Summary | National councillor Jean-Luc Addor (Schweizerische Volkspartei) was sentenced in court under the anti-racism law. After a fatal shooting in a Swiss mosque, he posted the following on Twitter and Facebook: "We want more of it!" The court decided that this post stripped Muslim residents and citizens of Switzerland of the right to live without any detectable sarcasm which is why he was found guilty of breaking the anti-racism law and will have to pay a hefty fine.

Technology could also help in this endeavor: students in Nigeria study in with their smartphones and only spend a few hours a day in a classroom. Digitized education could cut down the need for teaching staff by half.

This is all peanuts compared to Harvard University with 4.8 mio likes and Cambridge University with 1.8 mio likes.
