BBC Online has a fine feature called The Day in Pictures, which today yielded A competitor in the World Bog Snorkelling Championships in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales emerges from the water.

• Is this a mental condition caused by vowel deficiency?
• That is so cool!

A whole political-media machinery now exists for the sole purpose of mocking education rooted in an appreciation for diverse humanity, but in the false guise of allegedly brave and serious “heterodox” thought.

The way reading is taught now is an *excellent* way to prepare kids for a sterile, joyless work life devoid of imagination and curiosity.
