Ivins got the idea for Bill of Wrongs while touring America to
honor her promise to speak out, gratis, at least once a month in
defense of free speech. In her travels Ivins met ordinary people going
to extraordinary measures to safeguard our most precious liberties, and
when she first started writing this book, she intended it to be a
joyous celebration of those heroes. But during the Bush years, the
project’s focus changed. Ivins became concerned about threats to our
cherished freedoms–among them the Patriot Act and the weakening of
habeas corpus–and she observed with anger how dissent in the defense of
liberties was being characterized as treason by the Bush administration
and its enablers.

The Hacker Highschool project is the development of license-free, security and privacy awareness teaching materials and back-end support for teachers of elementary, junior high, and high school students.
Today’s kids and teens are in a world with major communication and productivity channels open to them and they don’t have the knowledge to defend themselves against the fraud, identity theft, privacy leaks and other attacks made against them just for using the Internet. This is the reason for Hacker Highschool.
