Arne Duncan and Corruption At the Top A recent New York Times article (March 23, 2010) - discreetly tucked in the back pages of the newspaper − reported that Arne Duncan, Obama’s Secretary of Education, kept a confidential log of names of the rich and powerful who were trying to take advantage of their political connections to get their children admitted into Chicago’s best schools when Duncan was Chief Executive of the school system there....

Bessie Coleman Should Be Celebrated:The first black, female aviator 'flew above' adversity The month in which International Woman’s Day is held draws to a close. I think March should end as it began, by celebrating the achievements of women. Many names, in many cultures and in different times come to mind. However, few names illustrate so graphically and brilliantly the ne plus ultra of womanhood as Bessie Coleman....

Dueling Strategies in the Defense of Public Education, Part 2 In Part I of this essay we looked at strategies in defense of public education that are referred to as “ultra-left,” meaning that they veer so far left that they sever ties with the working class and consequently lose all traction when it comes to influencing the movement. Here we will examine strategies that veer to the right, often ending up in the camp of opportunism, which means sacrificing principles and working class independence for the sake of quick but illusory gains. The interests o...

Why Teachers Unions Matter Nowadays a newspaper cannot be opened — or a TV turned on — without one being subjected to anti-teacher misinformation. The anti-teacher hysteria looks diverse on the surface, but underneath, this public controversy seeks to dislodge teachers unions: the right-wing trashes teachers’ unions outright, while the “liberal” media takes a more subtle, sophisticated approach, blaming the state of public education on “bad teachers” who must be fired and replaced. Both styles are the same in essence...

Dueling Strategies in the Defense of Public Education, Part I The massive turnout across the state of California on March 4 in defense of public education provides indisputable evidence that this movement is just at the beginning stage.

The movement swept through small towns and large cities with demonstrators, including young elementary school students, carrying picket signs while yelling chants expressing their determination to fight back....
