei Kong, William C Bennett et al.
Ozone is a highly reactive environmental pollutant with well-recognized adverse effects on lung health. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is one consequence of ozone exposure, particularly for individuals with underlying lung disease. Our data demonstrated that ozone induced substantial ATP release from human airway epithelia in vitro and into the airways of mice in vivo and that ATP served as a potent inducer of mast cell degranulation and BHR, acting through P2X7 receptors on mast cells.

Campus chaos and anti-Israel rhetoric reveal stark failures of today’s higher education
What is going on at today's universities in terms of the campus protests tells you that we have abandoned the single most important function of higher education. And that is higher education. People have forgotten that civilization is not self-executing. It has to be nurtured, protected and taught. VIRTUES OF COURAGE, COMPASSION, WORK, FRIENDSHIP — THESE MUST BE TAUGHT, SAY BILL BENNETT, ELAYNE BENNETT It has to be emphasized in order to be maintained.

Colleges, chaos and cash: No wonder confidence in higher education today is so low
Colleges today aren't sure what they're doing. An application process that for decades focused on SAT and ACT scores is gone for the most part. Yet there are now signs of a comeback, as some Ivy League institutions are reinstating a mandatory submission of scores after changes were put in place during the COVID pandemic. Millions of parents enrolled their kids in SAT and ACT prep programs or tutoring arrangements — then the scores disappeared. Now they’re reappearing for some schools.

American education is in the midst of a crisis — something concerned parents all over the country know well. Far more complex and troubling than today's declining test scores, the K-12 crisis involves the most fundamental ideas about what education should be for our young people. For all the learning loss tied to misguided COVID policies, one silver lining is that American parents are more focused on what’s happening at school since the pandemic.

An Advantaged Disease, Indeed
As you know, the coronavirus—if you catch it, and get very sick—is a terrible thing to go through and you may even die. The virus and the fear of it are sorely testing our medical capacity in some places. And the body count will get much worse this week, right before Easter. The heroic efforts and sacrifice of many doctors, nurses, and volunteer civilians are all notable and praiseworthy. Millions of Americans are pulling together. We all know this.
Polyurethane Involved As Cars Evolve
Consider the evolution of the automobile. The earliest car builders used wood to shape the bodies of their vehicles. In 1916, Dodge used steel to make the entire body of the 30-34 Phaeton. Eventually, most vehicles were made of stamped steel, which made the bodies durable, strong and heavy. Despite the ubiquity of steel, American automakers were stillusing wood in their auto bodies until the 1950s.

Moral education in the schools
Edwin J. Delattre & William J. Bennett Winter 1978 THE belief that moral values should be taught to young Americans in the schools is at least as old as the nation itself. Thomas Jefferson’s Bill For the More General Diffusion of Knowledge argued for an educational system that would fortify citizens with moral probity to resist the schemes of the enemies of liberty.
CLINTON, GAYS, AND THE TRUTH
MUCH OF OFFICIAL WASHINGTON has been mulling over what the "Clinton legacy" will be. On the second Saturday in November, President Clinton may have provided the answer. For it was on that day that, for the first time, an American president conferred upon homosexuals the blessing of the highest office in the land. In his November 8 speech to the Human Rights Campaign dinner, Bill Clinton made a startling claim.
Synchrotron X-ray spectroscopy for investigating vanadium speciation in marine sediment: limitations and opportunities
Vanadium (V) exists in a number of oxidation states in the environment, potentially making it a useful chemical tracer of both modern and ancient redox conditions in the Earth’s oceans. However, the use of V as a redox tracer relies on a comprehensive understanding of V geochemistry in marine systems, which in turn requires the ability to accurately measure its solid-phase speciation in marine sediments.
