Not being content to ruin education in this nation, corporate education deformers have moved their nonsense to Mexico. They’ve gotten their hooks into the Mexican government on several levels.

They’ve murdered young folks who were protesting the destruction of the education system in Mexico.

Mass disappearance of future teachers

They’ve jailed labor leaders for protesting against BS reforms.

Jailing Peaceful Protesters

And now they’re outright murdering protesters in the streets

Police Murdering of Protesters

The neo-liberal forces of education “reform” have restored to out and out murder to destroy the education system and labor rights of educators in yet another country. Bad enough they’ve duped countless Americans (and sadly a few folks on here) into worshiping at the false alter of accountability, but now they’re killing the brave folks in Mexico who want to stand up for preservation of social justice in that nation.

My donations - some feedback?

I officially ended my 2014 election season political giving last week. I'd like to get some feedback from any interested parties in terms of feedback for this cycle and suggestions for 2016.

I typically avoid getting into full on battle mode with the local conservative jackasses who post on the comments section of my county newspaper. The editors put up a pro-ACA editorial today and it was predictably attacked by the local conservative intelligentsia. After doing some smaller line item commentary I decided to put a full-on pro ACA rant up into the comments section. I'll add it after the jump.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but the New York Times hit a new low on education commentary today with their editorial "The New Mayor and the Teachers."

If I violate fair use standards, please feel free to point that out. I'm not a frequent diarist on here.

With Kathleen Kane winning the PA Attorney General race, I’m feeling overwhelmed with a feeling of optimism that we can set off a series of positive events in our commonwealth to stake out a decade where the Democratic Party can make some real headway. Much like Michael Fay’s backside in Singapore, I think we can take the “Kane” to the Republican establishment in PA.

I fully admit to having ZERO ability to coordinate this effort, but I’d like to know if there are any groups out there that are working to connect recently disenfranchised voters to being able to obtain IDs.

Unreal. Just as I get done wrapping up some lesson planning, my afternoon was interrupted with a bone-headed communication about public employee pensions from a member of the PA House of Representatives. I'll include full information below, but what has me irked is that this Rep was a former full time college professor ...............in the state pension system.

I felt compelled to email my ding-a-ling Congressman, Pat Meehan, to let him know my displeasure at his “yes” vote on jamming up the payroll tax cut extension.

The White House is now allowing petitions to be posted, and 5000 signees will get you an official response!

This dairy will be a short but sweet run down of the contents of my petition. Long story short, the Obama administration is wrong to insist the teacher evaluation be tied to student results on standardized tests. This diary doesn’t seek to rehash every argument against “value added” testing measures. If you want to see that case made by a real education expert, peep a few Teacher Ken diaries here.

After a nearly two year gap my old Congressman, Joe Sestak is back to posting on here. He’s put up a series of articles over the past two weeks, and I’m hoping that he’ll be on a ballot near me soon.
