The Hindu Poet Who Wrote Pakistan’s First National Anthem
Jagan Nath Azad Pakistan’s first national anthem, Tarana-e-Pakistan, was written by a 30-year-old Hindu poet, Jagan Nath Azad. Muhammad Ali Jinnah was acquainted with Jagan’s work in Urdu poetry but he had not met the poet. In the first week of August 1947, Jinnah asked his staff to bring Jagan before him. Their meeting happened on August 9. Jagan had no clue why he had been brought before Jinnah. He was taken by surprise when Jinnah asked him if he had a song that could be used for Pakistan’s national anthem. He had such a song which he recited. Jinnah liked the song and he deci... read more

St. Louis City Museum
One of our cross country stops was in St.Louis, where we visited The City Museum. If you have children and live anywhere within reach, we recommend this Very Highly. The museum is located in a 600,000 square foot former warehouse of the International Shoe Company, and "museum" is a little bit of a misnomer. There are some displays of historical stuff, but mostly it is a multi-story interactive art installation, a huge complex of immersive art. Your kids will just think it's the best playground in the world. There is no map or guide to what is where, and it seems that something is ... read more

Lumping, Hyperbole, and Education Disruption
I get the occasional note pointing out that I use what appears to be wishy washy language with "some reformsters this" and "a few right wingers that." and while I generally try to avoid fuzziness, this particular fuzziness is deliberate and, I think, necessary. It's incorrect to lump all education disruptors together, because there's a wide array of folks who want a piece of the education disruption action. But they don't all want the same thing, and not only is it unfair to lump them all together, it's just not accurate. There are people who believe in choice, in the idea that th... read more

Chasing Footnotes - Cattle Mutilation Edition
In the past, I have mentioned that it is sometimes difficult to find footnotes that need to be chased. I usually just stumble on them and this is another case of that. While researching another project, I stumbled on the claim that cattle mutilations had a long, century’s old history, which suggested something truly anomalous.
