I don’t know how much longer I can continue to write this blog of mine. To read more and more of the direction we are headed is despairing. Ryan would return this country to the 1700s. By removing women’s health, by eliminating $$$ for education, eliminating the teaching of history, indeed anything. We are doomed. […]
With the fight to keep public schools public, Detroit Federation of Teachers along with By Any Means Necessary (BAMN) have engaged in direct action. The little coverage in the corporate press has been limited to Michigan but with the controversy over the Cahterine Ferguson Academy fight and occupations and arrests the controversy has now been […]
This is a very insightful critical analysis from Ms. Andrea Zamudio regarding the Dream Act and a very dubious provision within it—-the military provision. This provision is one that aims to refuel America’s Imperialist Military Machine, all the while using Latinos to engage in war acts against other brown and black nations. This provision […]

The short-handled hoe is alive and well and living in California’s hotels. The hoe has been reincarnated as flat sheets, instead of fitted, and scrub brushes instead of longer handled scrubbers that permit maids to get up off of their hands and knees. Hotel mattresses, which can weigh up to 150 pounds, must be lifted […]
Writing about standards-driven education reform in her Releasing the Imagination, Maxine Greene explains: “The wilderness has many aspects, of course; the demons have many faces.
