Bio: I am currently a Professor of Security Studies, hold a BS in Management and an MA in National Security Studies, and am pursuing an MA in Systematic and Philosophical Theology. I've written for Navy Times, Proceedings, Armed Forces Journal and a number of blogs. As a 24-year veteran of the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserve, I attained the rank of Commander, deployed five times for four different conflicts and served as a Foreign Area Officer and a Surface Warfare Officer. During my 7 years in the private sector, I worked in the fields of information technology and publishing, and even ran for public office once.

US Schools Ban Looking at Anyone
I fear that we are turning our students into unfeeling zombies. They can’t hold hands, they can’t flirt, they can’t kiss, they can’t hug. Then they eventually finish school and go into the workplace where they can’t meet anyone of the opposite s…
