Some teachers showed his speech, some did not (in Jordan District, the school board left it to the discretion of the teacher, requiring parental approval before showing it).
Anyone read any good books lately? I quite enjoyed OUTLIERS by Malcolm Gladwell (liberal alert! I disagreed with some of his premises) and COMMON SENSE by Glenn Beck and COMMON SENSE by Thomas Paine.

What is the difference between the Common Sense books?
Oh...and I have just read Atlas Shrugged, then I went a little lighter and read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I am finally done with that series!
I have not read a single Harry Potter book (gasp!). I just wiki-ed Atlas Shrugged. Looks like an interesting book!
Thomas Paine's Common Sense was an argument for throwing off Great Britain and going to war. Beck's Common Sense is an argument for limited government.
I thin kit's ridiculous that Glenn Beck thought himself equal enough to name his book Common Sense like Thomas Paine did.
I'm currently reading about the first Greek philosophers, but i'm still on Socrates. I have a list of recommendations from a friend i could send you if you want
