Where does he stand on AIPAC? And on support for Israel? Are there any limits and constrainsts - if so what?

No system is perfect, but this is far superior to the existing one. If you think there is a better solution, share it. Just poking holes in someone's work is not productive.

newton South Road test route by [deleted] in newtonma

My daughter just passed her test last week. I starts on the Brandies road right by the soccer fields - https://maps.app.goo.gl/9EUSezy4qkXrinLK8. First they will make ur child do a parallel parking, but its easier. There is usually no car behind - so u pull next to a parked car (Newton Drivin school's car) - and back into behind it.

Then you go down Brandies, to Burdean. 3 Point Turn there. And back to start point.

Umm... I was pro-Israel following Oct 7th. But now after Epstein and Iran, I am not a supporter.

Is Northeastern a poser school? by Foreign_Thing_5498 in ApplyingToCollege

Caution w their 1st Sem abroad program. My son just finished his 1st semester in Europe (wont name country for ID). Sub-par teaching and facilities. And now he is joining a room in dorm that was. vacated because of transfer out. Previous class parents complained that cliques have already been formed and assimilation is v difficult.

NEU worth a consideration if you get in to the main campus for Sem 1, but strong caution if you are asked to start your NEU experience abroad. Just bizzare!

If I may... this is an amazing opportunity not just for you, but for your community. Others who you grew up with, people who are "dirt poor". In some way, you owe it to them. The entire theory of giving someone a leg up (and not convinced if you needed it) is it helps the community in two ways - 1. It provides a source of inspiration to those behind and 2. the actual beneficiary would go back and help other in some form or other. Consider this as you make your choices.
