How much $$$ does it cost? |
If magazines aren't free, they are oppressive? |
If science and math educational materials are intentionally withheld from lesser-resourced communities (which are not coincidentally majority BIPOC in most cases), because the publishers unfairly demand exorbitant payments,’what do you want to call it? |
I believe the burden is on you to prove that this magazine is overcharging for their product. Regardless, even the socioeconomically challenged should still be able to access these resources. That was the original purpose of public and school libraries. However, those institutions have other priorities these days than STEM education. |
Responding to OP...Let's just say, for arguments sake, it was a Russian publication...Would you want your business to be negatively affected because of your presidents opinions and actions? There are plenty of people in Russia who don't agree with their president but you will write their business off because they are Russian? How do you support this way of thinking? I'm truly asking for an answer to this because I'd like to hear your thoughts as I don't understand why a magazine that you and your child have enjoyed would be possibly written off simply because of the background of the people publishing it and not the content.

I don’t believe she said they were over-charging for the magazine. |
Hi. I also think this is Russian (at least Russia state sponsored) magazine. Same way as Honest History magazine is. Kazakhstan is russian ally and is very much russia controlled. Russia spends big $$$ publishing and distributing content for kids worldwide, and a lot of that content is either russian soft propaganda or intentionally bad (inappropriate, violent, scary, stupid). The goal is to influence young defenseless minds. |
Holy zombie-thread revive! |
FFS lobby your library to carry it. Purchase a subscription to your school. Donate all your issues to your school or to a "poor school" in the area. JFC. Save the world. |
Got it. If everyone can't have a copy of the magazine, no one can have a copy. |
Yes I'm too poor for WSJ. I'm oppressed. |
That right-wing rag? Why would you want to read it? It's full of capitalist dogma. |
Go to bed, Comrade. |
I have been considering whether or not to order this magazine. STEM does not give one iota to anything other than concrete facts. I don’t care who you are politically, religiously, race, age, etc. I would like to know if the magazine is truly solid, evidence based material. Would any of you say yes to that? |
I agree entirely. I too am considering a subscription. I wish to know if the articles are FACT /EVIDENCE based. I believe that libraries, schools, along with funding assistance from private groups and individuals, should have FACT BASED material available for all kids. Facts don’t care about race, religion, gender, etc. Making good, fact based articles available to everyone is all our responsibility. Altering the article to fit criteria, is propaganda. |
