Adult Education in Oakland Under Attack: Protest Wednesday at School Board Meeting
Attention: Adult Education in Oakland Under Attack! Protest Wednesday, 4PM at the Oakland School Board Meeting; Town Hall Meeting to Defend Public Education in Oakland, Tuesday, March 8th
Attention: Adult Education in Oakland Under Attack! Protest Wednesday, 4PM at the Oakland School Board Meeting; Town Hall Meeting to Defend Public Education in Oakland, Tuesday, March 8th
The entire adult education program in Oakland may be closed down by Dr. Randolph Ward, State Administrator, as of June 30 of this year. Many Adult Education Teachers in Oakland received a notice on Friday stating that if class attendance falls below 14 students, that class will be considered for immediate closure. This is their first step.
Our teachers and our 25,000 students deserve better. Adult Education in Oakland serves a population that is not served by anyone else. This population includes immigrants, high school diploma classes, classes at senior centers, community center classes for people with disability, and many others. These are the only free English as a Second Language Classes offered in Oakland.
This is part of Randy Ward's plan to dismantle public education in Oakland. It is connected to the converting of public elementary schools to charter schools. In both cases his actions are affecting the most underserved communities. These are racist acts and part of a plan to destroy public education in Oakland.
We need everyone in Oakland to come to the Board of Education meeting, Wed. evening, 4:00PM, at the Oakland Administration Building, 1025 Second Avenue.
Also, please attend the Town Hall Meeting to Defend Public Education in Oakland, Tuesday, March 8th from 6-8PM at the First Congregational Church (2501 Harrison Street)
We need your presence. Please come.
In Solidarity,
Gina Rossi, Oakland AFT, Local 771

Why can't video recorded classes with computerized testing and a student lab be used in place of the more expensive traditional methods?
It appears that some want the American populace dumbed down and ignorant. It is hard to argue for your rights when you do not know of the history of the rights or their details.
We are treated like low life scum in Alabama by the government, as a video indicates at the Mobile Audit Club website. Now it appears some of California is the same.
What is the solution to remove those with talons and teeth of murderers and swindlers from our lives without having to destroy all and return to the dark ages?
I am not sure, but it is obvious that the USA is on a brink of a collapse, if not already collapsed. WE have war criminals in control of the USA government in many sectors.
Let us not shed a tear when suicide bombers and kidnappers replace the displaced college students. Without hope in a civil fashion, leads to hope in a more rudementary war like fashion.
Re-form the La Costa Nostras and use the detached arms to sever the head of our mutual enemies, the billionaires international who piss down our throats and minds.
VA FAN CULO, Never again serve the USA government which allows abuses of the American people against the constitution the Geneva Convention and their own laws.
Support world wide freedom fighters. The time is now.

The biggest mistake I ever made was trusting the USA government. View them just as you would a Mexican Border Patrol if you were a Mexican. Because in reality, they are much worse.
Fighting in WWII was a mistake. The same behaviors the Nazis displayed are being re-lived right here in the dieing USA
