WHO COULD POSSIBLY OPPOSE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE?
WHO COULD POSSIBLY OPPOSE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE? Who could possibly oppose universal healthcare? Universal health insurance makes sense (Medicare for all). Every other citizen-centered society has universal health care. The USA does not. Why? Follow the money: Who profits from stopping citizens from having adequate, affordable medical coverage? Let’s look at the compensation of people who […]

AMERICA: BLINDFOLDED AND PLACED AGAINST THE WALL
During the holiday break, we traveled on a road paralleling THE BORDER WALL, a great scar on the landscape and a steel barrier being built as a tribute to Trump. It gives the middle finger to all those who choose freedom, morality, decency, and love. The Wall is a path of destruction 50 feet wide […]

NON-ELECTED WEALTH-DRIVEN FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS OWN OUR GOVERNMENT

REMEMBERING GEORGE AND SUE KELLY

When he wasn’t setting a fruit tree of jabbing at a noxious weed he was following a wall and unearthing an ancient room. At night, sitting […]

AS AN EDUCATOR I’VE HELD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT
Let’s start with a no-brainer: No Education Without Immediate And Practical Application. That sums up all that I know about learning, teaching, and education. All that I have observed and found true since I began teaching in 1961. It is the key to understanding why the education systems have been failing our children. It is […]

Did You Miss The Celebration?
Those who are celebrating do not intend to represent our communities. In the primary elections, big money from outside – called Dark Money – succeeded in blocking community interests. Take the future of our public schools for example. By positioning themselves for a win in the general election, they can put in place a plan […]

Too Many Politicians Reject The Concept Of Representing Those Who Elected Them
Sometimes you just need to get away and sit beside a beautiful stream and sort your thoughts. My thoughts were running into each other and processing the same information over and over again. I had chased questions around and around in my head until I had to assume that very little of what I was […]

We Can Recover From The School Choice Movement
We have over 20 years of data about charter schools (partial schools) and how they have benefited or damaged public education and children. Originally, the purpose of charter schools was to free educators with new insights and give them the support they needed to create education programs that would improve our public schools. Many effective […]
