Should Kids Need Parental Consent to Get Sex Education in School?
Nancy Niemi, member of the University of New Haven's education faculty, says opting
out of sex education shouldn't be allowed in public schools. "This is an issue of
curriculum, not of sex," she says. "Schools only ask parents for permission to present
issues when they perceive they may get uncomfortable questions and questioning from
parents. Why don’t we ask parents for permission to talk about war? About immigration?
About fractions?"

In the future envisioned by Google, Internet access will be a basic human right -
but via a network that requires prepaid online registration. And for those left stranded
in the digital age - the poor, the elderly - the result is far short of e-mancipation.
Eun-A Park, member of the University of New Haven's communications and mass media
faculty, fears the project will create a permanent underclass. "[Google's] fiber service
deployment means multiplicity of the digital divide, multidimensionality of the digital
divide...You can see it in Google's trial in Kansas City."

George Haley, member of the University of New Haven's business faculty, notes that
since 2008, through government subsidies, the manufacturing capacity of China's solar-panel
industry grew tenfold, leading to a vast global oversupply. "Our research showed that
without subsidies, these companies would be bankrupt. If the Chinese government sticks
to its decision to stop funding unprofitable solar-panel manufacturers and support
a revamping of the industry, more bankruptcies and restructurings are sure to follow."
