As you may know the members of the Watcher’s Council each nominate one of his or her own posts and one non-Council post for consideration by the whole Council. The complete list of this week’s Council nominations is here.

The Education Wonks, “U.S. Students Not Comparing Well With Others”

EdWonk is not at all happy with the response of the Secretary of the Department of Education to the news that American middle school students haven’t fared well by OECD standards on math and science tests.

Bookworm comments on a California history teacher’s using his class as a platform to lecture against religion.

Soccer Dad, “Fish Tales at the PA Aid Conference”

Soccer Dad critiques the goings-on at the recent conference on aid for the Palestinian Authority.

Cheat Seeking Missiles, “Separation of Church and State, Secularist Style”

Laer reports on the story that Bookworm ran with (he seems to have been the one to bring it to Bookworm’s attention).

Big Lizards, “”The Courage to Do Nothing””

Dafydd ab Hugh takes note of the follies of the IPCC.

Joshuapundit, “The Saudis Host Hamas’ Top Brass — And Reveal the Middle East’s New Order”

Freedom Fighter speculates on the nature of the deal-cutting going on the Middle East.

Right Wing Nut House, “The Very Deep Thoughts of Mike Huckabee”

Rick Moran isn’t impressed with Mike Huckabee’s ideas on U. S. foreign policy.
