Numbers sometimes provide clarity.

In the last hundred years, what were the third most brutal regimes if we just count corpses? Nazi Germany. The Soviet Union. Mao’s China. All proclaimed their atheist philosophies. What was the 4th worst? Imperial Japan. Why blame the Bible or Christianity?

You guys rocked!

As you noted, too many English teachers fear #AI and ignore its potential to spark curiosity and strengthen #writing skills. Thank you for sharing your insights, #teaching techniques, and materials. #TESOL25 #ESL #ELT #TESOL

Hamas remains 100 percent responsible for each and every single death on and since the October 7th massacres. Hamas started this jihad; too many secular western “progressive” activists supported Hamas and their barbaric, cruel crimes. Some so-called “advocacy journalists” at the BBC, NPR did too.
