    THE NEWSLETTER of THE TULARE COUNTY OFFICE of EDUCATION newsgallery Lindsay Unified and Special Services create partnership to bolster behavior, academics Green Zone a safe place for learning, support On a pair of couches in a classroom at Lindsay High School, a small group of students discuss the personal effects of bullying and the proper response to it. The students are discussing the subject with their teacher, Matt Griffiths, and their behavioral intervention technicians as part of a new behavioral health program piloted by the Special Services Division. Known as the Green Zone, this classroom is a safe and highly supportive environment where identified students with behavior management issues can go when they feel overwhelmed. The Green Zone is a pilot partnership between Lindsay Unified and Special Service’s growing Behavioral Health Services program. Behavioral Services Administrator Dr. Eileen Whelan explains that many of the students in the Green Zone program have exhibited “escape behavior” – actions such as outbursts, physical altercations, truancy, or refusing to participate. “In the Green (top photo) Behavioral Intervention Zone, we will offer strategies for mitigating the stress they feel in their Technicians (l-r) Jose Iniguez and regular academic classes,” she says.

Arrington] was church historian occurred on June 9, 1978, when the First Presidency announced a divine revelation that all worthy males might be granted the priesthood…. Just before noon my secretary, Nedra Yeates Pace, telephoned with remarkable news: Spencer W. Kimball had just announced a revelation that all worthy males, including those of African descent, might be ordained to the priesthood. Within five minutes, my son Carle Wayne telephoned from New York City to say he had heard the news. I was in the midst of sobbing with gratitude for this answer to our prayers and could hardly speak with him.

  • Stephen Miller Trump's Right-Hand Troll
    Trump’s Right-Hand Troll Stephen Miller once tormented liberals at Duke. Now the president’s speechwriter and immigration enforcer is deploying the art of provocation from the White House. Photo illustration by WG600* MCKAY COPPINS | MAY 28, 2018 | POLITICS T’S LATE ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON in March, and I’m sitting across from Stephen Miller in his spacious, I sunlit West Wing office, trying to figure out whether he’s trolling me. To hear more feature stories, see our full list or get the Audm iPhone app. This is no easy task. A provocateur as skilled as Miller doesn’t just announce when he’s saying something outlandish to get a rise out of you—he tries to make you think he means it. So you have to look for the subtle tells. The fleeting half-smirk when he refers to himself as a “conservative social-justice warrior” early in the conversation. The too-emphatic tone he takes later when he says the best movie he’s seen in the past 15 years is The Dark Knight Rises, and then chides you for not properly appreciating its commentary on the French Revolution. “It takes on the issue of anarchy and social breakdown in a really interesting way,” he says of the Batman movie. “There’s a lot going on in the film that you, of all people, I’d have thought would be all over.” “Me … specifically?,” I ask, taking the bait. “Well,” he replies, letting the mask slip and a sarcastic grin surface, “it’s just your reputation as a very deep thinker.” Perched on a high-backed chair, Miller looks as if he’s posing for a cologne ad in a glossy magazine—his slender frame wrapped in an elegantly tailored suit, his arm draped over the backrest, his legs crossed at the knee just so.

  • Why the King James Version?: from the Common to the Official Bible of Mormonism
    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS Why the King James Version?: From the Common to the Official Bible of Mormonism Philip L. Barlow THE EXCELLENCE OF THE King James Version of the Bible does not need fresh documentation. No competent modern reader would question its literary excel- lence or its historical stature. Yet compared to several newer translations, the KJV suffocates scriptural understanding. This essay offers a historical per- spective on how the LDS Church became so attached to a seventeenth-century translation of the ancient biblical texts. To gain this perspective, we must distinguish between the sincere justifica- tions offered by leaders and teachers in recent decades and the several histori- cal factors that, between 1867 and 1979, transformed the KJV from the common into the official Mormon Bible. In addition to a natural love of the beauty and familiarity of KJV language, these factors include the 1867 pub- lication of Joseph Smith's biblical revision, the nineteenth-century Protestant- Catholic conflict over governmental authorization of a single version for use in American public schools, the menace of higher criticism, the advent of new translations perceived as doctrinally dangerous, a modern popular misunder- standing of the nature of Joseph Smith's recorded revelations, and the 1979 publication of the LDS edition of the Bible. While examining these influences, I give special notice to J. Reuben Clark, who by 1956 had appropriated most previous arguments and in the process made virtually all subsequent Mormon spokespersons dependent on his logic. So influential was his work that it too must be considered a crucial factor in the evolving LDS apologetic for the King James Version.
