Summary: GHW Bush, King of Fools is feigning distress again. Do not worry! I am sure that he and all of his followers can go on eating their "secret power food"(c.) until they end up picking their butt on a street corner. Brown Alert! Brown Dung Alert!

High school dropouts with extensive criminal records and known drug use allowed to substitute teach in Idaho. Violent Criminals stripped of gun rights teaching our children should not be allowed anywhere in America. By Dick Burnett October 15, 2011 PRIEST RIVER, Idaho – Parents of students in the West Bonner County School District are outraged that unqualified substitute teachers with long histories of criminal activity and drug use slipped through the district’s criminal and drug screening policy. The West Bonner County School District [WBCSD] has adopted several policies to promote a positive educational climate where students can safely grow and learn. WBCSD has educational requirements for teachers and both pre-employment criminal background checks and drug testing procedures, as required by state law, in place to prevent the hiring and employment of individuals not conducive with the district’s stated goals.

Over the past decade, the United States saw a growing shortage of teachers especially in inner-city and remote rural schools. This shortage was further compounded with the increased need for highly-qualified teachers as mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 mainly in core areas such as math, science and special education. In response to this shortage, school districts all over the country looked around the globe to recruit experienced and credentialed teachers to assist the country in educating its children. This was answered more than willingly by thousands of foreign teachers annually. The arrival of international teachers was welcomed by different schools nationwide. Indeed, our country is a nation of immigrants and it is built on the contributions of different peoples from all over the world. The communities readily embrace these new workers as they are to be part of the continuing story of our nation’s greatness. Meanwhile, these international teachers are delighted to having accomplished the first step towards a better future for their families – a shot at the American dream.

Bad Teacher is “gratifying” as eye-candy and verbal shock. It is an enjoyable movie precisely because it is not lame—at least not as lame as many of its movie reviews. And in the final analysis there is little subtly to this dark comedy—how might we say—as Andrew Breitbart’s description of a certain Anthony Wiener cellphone photo he so nobly withheld as: “…beyond the beyond…” There is nothing wrong with comparing the “psychology” of this new release to a maybe-to-be-released movie about Anthony Weiner’s downfall and destruction within America’s misandrynous climate. Brain cells are not what Bad Teacher is about—has the American movie industry produced a movie that has enhanced anyone’s brain cells? Bad Teacher Movie Review: Alternative Media

Creative response to Governor Corbett's budget cuts. In response to the budget cuts proposed by Governor Corbett, Temple University (so called, "diversity University") has decided to restructure their interdisciplinary departments (LGBT Studies, Women's Studies, Asian Studies, Latin American Studies, Jewish Studies, and American Studies) and move them into "home departments" only loosely related to them to save on a few small administrative stipends. Almost 500 people have signed a petition against this but the administration has not been receptive at all to student complaints.

A growing, more affluent population competing for ever scarcer resources could make for an "unrecognizable" world by 2050, researchers warned at a major US science conference Sunday. The United Nations has predicted the global population will reach seven billion this year, and climb to nine billion by 2050, "with almost all of the growth occurring in poor countries, particularly Africa and South Asia," said John Bongaarts of the non-profit Population Council. To feed all those mouths, "we will need to produce as much food in the next 40 years as we have in the last 8,000," said Jason Clay of the World Wildlife Fund at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). "By 2050 we will not have a planet left that is recognizable" if current trends continue, Clay said.

Please support James Kennedy, who was fired for union activity at the Comegys Elementary School afterschool program, a program of the University of Pennsylvania/Netter Center. On December 8, 2010, James Kennedy was fired from Comegys Elementary School afterschool program, part of the University of Pennsylvania's CSSP program. Kennedy is a dedicated teacher who had earned accolades for his work, but was fired for federally-protected union activity protected under section 7 of the NLRA. Penn had attempted to dock hours from his and his coworker's paychecks, and Kennedy stood up for his coworkers and said that that could not be done. He was told that he should not speak up for others, in violation of the law, and then Penn proceeded to find pretexts to fire him. James' coworkers were harassed and intimidated in order to break solidarity.

wcinvisibleparty.blogspot.com As public university students, it is expected that we should receive a quality education, subsidized by the state. Higher education as an institution for only the rich and elite should be a relic of the past. But, apparently the State does not hold the same views.

On the streets and particularly in Hip Hop there’s a saying known as “giving up the game.” This does not refer to the rapper the Game at all or any other specific individual. It does not refer to any sport or sporting event necessarily. It does not refer, for those who are unfamiliar with the term, to quitting, throwing in the towel or the most common usage of the term which is to give up. What it refers to is the act of relating the details of how a specific hustle on the streets works. It can also mean relating the details of lingo, codes, etc. It can mean giving up the details of a greater game and how it works. It can mean relating the details of how an institution works. Really it means relating the details of the way the inner workings of something operates previously known to only a select few, to insiders or to folks in the know.
