Maybe, in general, we have to see America ironically. In fact, maybe we should refer to America as "America". A high school student is not allowed to return to his school because he, wait for it, made fun of some of the teachers. I ask, perhaps naively, isn't this the entire point of high school? It certainly was for me.

"Carroll (The Book)," a 14-page publication, was modeled after comedian Jon Stewart's book "America (The Book)." The boy's version includes diagrams, profanity, photos and a picture of school Principal Deb Neumeyer on the cover.

I can just see the administration spluttering, 'Insubordination. This boy needs reprimanding. This could lead to terrorist activities later in life or worse. He could put an eye out.'

America's future not completely in jeopardy

US law students (!) lead a very simple, very effective protest against the decline of American civil liberties. Bravo. (Lawyers are so cute when they still care.) (From BoingBoing)

Would you like some Greece on your Turkey?

Turkey has charged a publisher with insulting Turkishness. Apparently, the writer of the book, who is Greek and therefore unchargeable, suggested parts of Turkey were dirty. Who thinks up this stuff?

HLS story true?

Was the story we linked to yesterday about a student being visited by Homeland Security agents over the borrowing of a book by Mao completely true? The reporter says so, but some blogger-types beg to differ. The realist in me says, what is truth? The conspiracy theorist in me says, smear job by HLS! Black Ops! Black Ops! Bork! Bork! Bork!

All that learnin' is gonna get him inta some hat wah-tah...

A UMass student who requested Mao's Little Red Book through an inter-library loan gets a visit from Homeland Security. You know, my Yanky brethren, they'll be making movies about this time in 50 years and shaking their heads that nobody did anything sooner... (From Boing Boing)
