Author attacks inequities in U.S. education system

By Ashima Singal

April 13, 2005

Poor children are being deprived of educational opportunity, legendary education activist Jonathan Kozol said on Tuesday night.

Kozol is a Harvard alumnus and Rhodes scholar, but he is most well-known for being fired from his 4th grade teaching job after reading Langston Hughes poems.

He visited a number of cities across the nation studying segregation, "the modern form of apartheid." Segregation is everywhere, not just a Southern problem, he said. His usually deep and steady voice shook when he discussed different spending levels for children.

"The ones I write about are cheap babies.," he said. "They have a price tag written on their foreheads."

The event was co-sponsored by Hillel Cultural Life, Northwestern Community Development Corps, and For Members Only.

Tony says to be a moderate is to be shallow as spit.

Exactly! If you don't stand for anything you end up falling for everything.

Says we've made child molestation and rape decriminalized in this country.

This is what NAMBLA has been working towards for many years.

[prairiebreeze]

Thank you for the info on Kozol. Don't know how I've missed his name but it certainly didn't ring any bells.

[prairiebreeze]

Yes, they were mentioned by Foley on today's show.

[Txsleuth]

I had the TV on Looney Tunes a couple of weeks ago when I was babysitting and the Bugs Bunny cartoons about WW11 were on!!! It was weird...but they do still play them!

Tony, if Heather is still listening, ask her to join the thread on FreeRepublic. She has her very own song!!!

MIDI - HOW CAN I BE SURE (Rascals)

How can we be sure...sure that Heather's really an airhead
How can we be sure...Tony shows the way

Whenever she, whenever she is calling to a show
You soon will see, you will soon see there's much she doesn't know

Oh, poor Heather...her brain is made out of leather
All now know she's foolish whether
She opens her mouth or not

Whenever she gets her talking points she seems confused
She calls a show...does Heather know we are just so amused

Oh, poor Heather...her brain is made out of leather
All now know she's foolish whether
She's opening her mouth or not
She opens her mouth or not

How can we be sure
We really, really, really want to know
It's really, really, really fun to know
Let's be mocking her
Every time she dares to call
Each times she calls...it will be such good fun for all
Watch...on her face she's gonna fall
She will go splat...right on her face she's gonna fall

Oh, poor Heather...her brain is made out of leather
All now know she's foolish whether
She's opening her mouth or not
She opens her mouth or not

How can we be sure...sure that Heather's really an airhead
How can we be sure...Tony shows the way

I like that picture. It makes me feel skinny.

Tony asking if Souters house is condemmed yet. LOL!! Says he wants to stay at that hotel when it's made. That would be the best place for a Tony Snow thread get together! LOL

[doug from upland]

Bernie is making the rounds. He is now on with Laura. Come on FReepers, any FReeper worth his/her salt can listen to both shows at the same time. Some of us can even make a veggie omelette and make business calls while listening to both. :)

[b4its2late]

Has Souter said anything about his house and that whole thing? Probably not, but just wondering....

[retrokitten]

Not that I have heard, but I'm not very observant. LOL Last I heard about it he had police protection (rolling eyes) and the city board was very enthusiastic about the project.

re: Duke Cunningham

The RATS are putting ads in the NY TIMES attacking the ethics of 6 Republicans, including Cunningham. We need to run an ad in the WASHINGTON TIMES condemning Cunningham for partying with single women, getting drunk, driving off a bridge, killing a girl, leaving the scene, and paying off the family. Then we can say, WHOOPS, it wasn't Cunningham.

[prairiebreeze]

Well, this FReeper doesn't dare try to do anything else while I'm invoicing. Can't afford to screw that up!

Ok, I'm gone.
