Civic Virtue: Teach Your Children Well

There's a discussion brewing at Concurring Opinions around a book by lawprofs  James Fleming and Linda McClain entitled Ordered Liberty: Rights, Responsibilities, and Virtues, which has raised a troubling question. Should the federal government be allowed to compel schools to teach children to be patriots?  No, not your kind of patriots. Not my kind either. The kind of patriots who yell "America, love it or leave it."

Kent Greenfield questions the propriety of forced patriotism:

[Fleming and McClain] use  as an opening foil an op-ed I wrote in the New York Times in 2011 arguing that Constitution Day is a bad idea and “probably” unconstitutional. In that essay and in a couple of others, I have revealed Constitution Day to be a bete noire of mine. Constitution Day, as you probably know if you’re an academic, is a federal mandate dating from 2005 that any school receiving federal funds — public or private, kindergarten or law school — conduct some kind of educational program on the constitution on or about September 17 of each year. My basic argument is that it operates as a federal content-based mandate on those schools and thus amounts to coerced speech under the First Amendment. More broadly, I argue that coerced patriotism is a Bad Thing, using as my text Justice Jackson’s admonition in West Virginia v Barnette: “To believe that patriotism will not flourish if patriotic ceremonies are voluntary and spontaneous, instead of a compulsory routine, is to make an unflattering estimate of the appeal of our institutions to free minds.”

While some of us view Constitution Day as an opportunity to remind people that it protects individual rights and liberties from the government, schools tend more toward banners and platitudes about the great glory of the nation, filling the minds of innocent children with faith that government is our friend.

Sitting through a high school awards ceremony last year, I noted how many prizes and awards were handed out for various flavors of civic virtue.  Whether called citizenship or patriotism, the point (together with a very directed incentive system) was to foster the belief that our government is good and their support of the government, no matter what, wins a prize. 

In response, the author Fleming writes:

Greenfield poses the question, “Does our judgment of what constitutes a valid exercise of the federal government’s power to encourage civic virtue depend on the content of what is being encouraged?” Our answer is, yes, it most certainly does. As we put it, quoting the Supreme Court, government may “inculcate fundamental values necessary to the maintenance of a democratic political system.”

Values? Like critical thinking? Like understanding how to assert the rights protected? Like voting?  The problem isn't that there are civic virtues worthy of being fostered, but that left in the hands of the government, the obvious fear is that they will be the values the government wants us to have: obedience, passivity toward government abuse, blind faith and "America, love it or leave it."

While many here are busy arguing about the nuts and bolts of how the interests of the government, particularly law enforcement, conflict with the rights of the people, we rarely give much thought to what those other folks are telling our children about how they should think and behave.  As parents, we naturally assume that we are the most significant influence on our children's world view, and therefore waste little time thinking about what others offer.  And indeed, this is probably the case.

At the same time, does the government really have a role to play in teaching our children to be good little citizens?  Should they be dangling federal funding in front of school district's noses, theirs for the taking if only they throw a party for the government on command?  How many public school superintendents are disinclined to embrace the whole civic virtue concept anyway?  Like our civic leaders in Washington, local school bosses are very much in tune with a student body that adores and appreciates their prominence.

Is civic virtue a bad thing? That depends. Are we teaching children the good and bad, the right and wrong, the rights and responsibilities, of being an American?  Are we teaching it accurately or are we instilling a religious belief that our government can do no wrong and the highest virtue is to trust and support the government no matter what? 

The problem is that there are no prizes given out to students who are the best at asserting their right to counsel or their refusal to consent to a search.  The Constitutional Day mandate is a government project. The compelled celebration is one of the greatness of our government and our system.  It may be the same Constitution that the rest of us read, but it's tied up in the government's bow.

For those who believe that nothing short of revolution will salvage our freedoms, there's nothing about civic virtue that will bring a smile to your face. For those who believe that the concept of republicanism can only survive with a knowledgeable and informed citizenry, then civic virtue has its merit. But is it best left in the hands of government to foster its own adoration?  There's the rub.

Like the other Greenfield, the notion of the government, an entity that should putatively exist to serve the needs of the citizenry, throwing itself a party and coercing (or encouraging, if one prefers such rhetorical distinctions) our youth to join in the fun, isn't nearly as worthwhile as a government earning the appreciation of its citizens, who then show spontaneous appreciation for the good it does.

But that would require the government to worry less about how to get the public to become obedient patriots, making the job of people who were once called public servants but now call themselves our Leaders far more difficult and much less satisfying.  Civic virtue is a wonderful thing. Just not theirs.

Hugh Jackman Put The Danger Back Into The Easter Bunny For 'Rise Of The Guardians'

For the animated film "Rise of the Guardians," the creators and star Hugh Jackman had a unique challenge on their hands. How do you take the most cuddly of all mythological holiday creatures, the Easter Bunny, and turn him into something believably tough? The answer ended up being "Let Jackman be Jackman."

In an exclusive clip from the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release of "Rise of the Guardians," the recent Academy Award nominee explains how he wanted to bring a bit of himself to the Easter Bunny, keeping his manly edge and the rarely heard Australian accent.

"Rise of the Guardians" hits Blu-ray and DVD on March 12.

Oscars Red Carpet: Past Fashion Fails! PHOTOS

Oscars fashion is always a hot topic, good or bad, people like to gab. This week I am bringing you Oscars Red Carpet photos – the fashion fail edition from previous years! I also want to hear your thoughts on who is going to make headlines for bad fashion choices – Jennifer Lawrence anyone?

Oscars 1

 

Of course there have been many fashion mishaps on the red carpet over the years, but some are just so bad, we must relive them again. I have a few of my favorite fashion fails from the Academy Awards!


At last years Academy Awards, Jennifer stepped out in a Zuhair Murad dress which hugged her curvy figure and was almost breath taking. But the holes in the sleeves took it to that “Jersey Shore” club wear type thing and it just didn’t fly. Other wise, she would have been stunning!

Zooey Deschanel

Let’s start off with Zooey Deschanel. Her 2005 Oscar dress was a pale 30’s inspired curtain looking thing.

Naomi Watts

In 2006 Naomi Watts’ rocked a beige colored Givenchy gown covered in tulle gown. Back then it was called a “shredded catastrophe” and looking like it “was glued together by a three-year-old”. Yikes.

Charlize Theron

Also in 2006, Charlize Theron looks a hot mess wearing a black Cruella Deville gown by Christian Dior.

Jessica Biel 1

In 2009 Jessica Biel rocked this ugly Prada gown. She had no chance of looking good anyway right? I mean after all her date was the always hot, Justin Timberlake.

Tilda Swinton

Tilda Swinton wears weird stuff in general, and this Lanvin Oscars ensemble in 2009 was no exception.

Vera Farmiga

Vera Farmiga looked like a Christmas package in this ruffled Marquesa number in 2011.

Diane Kruger

Diane Kruger did not pull off this Chanel dress in 2011 as well. Or rather, Chanel did not pull off Diane!

Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman wore this couture Christian Lacroix in 2004 and ended up looking like she was doing a scene for Kill Bill instead.

Of course I know I am missing some, like the obvious Bjork Swan Dress – but I wanted to recognize those who were not so obvious, and give some other celebrities a chance to take the fashion fail spotlight.

So what did you think of my special edition fashion fail? Who did I leave off?

Yeah, You Know You've Thought About It

punch%20fight%20fist.jpg

Admit it. You've thought about it. Some jackass steals your parking spot. You want blood (or at least some bruising). But you don't do anything because ... it's a parking spot. Well, one of both of these gents felt otherwise, per timesonline.com (Beaver, PA):

[Franklin] Township police said officers were initially called around 6:40 p.m. Monday to the Giant Eagle parking lot for a report of a pedestrian being struck by a car, but then learned the incident was actually a man who had been assaulted.
Police said two men got into an argument over a parking spot, and one man assaulted the other. The man who was assaulted went to Ellwood City Hospital to be evaluated, but police said they did not believe he suffered any serious injuries.
Police did not release the names of anyone involved. No charges had been filed as of Tuesday night.
No arrest? Perhaps the injured party was the aggressor? Here's the source.

Jwoww For No H8

JWoww is promoting a great cause and joins the many celebs who have stood up for equal rights.

Jenni, who now stars in her own reality show along side Shore cast mate Snooki, is the latest celebrity to join the NoH8 campaign. The viral campaign promotes marriage, gender and human equality.

Most celebs do the photos with duck tape over their mouths, but of course Jenni Farley also taped up her chest. Nice. That is one way to get noticed.

“I followed them and they followed me back. I messaged them so I wouldn’t embarrass myself being like, ‘Hey, you guys want to do a photo shoot with me? I love your cause; I think it’s amazing.’ They completely agreed. The first opportunity I got to meet with them, I did. It was a great experience. The story blew up because of human kindness. Don’t hate on your fellow man. It’s very inspirational.”

Jennie, who was recently proposed to by her longtime boyfriend Roger, also talked about her own upcoming nuptials.

“I know I want a tight princess cut dress with boobs out and a bachelor/bachelorette party in Vegas,” she told MTV.

She is too much!!! Jenni turns 27 today so happy birthday JWoww!!!

Others celebrities and reality stars (are they the same thing??) who have participated in the NO H8 effort, photographed by Adam Bouska include Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, LeAnn Rimes, Tori and Dean, Kailyn Lowry and Lindsay Lohan….To name a few.

What o you think about the pic? Jenni looks amazing! Now I think she should lay off the surgery cause she is about perfect and almost too plastic. Who knew these Jersey Shore kids would be so epic. Spin offs, real celeb status and a guilty pleasure of many.

What’s next MTV? I don’t think those Buckwild kids hold a candle to Pauly, Mike, Vinny, Snooki, Jenni and Deena. Too bad Snooki got knocked up!

Linda Hogan DUI Arrest: More Than One Glass?

Sure, sure Linda Hogan. DUI arrests are always done by mistake. You only had one glass of champagne, which totally explains your elevated BAL of .084. Right? Well, police said it was NOT.


Photo: Linda Hogan
Credit: LA County Sheriff

Yes, everyone is innocent until proven guilty in all of the 50 states — even Texas. So this case is no exception. Just because she was allegedly caught speeding around Malibu, then failing a breathalyzer, doesn’t mean anything. She told them all it took was a single glass.

Now for the awesome story cooked up by her people. What caused her to seem intoxicated? They say she only had one glass of champagne at an event, and that she was on antibiotics which multiplied the effects of the alcohol.

Regardless, she earned two separate charges. Lucky for her it’s her first ever DUI arrest, which means she will likely avoid the option of jail time. She will most likely go into some sort of treatment program, or surrender his license for a while until she is released from the program.

That will be that.

Meanwhile her ex-husband has been in the news lately himself. You may remember all of the drama surrounding the alleged “sex tape,” that he alleged starred in. Maybe all of this stress has gotten to her head and it’s starting to bottle up.

I doubt it though, they both seemed to have moved on quite well for having been together so long. It still bums me out that they are divorced. While Hulk was ultra over protective of his kids, I grew up watching him on TV and he is from my home town. They live a few miles away, or they did when they were married. This was a sad case of the reality show curse. I hope they can both be happy in the long run though.

Looking back on her old reality show with the hulkster, it didn’t seem like they drank that much. But apparently there is a problem now.

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth Are Freaking Fine, Despite All The Weirdness Lately

We sure weren’t expecting to hear this!

In fact, we’re more than a little surprised to find out Miley Cyrus and her studmuffin are still living in the land of hugs and kisses these days.

Things have been plenty hectic for Mileybird what with the many, many pot pics popping up all over the place.

Seriously, there have been a helluva lot of pics!

And things certainly didn’t get better when Liam Hemsworth was spotted leaving a pre-Oscar party with January Jones while Miley was caught hanging with a mystery man the same day!

But, fear not Perezcious readers, all of this is just another day in the wacky life of Miley and Liam, as a source revealed:

“They are totally together.”

Even though the cray cray lovebirds were also apart for the Oscars, it seems that was just because Miley’s doting mom, Tish Cyrus, had never been to Elton John’s fabtacular Oscar party, so the songstress decided to treat her mom to the fun night out.

So Miley was just being an awesome daughter? Adorbz!

The source also added that the engagement is most definitely still on.

Does that mean we can go back to daydreaming about her wedding dress??

We just hope she kicks that nasty smoking habit before the big day.

A cloud of smoke doesn’t exactly complement a wedding dress!

An Unzipped Fly, And A Textbook Case Of Self-Incrimination

zipper%20unzipped%20zip%20unzip.jpg

It pays to know and understand the Constitution, especially the 5th Amendment. A man in Fort Walton Beach, Florida would be well-advised to read it, or at least catch a few episodes of Law & Order. As reported by the Northwest Florida Daily News:

A man stopped for driving with an inoperable brakelight on Nov. 23 was questioned when the officer noticed the man's pants were unbuttoned and unzipped. The condition of the man's pants was obvious when he was asked to step out and look at the lights for himself.
Yeah, probably the first guy ever to have a partially unzipped fly...
When the officer questioned him, the driver said he had just left his girlfriend's house and had picked up the 36-year-old female in his car to give her a ride home.
Okay...
After the officer advised the man that he believed a sexual act was performed in the vehicle, the man said the female had offered to perform that sexual act for $20. The man added that he had paid the $20 but had not yet gotten the act.
Really? It's not like you were tied to a chair, with a hammer about to smash your toes. How about this answer: nuh-uh.
The defendant had $20 in her pocket, according to her Fort Walton Beach Police Department arrest report.
She was charged with soliciting for prostitution.
Really? What about the loose-lipped, would-be john? Not cool.

Exclusive '21 And Over' Footage Introduces You To Miller

From the trailers and TV ads, "21 and Over" might seem like a run-of-the-mill college party movie, but what you might not have been able to pick up on from the previews is the talent of the actors behind the three lead characters, Miles Teller, Skylar Astin, and Justin Chon.

In anticipation of the release of "21 and Over" on March 1, we're bringing you an exclusive look at Teller's character Miller, the wise-ass motor mouth that encourages the drunken night of 21-year-old festivities at the center of the movie.

Teller gives Miller a lovable smart ass spin that's absolutely necessary for a movie like this. Check out some of his more outrageous insults and one-liners in the video above!

"21 and Over" opens on March 1.
