Public Affairs with Jeff Berkowitz - Ken Dunkin
by rss@youtube.com (tonytangcom)
26 Aug 2008 at 9:36pm
This week's Public Affairs features State Rep. Ken Dunkin (D-Chicago), who was born and raised in Chicago's Cabrini Green housing development. Dunkin has an undergraduate degree in political science from Morehouse College and a Master's Degree from the University of Chicago (SSA). He is in his 6th year in the Statehouse and is one of a few House Democrats who, on important matters, tend to align with the Governor over Speaker Mike Madigan. Topics discussed include the appeal of Barack Obama and Dunkin's assessment of Obama is based in part on what Dunkin knows about Obama, going back to when they met for the first time in 1991 on the basketball court, with both being students at the University of Chicago; how is a person better off being unemployed at the minimum wage in Illinois--$7:50/hr?than being employed at, say, $4:50/hr.; McCain and Obama compared in terms of who works better across the aisle than the other; which factors are most important in terms of explaining current levels and sectors of unemployment; what can be done to improve K-12 education, especially in failing schools in the City of Chicago? More parental involvement? More competition among private and public schools? School vouchers? Merit pay? What did Barack Obama say in 2002 about school vouchers and charter schools? Additional topics discussed include whether more guns will tend to result in less crime; would crime be lessened if criminals had to wonder if homeowners possessed a gun or not? Is there a problem of trust between the legislators and the Governor? Or is the problem that various legislators are seeking political advantage? Can the problem of trust be handled by having the Governor sign a memorandum of understanding? Will Blagojevich be impeached? Indicted? Should he be? Has Blagojevich taken money improperly from individual donors? Did he trade a government job for a campaign contribution from Ali Ata? RT/29:06

Pat McCrory's REAL stance on education

Bev Perdue is running ads in North Carolina accusing Pat McCrory of being anti-public schools. In this clip, McCrory explains his education stance to the Greater Greensboro Republican Women's Club, and sets the record straight -- our education system is broken, and we need more vocational training in high schools. "Free" community college is NOT the answer.

University Hides Obama Records From Media (details in description area)
by rss@youtube.com (LethalKillingMachine)
25 Aug 2008 at 4:55am
READ THIS! University Hides Obama Records From Media by Mark Impomeni The University of Illinois at Chicago finds itself in the middle of a growing controversy over the records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which it maintains at its Richard J. Daley Library. Sen. Barack Obama served on the Annenberg board of directors from 1995 until the project ended in 2001, spending three years as its first chairman. It was on the broad of the Annenberg Challenge where Sen. Obama served with the notorious former head of the 1960's radical group, William Ayers. The Annenberg Challenge was founded by Ayers and was responsible for administering a private grant of nearly $50 million to Chicago public schools. Journalists researching Sen. Obama's background as he prepares to accept the Democratic Party's nomination for president have been seeking to get a look at the records. But the Daley library has refused, after initially agreeing to make the records public, claiming that the donor of the material has not given permission for the records to be viewed by the press. The documents could shed more light on the relationship between Obama and Ayers. Obama is known to have visited Ayers' home at least once, attending a fund raiser there; and is believed to have gotten his start in Chicago politics in part with Ayers' blessing.Asked yesterday about the controversy over the records, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, son of the late mayor Richard J. Daley for whom the library is named, dismissed concerns over Obama's ties to Ayers, saying that Ayers' radical days are behind him. "Bill Ayers-I've said this-his father was a great friend of my father. I'll be very frank. Vietnam divided families, divided people. It was a terrible time of our country. People didn't know one another. Since then...[Ayers] has been in the forefront of a lot of education issues and helping us in public schools and things like that.People keep trying to align [Ayers] with Barack Obama. It's really unfortunate. They're friends. So what? People do make mistakes in the past. You move on. This is a new century, a new time. He reflects back and he's been making a strong contribution to our community." The Obama campaign has said in the past that Obama and Ayers were "friendly," implying a past relationship. Daley's comment indicates that the two remain friends. If the records indicate a deeper or an ongoing relationship between Obama and Ayers, it would be a major problem for the Obama campaign. Ayers and the Weather Underground are responsible for a spate of terrorist bombings in the waning days of the Vietnam War, including against the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon. Ayers was never convicted in connection to the bombings because his case was thrown out on an evidence gathering technicality, and he has never publicly repented for his alleged actions. As recently as September 11, 2001, in an op-ed published by the New York Times, Ayers said that he did not regret setting the bombs. "I don't think we did enough," he said. The Obama campaign has said that it has no control over the records or the University of Illinois library that is keeping them sealed. But Obama has based his appeal on his superior judgment, and questions about his relationship to an unrepentant terrorist cast a dark cloud over that judgment. Questions will persist until the records can be reviewed. The Obama campaign would do well to publicly call for the records to be opened, and allow for the press to report on their contents.

public schools Books
by Charles Murray
Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: Be careful with this book. While Murray acknowledges Gardner's argument that there are very different abilities, he then concludes that only those who score high on traditional tests, in other words those with the most verbal ability (especially) and math ability, should be the focus of our primary educational efforts.
He's right in arguing that college isn't for everyone and that we make a mistake by pushing all kids to go to college. But without an alternative well financed vocational training thrust and evaluations that measure all student abilities this will only help create an elite who have never been assessed for integrity, creativity, self-knowledge, street smarts, or technical gifts, and we will have a solution that will create far many more problems than it solves.
Murray's perspective is filled with a combination of insights worth reading and myopic elitist thinking that
fails to provide solutions to our most pressing educational problems.
Should the book be read? Sure, but with a very skeptical and critical eye.
by Jonathan Kozol
Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: First of all, I realize this book is slightly dated, in that it was published 17 years ago. The unfortunate thing is that I don't believe much has changed since Kozol wrote it... if there have been major changes, he wouldn't have found it necessary to write his second book, Shame of the Nation, or continue to push for equal-opportunity education like he is still doing today. So, although this book was researched and written awhile ago, I do believe it is still relevant for discussion today.
This book is sad. Plain and simple, it made me very sad to read about the way these kids have to "learn" every single day. Children who live in poverty every single day of their lives, who struggle just to get a decent meal and a good night's sleep, who cannot count on safety, a clean environment, or even love from their families, should absolutely, 100% have one place they can call their sanctuary - their school. Unfortunately, this book showed that is simply not the case. Children who live in these horrifying conditions of dire poverty are going to "schools" (and I say that loosely because some of the schools Kozol describes simply are not places to learn) that are decrepit, dirty, disgusting, with not enough space, not enough teachers, not enough books, no computers, and sometimes not even enough working toilets. There isn't another way to describe this book other than horrifying. Pure and simple, we should not be allowing any child to spend a minute in these conditions, let alone every day for eight hours a day. This book is heartbreaking to read, but it needs to be read, because I truly do not think that conditions have changed since the book was published in 1991. This is something that, as a country, we need to improve, big time. Our future literally depends on it.

Customer Review: This book is very easy to read and is very helpful in understanding school law.
by Kern Alexander, M. David Alexander
Amazon Price: $121.45
Customer Review: As a Texas public school administrator, I highly recommend never spending a moment of your life reading this. There is a much better book called "An Educator's Guide to Texas School Law." If you're a Texas educator, I would buy that book and avoid this one. This is a college text intended for LAW students. I was forced to buy this for a school law class as a part of my administration degree. What a waste of time. It's nothing more than a book full of case law pertaining to public education in the United States. Things your SCHOOL LAWYER should know, but not necessarily you. Your lawyer should summarize and/or you should read a more to-the-point book summarizing it.
Short version: if you're not a LAW student or a LAWYER, this book will do nothing more than bore you to tears.

Amazon Price: $21.00
Customer Review: I am taking a Health Care Management Strategy class and this book was recommended by our professor.
Very well thought and comprehensive book.
Some comclusions can be challenged, but the book bringing a new look on Health Care and provide solutions for improvements.
by John Taylor Gatto
Amazon Price: $10.36
Customer Review: This is a great book for the most part. Although I agree with many of his points, I disagree in the part where he proposes a reform that requires mandatory community service. In the book he mostly says that people do well when they aren't made to do something, and yes community service is great but it shouldn't be forced on people, and people should have the option to decide if that is what they want to do. That's what freedom is all about.
He's right about school. My experience in school felt like a prison, where my teachers didn't take me seriously, they sometimes liked humiliating me and my classmates, and honestly to this day, I have zero respect for teachers. I can't look back on a teacher that I actually liked. Many of them just made me follow dumb rules that had nothing to do with learning but about respecting authority.
Even as a college student, I feel that college is just another scam, its not about learning but about getting that degree so you can get a good job. Getting As and Bs isn't a sign of intelligence, but a sign that you did the work the way that your teacher wanted you to. I think true learning occurs when you are accountable to yourself for your own education.

Customer Review: The story of American education is simple: the captains of industry unloaded the costs of training onto their serfs, and we pay for our own enslavement.
Disgraceful indeed.
by Tarun Khanna
Amazon Price: $19.77
Customer Review: Before starting the book, I was suspicious of an Indian man (albeit a scholar) writing about India and China. Many authors tend to be overly negative or unrealistically positive about their native countries, especially when comparing to other countries... It was impressive how Khanna acknowledged certain bias tendencies and while reading the book I came to respect his unwavering commitment to objectivity. I thought he always gave both countries a fair and critical look, admiring and questioning when appropriate regardless if it was India or China.
As an entrepreneur myself, it was fascinating to get a glimpse into the human stories and anecdotal evidence of the statistics that are abound in major news stories. Those exact personal encounters are what made this a page-turner for me...I felt like I got a chance to meet people I wouldn't have met otherwise.
Finally, I loved the overall optimism that Khanna has for China, India and the world. In today's atmosphere of doom and gloom it's remarkable to see an academic looking forward with excitement. I appreciated the thorough observations, intelligent and substantiated analysis in the book; I am waiting for a sequel about Russia and Brazil!
