‘Won’t Back Down’ movie exposes problems with public schools
September 29, 2012‘Won’t Back Down’ stars feel wraith of the Unions
September 28, 2012Parents have learned the hard way that speaking out against teachers unions invites serious blowback.
Now, the actors in the new pro-school choice film “Won’t Back Down” are discovering a similar lesson.
“Won’t Back Down” chronicles a frazzled single mom (Maggie Gyllenhaal) trying to secure a solid education for her special needs child. To do so, she fights the educational system along with a dedicated teacher (Viola Davis).
The film’s villain, in essence, is the teachers union behind the crumbling school in question. That makes the film – and its talented stars – a juicy target for unions in general.
‘Female Hysteria’ led to invention of the vibrator
February 9, 2012Most people never thought of when and how an electric vibrator was invented. The common misconception is that this device was created for women. Quite the contrary – according to the creator of the vibrator, it was intended for men who could not relax.
At the end of the 19th century, a British physician patented the first electric vibrator in the world, but the first ones to enjoy the invention were his male colleagues.
The inventor named his creation “Hammer.” The ingenious doctor was weak, and feared the unexpected success of his invention. Joseph Mortimer Granville admitted in his little book on “the vibration of the nerves,” written in 1883, that he would never test this device on women. He said that his invention most likely was meant to relax the clenched muscles in male patients.
