Art that soothes...Art that energizes...
Art that soothes and energizes inspires me. Just like music, I find its effect remarkable. Gaze at this extraordinary piece of art. What does it do for your soul?

Getting Schooled by Fools...
www.govtrack.us
Thanks, LA Senator Mary Landrieu, for making it EASIER for all of those new for-profit voucher schools to get instant principals. So now, we are outsourcing our administration certification process to anyone who wants to apply for a charter from the state to "train" them! Here's my favorite quote from Congressional Act 1250: "The Principal Preparation Act shall not have unnecessary restrictions on the methods the principal preparation academy will use to train principal candidates, including restrictions or requirements." I wish I was kidding...
Public Education as Social Justice
Public Education as Social Justice
The greatest civil rights injustice will take place once all public schools have been sold to the highest bidder and our poorest and neediest citizens will be denied entrance into schools because they are "too expensive" to educate. There - I have taken the the policy to its furthest logical conclusion. And it will strip away ALL that we have fought for these past 200 years. Only 3rd world countries privatize their schools.
Choosing Change
"Every time one schoolteacher is fired for standing up courageously for justice, it must be faced with the fact that there are four thousand more to be fired."
Martin Luther King
LOVE, love love this colorful version of Reverend King...but mostly his "truth stare"...like he's looking right at me, challenging me, loving me, asking me if I will choose change - and all that goes with it.
