Bill Wright It was reported this morning that the Pelosicare bill will eliminate the CHIP problem by 2013. Interesting development, I wonder if the NEA will be work against provision.

Whole Child Join us November 5, 2009 on the Whole Child Podcast to hear how and why schools and communities succeed when they focus on supporting students. Research and common sense reaffirm that not only educators, but communities must invest in supporting students to stay in school because we all pay the price when students drop out.

Should every person in America also have quality affordable health insurance? (And some can not afford much at all.) Should we share that cost as we share school, roads, police, fire, and military costs? Our teachers are losing that struggle especially when pregnant or those who have families.

no every person in america should not have insurance, it is a privilege , not a right. Doctors go to school for 9 years and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn their craft. They deserve to be compensated handsomly, and not through our government. Lets not even talk about illegal immigrants? they DESERVE healthcare too? We live in an ...

We in Hawaii are suffering both students and teachers. They have made 17 furlough days a school year. This Friday will make the 3rd Friday in a row with no school. It is nice to have days off but haven't gotten the pay checks that support that yet. The students can not afford to lose 17 days of school. It just sucks all around!!!! Our govonor took all of the stumulis money given for education and put it towards the state deficit. Hawaii's education is in trouble!!!

Have you read the book? I disagree with some points of the book, but to put it in the queue with Mao is a bit much. Give specific arguements that you disagree with. Open up a dialogue, but please don't revert back to red-baiting. We've been there and done that.

You are right about the Mao's Little Red Book. That really is about a peasant revolution. A better example would be Marx's Communist Manifesto. Alinsky was a Marxist follower that created a blueprint for a revolution under the banner of "social change"

LE CONCERT - Bande-annonce [HD]
A l'époque de Brejnev, Andrei Filipov était le plus grand chef d’orchestre d'Union soviétique et dirigeait le célèbre Orchestre du Bolchoï. Mais après avoir refusé de se séparer de ses musiciens juifs, dont son meilleur ami Sacha, il a été licencié en pleine gloire. Trente ans plus tard, il travaille toujours au Bolcho...ï mais… comme homme de ménage. Un soir, alors qu'Andrei est resté très tard pour astiquer le bureau du maître des lieux, il tombe sur un fax adressé au directeur : il s'agit d'une invitation du Théâtre du Châtelet conviant l'orchestre du Bolchoï à venir jouer à Paris… Soudain, Andrei a une idée de folie : pourquoi ne pas réunir ses anciens copains musiciens, qui vivent aujourd'hui de petits boulots, et les emmener à Paris, en les faisant passer pour le Bolchoï ? L'occasion tant attendue de prendre enfin leur revanche…Read More
