Vaccine Differentiation

When developed countries discreetly or discriminately inoculate their citizens and permanent residents with dear vaccines produced in the West, while reserving the cheaper half-trialed doses made in the East for their foreign workers or migrants—a “proof” that not all vaccines are treated equal.
Foreign-born doctors and nurses working in Asia and the Middle East blame the governments for practicing vaccine differentiation vis-à-vis their blue-collar or migrant compatriots.

January 6 Pardon

The right-wing fringe theory that the sooner the Insurrectionist-in-Chief is reinstated as president, who lost a “stolen” 2020 election, the better it will be for the hundreds of presently imprisoned or GPS-tracked-and-monitored “American Patriots,” who have faith that a presidential pardon would exonerate them from their violent attack on the Capitol.
Which is more likely: a January 6 pardon, or the names of the 45th US President and his morally bankrupt GOP lawmakers-supporters in the Book of Life?

Trumpolatry

Also known as “Trump idolatry.” The worship or idolization of Donald J. Trump by millions of blue-collar workers and white evangelicals, not to say, white supremacists and terrorists, who see him as their “political savior”; and the fake respect for him by morally corrupt lawmakers, who daren’t oppose him lest their reelection prospects are dashed.
Trumpolatry may be likened to the American equivalent of the deification of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, when oft-radicalized followers or diehard supporters would faithfully carry the orders of their “anointed” leader.

Singapore Math®

A trademarked term that may be likened to the mathematical equivalent of illegally parking in a disabled parking space.
Math educators remarked that trademarking "Singapore Math" is a form of "mathematical hijacking"—what else can we expect after Singapore Math®? Singapore Math 2.0™?

Vaccine Persecution

When authoritarian regimes force millions of anti-vaxxers to get a shot even if their jobs don’t require them to do so, or if they are no longer working or have retired—they have a choice: jab or jail.
Guesstimate how many folks worldwide would rather face vaccine persecution by going to jail than compromising on their religious conviction.

Covid Power

When your fiends or foes realize that you have the power to harm or decimate them if they come close to you despite your small size.
Who can make light of the covid power of the dengue mosquito, which kills hundreds of people every year in some parts of Asia?

Why Can’t Math Be Like Sex?

If teachers and textbook authors would creatively present the oft-sterile math curriculum in a form that would get students excited about the beauty of the subject, by not adulterating but contextualizing the content—by letting learners see both the mathematical forest and the trees.
Mathematics is too important to be left in the hands of mostly uncreative authors or publishers; as a result, teachers and parents would need to sexify the most boring subject in school—they need to ask, “why can’t math be like sex?” to lure unmotivated or mathophobic students.
