San Francisco can ill afford any early transfer as is being planned by Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Mayor Gavin Newsom does NOT understand what a Superfund site really means. Only the very worst sites are put on the Superfund list. Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in the South East Sector of San Francisco is one of these. It is wrong to build homes in the middle of Chernobyl and Mayor Gavin Newsom fails, again and again, to understand this fact. He fails to understand this fact because he is a Racist and has no clue about environmental issues....

Asian Week Not Off the Hook for Firing Kenneth Eng
On February 28th, Asian Week apologized for publishing Kenneth Eng’s column “Why I Hate Blacks,” and announced that Eng would no longer write for them. Editor Ted Fang apologized in a March 1st press conference, and on March 2nd held a community forum about race relations. But Fang has yet to explain how the column was ever published, or why they did not take action earlier when Eng wrote similar columns for the newspaper. When first confronted about the column, Editor-in-Chief Samson Wong re...

San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) in the Bayview Hunters Point
San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) keeps messing around in the Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP) using ploys that are detrimental to the constituents of San Francisco in general and BVHP in particular. Over 33,200 signatures were collected to stall SFRA and the matter is before a Judge. SFRA still does not get it - they are using SF Planning through Sophie Maxwell, to rezone areas in the BVHP, are messing with Public Housing and in general adversely impacting thousands....

Sophie Maxwell is clueless - short changing Bayview Hunters Point
Sophie Maxwell loves by passing the constituents and trying to pass stupid Resolution linked to language that makes no sense that she calls policies. These policies then are used as a "hub" to create faulty language and soon you have "ordinances" that are fake laws that adversely impact thousands in the Bayview Hunters Point. Most of her machinations are concretely linked to Bayview Hunters Point - the other moronic SF Board of Supervisors that have been supporting Sophie Maxwell - better thi...

School Beat: NCLB and Civil Rights
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is very clearly another masterful sleight of hand by George Bush and Co. Like his many other tricks (remember the “Clear Skies” program that actually weakened the Clean Air Act), NCLB is full of seemingly lofty goals and requirements ostensibly focused on improving education for all children, while actually attacking the entire project of public education. Most strikingly, its supporters have positioned it as an unshrinking effort to address the racial and class in...
