Homage to Treason vs. Vigil for J6 Patriots

by Jack Hassard | Jan 3, 2022 | Political Violence

Update: The GOP cancelled the meeting because Trump cancelled his!!
A group of Republicans will meet at the Cobb GOP headquarters at 799 Roswell St NE, Marietta, GA 30060, which is about 6 miles from my home. I won’t be there. But if you are so inclined, you can witness a bunch of people who think that the insurrectionists were patriots. They weren’t. They participated in political violence, and were out to kill elected representatives of the U.S. government, especially Vice President Mike Pence, and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. And for your information, the program will begin at 5 P.M. but be there at 4:30 to register and have some Trump vodka.

Who Is Getting Infected with COVID-19?

by Jack Hassard | Dec 31, 2021 | COVID-19

COVID-19 is not behind us. Omicron is a reminder that COVID-19 is not only spreading faster than Delta, but that this virus is another mutation as it continues to infect populations around the world. More than 300,000 people a day in the US are getting infected. In fact, the Omicron variant has overtaken Delta in the number of infections each day in most of the world.

Beyond Science Standards

I want to tell you about a book that was just published in the field of science education. It’s a book that I was asked to write the forward. I’ve never been asked to write a forward for a book. But I was honored, and I want to encourage you to examine this book, whether you are a science educator, a scientist or a citizen interested in public education.

A Letter from A Teen Living in 2051 about Education and the Climate Crisis

by Jack Hassard | Oct 28, 2021 | Assessment, Climate Change, Reform

This post focuses on education and climate as seen by a teen living in Atlanta in the year 2051. I originally published it on April 21, 2012. Although a work of fiction, it is presented here as a reminder of the consequences of making decisions based on faulty reasoning and ignorance. I am re-publishing it today ahead of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference being held in Glasgow, Scotland

Climate Change Threat

by Jack Hassard | Oct 1, 2021 | Climate Change

The EPA released a climate report[4] in May 2021 that was hidden or delayed by the Trump administration. This was not surprising given the rebuke of science by Trump. The last time a climate report was released by the EPA was in 2016. The climate report, according to law, is published every four years. So, visiting the EPA climate change indicators page was refreshing. EPA scientists, who did the work three years earlier, finally had their work published and available to the American public. I recommend visiting this page which will provide you with interesting graphics and tools to give you an opportunity to learn how the indicators of climate change are analyzed and used to make predictions and foretell what we need to do to lessen the effect of climate change.

by Jack Hassard | Aug 12, 2021 | COVID-19

The Delta variant is exploding across the United States. Ignorance and callowness is spreading the virus. In Georgia, the situation is serious in all but two counties. What should schools do given what we know?
