And of course, there’s links

It’s standard to discuss how kids are totally at home with computers. One school Internet professional says no, they’re not.
•Another non-Muslim terrorist. This time the aspiring killer, Floyd Lee Corkins, wanted to shoot up Family Research Council because of its anti-gay marriage stance.
•And here’s a pro-life terrorist from down where I used to live.
•Bank of America is going to trial for allegedly selling bad mortgages as good securities.
•Privacy news: Under Facebook’s proposed new rules, it can sell anything you post, including pictures, to businesses for use in ads (“Fraser Sherman really loves X!” for my friends, for instance). And without even identifying it as an ad. Google insists that nobody should object to having their gmail scanned. And there’s a new plan for using Internet-connected TV to scan what we’re watching and then use that to target ads.
•Tax issues with automatic service charges on checks.
•As Digby says, there’s no trouble finding money for war, even when stuff that actually helps Americans is getting cut.
•A charter school sends a girl home and tells her to get rid of her dreads.
•The FBI says its rescued hundreds of sex-trafficked girls from their pimps. In practice many of them weren’t rescued, just arrested. Meanwhile, in Norfolk Va., police only just changed their official policy to treat all rape reports as unfounded until proven otherwise.
•E.W. Jackson, the Virginia Repub candidate for lt. governor says you can’t be a Christian and a Democrat. No surprise he thinks it (Rick Santorum says you can’t be a liberal and a Christian) but surprising he says it. Maybe like white supremacists, he figures this kind of view is mainstream now.
•A good linkpost from Slacktivist. Among the links within we have Baptists claiming that banning prayers at government meetings imposes state religion; a blogger pointing out that since we stopped reading the Bible in schools, violence has declined; the different kinds of privilege; and a look at white America 50 years after the march on Washington.
