Saudi missile in Sana'a

vendredi 19 juin 2015 à 14:00

A Saudi missile knocked down three buildings in the UNESCO-designated old city of Sana'a, without exploding. Saudi Arabia claims its allies were not the ones who did it.

Schools monitoring students' internet use

vendredi 19 juin 2015 à 14:00

Some UK schools are already monitoring students' internet use looking for signs of "radicalization".

Will this stop anyone from becoming a supporter of PISSI? That depends on whether they find an effective way to convince students PISSI is wrong.

In the absence of an effective response, the monitoring will only arouse resentment, and that could backfire entirely.

If they find an effective response, they could present it to everyone and do without the monitoring.
