A charity based in Sackville is buying an old-growth forest in Cambridge-Narrows that has been in environmentalist Robena Weatherly's family for generations.

Community Forest International bought the 350-acre property (about 141 hectares) through its carbon offset program.

Weatherly still has the original land grant given to her great-great-great-grandfather, neatly written on yellowed paper. It's dated 1812.

Since her family took ownership, she said, a small section has been cleared for pasture, but otherwise few trees have been cut and harvested over the years.

Over the years, she's been approached many times by people hoping to harvest the forest.

"I have never been tempted," she said.

Megan de Graaf said of carbon offsetting: 'In real world terms, this means that we have to keep trees standing on that property.' (Zach Melanson/Submitted)

But when Community Forest International asked about purchasing the land, she put more thought into the proposal.

"The idea that they were interested in the property for something other than its commercial value to just cut it down, appealed to me, to my ethic."

CFI is a non-profit that works to protect forests. It developed a carbon offsetting program that essentially sees businesses pay the group to preserve old-growth forests.

Carbon offsetting

Mature forests like Weatherby's storing tons of carbon. Many, if not most, of the things humans do release carbon into the atmosphere.

CFI's program calculates how much carbon a business emits through things such as employee driving and air travel and heating buildings. The company can buy that amount of carbon stored in mature trees on CFI's preserved land.

"We are on the hook for maintaining a certain amount of carbon," Megan de Graaf, forest ecologist at CFI, explained. "What that translates into in real world terms, this means that we have to keep trees standing on that property."

'It's the right thing to do'

De Graaf said the group has used the program to preserve more than 1,000 acres (about 405 hectares) in New Brunswick.

Greg Hemmings, CEO at Hemmings House Pictures, along with Dialog, an architecture firm in Toronto and Acre Architects in Saint John, is buying carbon offsets from the Weatherly family's land.

Hemmings said he did it because, "it's the right thing to do."

He said it was about five years ago when he started to look around for ways to reduce the company's carbon footprint.

"We want to make sure that we are enjoying the successes of our business but not at the cost of our environment."

CFI asked detailed questions about the company's operations, and Hemmings said it was established that the business emits 300 tonnes of carbon a year.

"I think it was less than $4,000, so we're talking relatively minor amount of money considering how much we actually have in creating carbon."

"It's not cost-prohibitive."

Margins can be tight for a small business, but it's all about making decisions, he said.

"How much money do I really need to support my family? How much money do I want to pocket, and how much money do I want to reinvest into the world I live in? The community that I live in?"

De Graaf said the province could easily capitalize on a similar model.

"In fact, kind of scale up to more than just New Brunswick and be engaged in even bigger contracts outside of New Brunswick to take on big emissions reductions and offsets using the Acadian forest here at home."

Robinson Conservation Forest

De Graaf said the land, named the Robinson Conservation Forest, is on two parcels, both of which will be owned by CFI by January. She wouldn't reveal how much it was purchased for but said the land was appraised and the group paid fair market value.

Weatherly said she discussed the sale with her family before the deal was signed, and everyone agreed it was the right thing to do. Even if it was a difficult decision.

"Well, maybe my age has something to do with it. It seemed a good idea to have some kind of a plan."

Greg Hemmings, a client of CFI, said he wanted to offset his company's carbon footprint. (Submitted)

Weatherly estimates some of the older trees could be from 250 to 300 years old. She would know. She was one of the country's first female pathologists, contributing to research on the mountain pine beetle in the 1950s, before the pest was considered an epidemic.

Weatherly understands its value to a healthy ecosystem, but she also has close ties to the land. She recognizes many of the older trees from her childhood and remembers the year one particular tree was struck by lightning.

Selling her property is a leap of faith, but she said she trusts the people at CFI.

De Graaf said the group plans to put a "working land conservation easement" on the property.

She said it's a legal tool that dictates what can be done on a property, no matter whose name is on the deed.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why is the 350-acre old-growth being purchased?

answer: The old-growth forest in Cambridge-Narrows is being purchased by Community Forest International through its carbon offset program. The trees are storing tons of carbon and CFI is working to preserve mature forests and help reduce carbon emissions. The company pays CFI in order to preserve mature trees. The working land conservation easement placed on the property helps dictate what can or cannot be done on the land.

text: This doesn't really answer the question because the question asks "why" its being bought, not "how". Include that it's being sold because the owner, Weatherly, refuses to let it be cut

refinement: The old-growth forest in Cambridge-Narrows is being purchased by Community Forest International through its carbon offset program because the owner, Weatherly, refuses to let it be cut down.

answer: The old-growth forest is being purchased by Community Forest International through its carbon offset program in order to preserve the mature trees. The forest provides carbon storage, making it important for the environment. The cost of the purchase would be about $4,000.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Explain carbon offsetting.

answer: A company like CFI calculates how much carbon a business emits and then buys that same amount of carbon stored in mature trees.

text: "CFI's program calculates how much carbon a business emits through things such as employee driving and air travel and heating buildings. The company can buy that amount of carbon stored in mature trees on CFI's preserved land."

answer: In short it means home or business owners (and governments) pay groups to preserve forests which can offset the volume of carbon emission a company released.

text: "CFI's program calculates how much carbon a business emits through things such as employee driving and air travel and heating buildings. The company can buy that amount of carbon stored in mature trees on CFI's preserved land."

answer: Through carbon offsetting, businesses that emit more carbon than average offset their emissions by paying to preserve old-growth forests. They estimate their annual emissions, and CFI calculates how many tons of carbon a preserved forest can soak up. The amount is then divided into a set price, and the business pays CFI to preserve the old-growth forest. The old-growth forest is put under a "working land conservation easement" restricting what can happen on the land.

text: The final sentence isn't really necessary for answering the question.

refinement: Through carbon offsetting, businesses that emit more carbon than average offset their emissions by paying to preserve old-growth forests. They estimate their annual emissions, and CFI calculates how many tons of carbon a preserved forest can soak up. The amount is then divided into a set price, and the business pays CFI to preserve the old-growth forest.

answer: Carbon offsetting is about giving businesses a way to manage their carbon footprint. For $4,000, the business calculates how much it is emitting into the atmosphere, and Community Forest International buys that amount of carbon that is stored by mature trees on CFI's preserved lands. This way, CFI offsets the company's carbon emissions.

answer: When businesses buy carbon offsets, they are purchasing reductions in their carbon emissions. This is done so the businesses can uphold environmentally responsible practices and keep their carbon footprint low. Carbon offsets come from investing in projects, like preserving old growth forests. The funds generated from selling the forest offsets the carbon emissions of the businesses who bought the offset. Carbon offsetting helps to protect and preserve natural landscapes.

-   FACEBOOK HAS DENIED THAT IT THREATENED TO WITHDRAW AN INVESTMENT IN A DATA CENTRE IN CANADA IF IT DID NOT RECEIVE THE LEGAL REASSURANCES IT WANTED. "THIS IS NOT A THREAT," THE COMPANY TOLD BUSINESS INSIDER.
-   COO SHERYL SANDBERG TOLD THE EUROPEAN UNION AND CANADA THAT IF THEY PURSUED LEGAL MEASURES THE COMPANY DISAGREED WITH THEN FACEBOOK WOULD CONSIDER OTHER "OPTIONS" FOR INVESTMENT AND GROWTH, ACCORDING TO SEALED DOCUMENTS LEAKED FROM A LAWSUIT.
-   CANADA RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY TO HER REQUEST.
-   IT'S NOT CLEAR WHAT INFLUENCE FACEBOOK GAINED WITH THE EU BUT THE COMPANY WAS PLEASED WITH ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH FORMER IRELAND PRIME MINISTER ENDA KENNY DURING THE PERIOD WHEN IRELAND HELD THE PRESIDENCY OF THE EU, THE DOCUMENTS SAY.

Facebook has denied it threatened to pull investment projects from Europe and Canada if lobbying demands from COO Sheryl Sandberg were not met, the company told Business Insider.

According to court documents seen by Computer Weekly and The Guardian, Sandberg told government officials from the European Union and Canada that if she did not receive certain reassurances then Facebook would consider other "options" for investment and growth.

Canada gave her the written reassurance she sought the same day.

A spokesperson for Facebook, however, told Business Insider "this is not a threat." The company was simply doing the necessary due diligence needed to protect its users' data.

"Before we commit to opening a data centre anywhere in the world, we want to make sure we fully understand the country’s laws and privacy protections. This is not a threat to withhold investment, but part of our duty to protect people's data," an official said.

The documents were apparently filed under seal as part of a lawsuit in California between Facebook and an app developer, Six4Three. Confidential documents from the case have leaked online before, in an apparent attempt to embarrass Facebook.

Facebook told Business Insider it would not comment further. "Like the other documents that were cherry-picked and released in violation of a court order last year, these by design tell one side of a story and omit important context. As we’ve said, these selective leaks came from a lawsuit where Six4Three, the creators of an app known as Pikinis, hoped to force Facebook to share information on friends of the app’s users. These documents have been sealed by a Californian court so we’re not able to discuss them in detail," the company said.

"If we could not get comfort from the Canadian government on the jurisdiction issue we had other options"

In Canada, Facebook was planning to build a datacentre. But before completing it, Sandberg wanted Canada's then minister of industry, Christian Paradis, to send a letter reassuring the company that the existence of the datacentre on Canadian soil would not be used by the country to extend its legal jurisdiction over non-Canadian data held by Facebook. (Paradis was a minister from 2011 to 2013.)

“Sheryl took a firm approach and outlined that a decision on the datacentre was imminent. She emphasised that if we could not get comfort from the Canadian government on the jurisdiction issue we had other options,” Marne Levine, then Facebook’s vice-president of global public policy, wrote, according to CW.

Paradis agreed to send the letter the same day, CW reported.

An ambush at a party

In the leaked messages, Levine also described how Facebook staff distracted aides to Paradis at a party so that other lobbyists could buttonhole ministers directly. One aide in particular “made us look like real jerks” to the Canadian government, Levine told colleagues, and she was determined to put that right. CW described the stunt like this:

Together with her entourage, Levine was dispatched by car to a Canadian reception for finance trade and foreign affairs ministers “so that we could cut the awful staff person out of the way”.

Facebook’s team distracted the minister’s aide and other officials, allowing Levine to “touch base” with three government ministers and get their mobile phone numbers. “We were out of there in 20 minutes,” said Levine.

Facebook believed it had a "great relationship" with Irish PM Enda Kenny

In Europe, Sandberg tried to influence privacy policy via the Irish government. The company gushed over its relationship with Irish prime minister Enda Kenny, according to Computer Weekly. The Irish government has historically been very friendly to tech companies, and many — including Apple and Google — have opened operations there as a result. Facebook was happy that Ireland would take on the presidency of the EU in 2013 and could thus influence revisions to the European Data Directive, which preceded GDPR. Facebook believed it had a "great relationship" with Kenny, the documents say.

The next year, according to a separate Freedom of Information request described by CW, Sandberg wrote to Kenny after meeting him in Davos to suggest that changes in data protection or tax rules would prompt Facebook to look at "different options for future investment and growth in Europe." The company believed the directive was "a threat to jobs, innovation and economic growth in Europe," CW reported.

Although the EU did later pass GDPR laws tightening consumer privacy, the documents suggest that prior to that Facebook got its message through to Kenny: “We used the meeting to press them to make the EU Data Protection Directive a priority for their presidency. The prime minister said they could exercise significant influence as president of the EU, even though technically Ireland is supposed to remain neutral in this role,” the memo states.

question: Write a ~1 sentence summary.

answer: Facebook has denied threatening to withdraw investments from Europe and Canada if lobbying demands from COO Sheryl Sandberg are not met.

..\
	For the third time that week, Will woke up to screaming kids. Swearing, he looked over for his wife of fifteen years but noticed she was missing, in fact he had not seen her since last night. He put the thought behind him as he swung his legs over the bed and scratched his morning stubble. He got up after a few minutes and half stumbled half walked over to the bathroom. As he grabbed for his razor, he heard a sharp snapping sound and swore once more, then lumbered down stairs.

.
         He hit the bottom step just as the door opened and his wife, who he was not entirely pleased to see entered, "Look who decided to show up." He mumbled, and staring at his feet he shuffled towards the broken lamp and his two youngest children. She retorted back but he pretended not to hear it, he started back up the stairs with his kids.

..
         "YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL YOU HEARD ME AND YO---", she stopped as a chair broke against the wall, sending splinters in every direction. Will just glared at her and thought about what a wreck she had become, in her hayday she was quite the looker but fifteen years of marriage had taken its toll. Will was always mild tempered, he cursed but ofcourse everyone around here did, and he was never violent, but the last year of her walking in at daybreak and dealing with a four and six year old had changed him, he was still level headed though, so he walked up the stairs, grabbed some clothes, his wallet, his phone, and his keys, then left to a dumbstruck wife, and two crying children.

.
.
          Will reached for his phone to dail up his old friend Terrance, he was a charter captian and Will could think of no better escape then some open sea. He decided to call in sick to work first, to groans from his boss. After 3 rings Terrance picked up and agreed to take him out, he drove out the five miles it took to get to the old wooden dock. He walked along the side, avoiding the numerous cracks, and got to Terrance's boat. They silently greeted and started prepping, and soon enough they were off.

.
         After an hour of relaxing silence Will heard a shout that made him go from sleeping to wide awake in no time, he ran to the captains quaters and saw Terrance slumped over in his seat, he checked his pulse and felt nothing. Will killed the engine and just sat there, staring as the sun lightened the sea, while his friend was slumped confortably in death beside him. Eventually Will slumped against the wall, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and fell asleep.

.
         Will jolted awake, feeling he just awoke from the worst nightmare ever, he reached over and put his hand on his wife, except she was cold, so cold. Will jumped up and stared at Terrance with horrorfying realization. He walked back up to the deck and looked at the night sky, it hit him that his kids and wife would be worrying about him. He snorted. Might be worrying about him was more like it. Still, he did miss them, which was surprising. He sat on the side of the boat and started dozing off.

.
         He was sitting on a chair in his living room with his family, but his wife was younger, he looked around doubtfully for his two kids, and only found them when he looked under the table. They were joyfully pushing his chair back, laughing and smiling. Will started laughing too, it was contagious and soon his wife joined it. "I love you guys." As his chair tipped too far and he fell backwards through his floor and into the dark.

text:
“Dear friends and colleagues, I know, that you know, that we all know, that the main attraction of this symposium is to brag about our greatest and weirdest nutjobs. We’ve all heard Dr. Johnson talk about this woman, who believed she was a glass of jam, over a coffee, or Prof. Miller explain how a suicidal man couldn’t hang himself because his extreme fear of height.”

Some people in the room started laughing, while most just nodded in agreement. Some murmuring came up around Johnson and Miller, and as soon as everything went silent again, the man at the stand continued.

“This place here in front of all of you is usually reserved for someone talking about new developments in diagnostics and therapies. But in my case, the patient himself was so intertwined with the disease, that I can’t get around him.”
Dramatic pause
“Please meet mister Theo Bog!”

As soon as these words were said, a picture was projected on the giant screen behind the presenter. it was a portrait shot of a man in his mid-forties. A long beard, fuzzy hair, thick eyebrows and an awkward smile looked aimlessly into the audience. Even though his eyes were dampened, maybe because of a cataract, it felt as if they had seen a lot and had a shine of knowledge.

“This man came to me by himself. He didn’t have any money, nor an insurance. He claimed, that he needed help, because he would soon fall back into his old god complex. When I asked him, why he couldn’t go back to his old therapist, he told me that it was because Ernest Jones was dead.”

Unruly whispers arose among the doctors and professors.

“As most of you certainly know, Mr. Jones was a good friend of Sigmund Freud and one of the first practitioners of psychoanalysis. As such he was active until a few months before his death in 1958.
Theo Bog, a man who is 35 years old in the year 2017, claims to have been cured of a god complex by it’s inventor, who has long since been dead.

Of course it isn’t that unusual for somebody to believe to be a historically important figure or to just believe to have met with someone who has been dead for a long time. And during our sessions he told me about his therapy.
He explained me, how he had thought to have been god, and how mister Jones helped him by argumentatively disproving such a higher, all-knowing being. The problem was, that he started to forget these arguments and as such started to fall back into believing to be god.

The first thing I tried, was to make clear that he couldn’t have met with Mr. Jones. But this turned out to be impossible, as Bog obviously had done thorough research. He knew a lot of odds and quirks about his first therapist. I even let him meet with an old Student of Jones, but this was only counterproductive, as they ended up agreeing that they both had known the same man.”

What followed could best be described as a giant collective facepalm. The reasons behind it were different though. Some thought, that this unexpected outcome was a worst case, rendering poor Theo unstoppable in his belief, while others were shocked that somebody would let a psychologically critical case meet up with a former student who must be in his 90ies by now.

One man in the audience stood up. It was Dr. Johnson. He made eye contact with the man at the microphone and, as soon as the room was calm enough for him to speak, he asked a question: “Dr. Parthrow, you yourself implied before, that you’re here to tell us about a new development. Would you please come to the point?”

A aly grin hushed over the presenters face, then he continued: “Of course, of course. Now that I’ve presented you with my case, I’ll show you the solution I’ve found. I’m particularly proud of it because of its simplicity.
I went online. I searched for a polite, atheistic community, and signed him up there. It’s absolutely amazing, how easily people can be swayed. It took Theo two days to go back to a normal life, and one month later he already had a job.

What do we learn from this? Sometimes absurd and weird ways solutions are really easy. While I don’t know if the same therapy would have worked with any other patient, I’m confident, that this story will help you find new ways to cure illnesses. With this I’m finished. Are there any questions?”

-

Several years later a young and dynamic Theo left the office building. He looked like thirty now, though he knew that he was about ten years older. Thanks to the internet actually, he knew everything.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize the various forms of treatment attmempted for Theo Bog.

answer: Theo Bog is a man with a god complex. He claims to have met with Ernest Jones, a friend of Sigmund Freud and the first practitioner of psychoanalysis, who is now dead. He claims to have been cured of his god complex by Jones, but he has since fallen back into his old ways. The doctor in charge of Theo's case, Dr. Parthrow, tries to make Theo forget his delusions by making it clear that he couldn't have met with Jones, but this doesn't work. The doctor then tries to sign Theo up with an atheistic community online, which works.

answer: Dr. Parthrow tries to make it clear to Theo that he couldn't have met with Mr. Jones. He tries to make Theo forget his previous thoughts about being a god. He also tries to make Theo meet with a former student of Mr. Jones, but this backfires. Finally, he signs Theo up to an online atheist community, which helps him to recover.

                                           The King

	Our King has always been a little different. He’s very quiet I haven’t really seen him give anyone orders at all either. Whenever something needs to be done I see him doing it. He doesn’t just sit around; I’ve actually seen him go into the mines. I don’t know if it’s just because I’m a child but not even the adults in the village are as active as him.

       He’s always leaving the kingdom and coming back with tons of different things. I can’t always see what he’s coming back with, but I’ve seen bones, some kind of meat that just looks bad, and even strange looking pearls. And the dogs! He has so many dogs that there’s not a single wild dog here. He must be traveling great distances to find all these dogs, because I know they’re not from here.

	When I see him doing all these strange things I start asking my parents what it is he’s doing, and they tell me: “don’t question the king,” but they never tell me why. He doesn’t look old, so he can’t be all that wise. All that work he does and all the times he leaves - it’s not normal.  I was  sick of wondering.

	I finally got into his castle and he was at his workbench. When I got closer he looked back at me, seemingly confused, but he turned back around and kept tinkering with some weird red dust. I got closer and mustered up the courage to ask him as politely as I could, “How come you’re so different than everyone else?” The king stopped, stood up and looked at me. He asked, “Excuse me?” and I said it again. He chuckled briefly under his breath and said “it seems like you’re different too.”

       He started to tell me a story. “When I was your age, I lived in a different kingdom and I felt the same way about my king. I would go to school and all the kids and the teachers would seem to just drift through their lives, but not the king; he was always spontaneous. I was finally sick of that curious feeling, so I went and talked to my king and he told me his story. Sometime afterwards the kingdom was destroyed and all the people inside were attacked by monsters. It was terrible. There were explosions, arrows, and the groans of the undead.

	I was able to escape, but barely. I fought my way out with nothing but my hands. finally I found a break in the chaos and I found a cave and covered the entrance with dirt. I was devastated, but I wanted to live so I built a shelter.  I enjoyed building. Then since I had built my shelter I began mining - I enjoyed that as well. I had so many supplies I decided to build more and I ended up building a village. Strangely enough people appeared. That village moved on to become this kingdom. That’s my story.”

	I asked him why he told me all that. and he told me simply because I was a player. A player? I was so confused. He then told me that only players are kings. I didn’t understand. He went on by asking me what my earliest memory is and I told him standing outside. “Exactly,” He said. “That was the first time you entered this world.” He started talking about how this life isn’t real and that once he’s gone he’ll be able to enter the real world again.

	He began taking me adventuring with him, that’s when he would explain things and share his knowledge with me. “When a king dies, everything he ever did goes with him. That’s how my king’s old kingdom was destroyed. I left my Kingdom and made a village. I have people of my own now. My king was killed by a mob of three suicide creatures right outside his gate. I saw everything he had made disappear along with him.” That’s when I believed everything he told me - while he took me adventuring with him. Now I know that there is a better life to be had out of this one. A less edged and more rounded one. Thank you king Steve. Minecraft Steve.

While American Enterprise Institute philosopher Christina Hoff Sommers was gamely endeavoring to finish her remarks over the din of protests at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore., Janet Steverson — law professor and diversity and inclusion dean — intervened to bring Hoff Sommers' speech to a premature close.

The diversity and inclusion dean had noticed that the mob (I mean students) were growing restless at the diversity of including a speaker such as Sommers, a guest of the Federalist Society, on the roster. Steverson told the Inside Higher Ed that the poor dears were becoming "antsy."

Well, that's one way of putting it when college students hurl vicious insults — including the ever-popular "fascist" epithet — at a renowned scholar in an attempt to intimidate. Let's face it: What these students did at Lewis & Clark was a macro-aggression. And the diversity dean catered to them.

Sommers, as we all know, is just one of a growing list of prominent intellectuals who have been shouted down on American college campuses.  At least in this instance there were no reported physical injuries, as was the case when a faculty member at posh Middlebury College in Vermont was injured escorting Charles Murray, another American Enterprise Institute scholar and author, through a howling mob of students.

It has become customary, when these all too common eruptions occur, to opine that the guarantee of the right of free speech, enshrined in the Bill of Rights, is in jeopardy. We also observe that these students don't want to hear ideas different from their own. I think this is far too kind.

The concentration on the threat to free speech, valid though it is, actually obscures the nature of the greater peril we are facing: We're starting way too far up the food chain with a sophisticated concept such as the right of freedom of speech. What we are really seeing is that the most lavishly financed university system in the history of mankind — or should I say peoplekind? — isn't educating people. In my day, nobody cared if we got "antsy" during a lecture: We were there to learn.

These kids are not refusing to grapple merely with ideas that are different from theirs but, I submit, are ill-prepared to engage with ideas. Period. And how could it be otherwise? These opinionated kids don't even know the definition of the all-purpose label fascist. Look it up, class, fascists engaged in street brawls and disruption to forestall debate.

A look at the US News & World Report description of the Lewis & Clark Law School offerings sheds some light on why students didn't show up intrigued to listen to an iconoclastic thinker. For tuition and fees of $43,290 a year, the Lewis & Clark future lawyer...

  “...can focus in legal areas including global law, Indian law, and more. Among specialty programs, the institution has a high law school ranking in environmental law."

Hands-on training can occur in "the Animal Law Clinic and the International Environmental Law Project. ... Northwestern Law school operates several centers that also offer research and training opportunities for law students, including the Center for Animal Law Studies, the National Crime Victim Law Institute, and the Natural Resources Law Institute.

Additionally:

  “Students may also seek out involvement opportunities in the school’s clubs and organizations, from the Latino Law Society to the softball league. Law reviews at the Lewis & Clark College Northwestern School of Law include Animal Law, Environmental Law, and the Lewis & Clark Law Review."

Sadly, this may not be the most solid preparation for understanding the ins and outs of the legal theory or writing briefs for clients. While there is nothing wrong with studying animal or environmental law — and these fields are prominently represented at top law schools — U.S. News choice to highlight them is an indication that such trendy offerings may be more attractive prospective students that duller studies in, say, constitutional, corporate law, or criminal (for humans) law.

Rightly concerned about the atmosphere on campus, Erwin Chemerinsky and Howard Gillman (respectively dean of the law school at Berkeley, and chancellor of the University of California, Irvine), wrote a book entitled “Free Speech on Campus.” In it, the authors seek to find a way to balance "unfettered" speech and at the same time promote "inclusive environments" on campus.

I'm glad the professors believe in free speech, but they couldn't be more wrong about "inclusive environments." First, inclusive environments aren't inclusive. Witness the inclusiveness dean shushing Sommers. Second, colleges were not, according to the idea of the university as it developed in western civilization, supposed to be "inclusive"; they were supposed to educate, which often meant exposing scholars to new ideas (and facts — remember those?).

Colleges have abandoned the project of exposing students to the poet Matthew Arnold's ideal of "the best which has been thought and said." The result is that too many graduates are ignorant of the basics. You can't understand why free speech is important if your mind is unfurnished — or furnished with fact-free indoctrination picked up in a women's studies class or other class that concentrates mostly on grievances, real or imagined.

If, as Thomas Jefferson believed, education is the cornerstone of our democracy, we're in deep trouble.

Of course, Mr. Jefferson would never be allowed on most American college campuses today.

"SQUIRE! Fetch me my horse! I’m going out hunting!"

"Yes sire!"

Lousy, ungrateful, stupid bastard. Squire? Fucking squire? Jesus man you know my name, I’m Perry, like I tell you every fucking day. And don’t even get me started on the hunting. Hunting? Why don’t you just describe it accurately and call it seating your fat ass on the back of that poor sop of a horse and forcing it to canter round your shitty little forest, while you giggle with glee at the delightful experience of bouncing up and down. And all the while you’re accompanied by a large band of trumpeters, making absolutely sure every single animal with a brain has enough time to hear this ludicrous ensemble of idiocy, pack up its family, maybe have a small bite to eat and move the fuck away. Quite frankly, anything stupid enough to be caught by this moronic party had it coming. If the hunting party didn’t get them, an angry 6 year old with a small stick would’ve done the next morning.

But I’ve side-tracked. The more important debate here is how the fuck this man managed to become a knight. I’d call him stupid but that would be an insult to uneducated peons everywhere. He is his own class of stupid, so far down the IQ scale he may have broken into previously unexplored realms of negative IQ. Oh, you think I’m being mean? Maybe a bit overdramatic? Oh no no no. Let me explain. This is the man who, when getting out of a double bed, rolled over the wrong way to the other side of the bed and, rather than realise his mistake and either rolling the other way to escape the bed, or continuing his roll to reach the other side, shouted desperately for help, for he had lost the floor and was surely doomed. This is the man who picked up a sword from the wrong end and failed to understand his mistake. This is the man who put a helmet on his foot and complained when he couldn’t walk properly. Please understand, my master is genuinely something else. I’ve yet to theorise how he became a knight. Oh yes, his father was a knight and that grants him an easy ride to the role, but I am amazed that, after discovering that his son had the intelligence of a melon, his dear father hadn’t pushed him to follow an alternative career path, something more appropriate to his level like, ooh I don’t know, an early grave.

Too far? Perhaps. But you don’t have to serve under this infantile baboon. Every waking moment of my day is spent entertaining his every want and need, and oh boy does he have a lot of needs. Sometimes – and I wish I was joking – he struggles with wiping his own ass. Guess who gets that fantastic job? That’s right, Squire Perry, his faithful fucking assistant. Other highlights include: serving him his food; helping him eat his food; cleaning his food when he spills it on the floor, like the clumsy halfwit he is; cleaning his bed; cleaning his clothes; organising his equipment. Oh, and how could I forget, fetching his fucking horse when he wants to go on a fucking hunting expedition.

I should go, he might cry if he doesn’t get his bloody horse soon. Ooh, that is a tempting prospect... but no. It wouldn’t be obeying my fucking duty. I swear to fucking god. Pray for me, would you?

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the excerpt say about the stupidity of squire Perry's knight?

answer: The knight is so stupid, he is his own class of stupid. He can't tell left from right, he can't tell the end of a sword from the middle, he puts his helmet on his foot, and he can't wipe his own ass.

answer: In the excerpt, the narrator, Squire Perry, explains that he is the this knight's assistant, doing tasks that the knight is unable to do. The knight is so stupid, he once got in a freak accident because he was unable to figure out how to exit a bed. He once thought that something as simple as putting on a helmet foot went without saying, and he once mixed up a sword with a fork.
