On these pages we are publishing stories on the fight for education in America. An education system is needed that does what education is supposed to do: that creates a cultured, thinking person who can analyze the world and take humanity forward. It can’t just be about getting trained for a job – the jobs are disappearing, taken over by the computers and robots.  We need a free, publicly owned education system that guarantees all the funding necessary for every school to serve every student. This will help us reach our ultimate goal – a cooperative society, where everyone’s needs are met and where we can truly begin exploring the potentials of humanness. Let’s talk!

  1. I was a puppeteer for 27 yrs; traveled all over the USA(and SE Asia); was in every possible situation with kids. My observations: a physically normal child cannot be kept from learning! That’s what humans are SUPPOSED to do!
    When I played for a kindergarten (or younger) class, they couldn’t be kept from responding.
    By the third grade, much of it is gone.
    I myself was a product of public schools and glommed to the fact that the true agenda is to teach kids to tolerate boredom and authority, and to learn just enough to follow orders. Anything else is extra, and because thousands andthousands of teachers CARE.
    (I was blessed: my parents were readers.)

Progressives? Conservatives? Left? Right? Who Do They All Represent?

The billionare class paints the economy as very good based on rising stock market episodes that don’t filter down to most blue-collar people. Let’s concentrate our efforts on those fighting for the needs of the many.

A Somali Perspective on Life in Minnesota

The words “Nobody wants you here,” may have been directed at one Somali family, but they do not define Minnesota’s Somali community. By listening to the voices of Somalis themselves, a different story emerges, one of belonging, resilience, and community.

50 Years Later: The Man Who Refused to Let Allensworth Disappear

While a historical site cannot bring back the haven of possibility that the town of Allensworth in the state of California once was, its presence forces a reckoning for anyone it reaches — a ceaseless act of resistance in itself.

ICE Killings Are Increasing, But So is the Resistance

If we allow ICE, as a servant of the powerful, to kill or deport our working class sisters and brothers then we are not only immoral, we’re setting ourselves up to be next in line for the detention centers.
