Lesson From New Hampshire

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: ''Hanging out in New Hampshire for the run-up to the primary is a powerful education in how undemocratic the American political system is. Corporate-funded journalists run around, jockeying for access to corporate-funded candidates, who, in the case of this Republican field, spent roughly $53 million campaigning in two states, both of which are over 90 percent white, where about 350,000 people voted.''

The 4- to 14-Year Old Window: Turning Children Into Evangelists in Public Schools

Katherine Stewart, Truthout and PublicAffairs: ''When an after-school 'Bible study' program called the Good News Club showed up at the Santa Barbara public school where journalist Katherine Stewart sent her children, she decided to take a closer look at its sponsoring organization, the Child Evangelism Fellowship, and other groups like it. Stewart was surprised to learn that there is more religion in public education today than there has been in the past 100 years.''
