Welcome to With Malice Toward None, my blog about government, politics and current events. As the blog’s title suggests, I hope that this will be a space for spirited, but respectful dialogue and learning.  As you might be able to tell, this blog is the home of my U.S. Government and Politics class. I hope to keep comments open to all, but because this will be used by students, they will be closely monitored. If your comment doesn’t get published, please don’t take it personally.

A word about the site’s name. It comes from Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address. Most of the sources I have found use “toward” rather than “towards” and I have chosen to do the same.
