Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally
Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions
August 8, 2011
WASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political
team was forced to do emergency damage
control Monday after the former Alaska
governor's daughter Bristol
accidentally divulged on live
television that her mother has
undergone at least 15 abortions over
the past 30 years. "She's always
telling me how special I am,
especially considering the five or six
babies she aborted before I was born,"
Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview
in which she was asked if she thought
her mother would make a good
president. "Then of course there were
the twins she aborted shortly after
having me, another four abortions
after Willow somehow survived hers—but
anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She
just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't
always want to have the baby." Palin
also commended her mother's strength
in carrying three babies with Down
syndrome to term, and then even
choosing not to give Trig up for
adoption like the others.

Summer 2011
Hello Everyone:
Summer
is drawing to a close, and for me the last
few months have been filled with awesome
experiences and new beginnings! It ranged
from travelling abroa d
and teaching in Europe to starting on a new
series in my studio. I got to speak French
in Morges and Paris (not very well, but I
still enjoyed it!). To top it all off I
taught some wonderful quilt
artists
at the:
Fine Artist
Network in Jacksonville, Fl.
QSDS (the Quilt
Surface Design Symposium) in Columbus, Ohio
 I
am back in the states and really focused on
creating my latest series, called
Prehistoric Archeologies. In addition, I am
getting ready to hit the road again teaching
fiber art workshops
this fall and.... of course teach
architecture as well.
And - I have
some exciting news! I will have 4 quilts in
an exhibit next year that will include the
work of Harriet Bell, Judy Chicago, Miriam
Shapiro and Faith Ringgold!
I will
keep you posted on my
blog.

GANTT REPORT
When
the devil and his wicked associates want you
gone, he and his followers will do
everything they can to take you out! This is
especially true for community an d
governmental leaders.
As
long as you say what the devil wants you to
say and do what he devil wants you to do,
you’re all right. But when you step out of
line, the devil will put you in check.
Attempted murder
History shows that opposing devilish
suggestions, disagreeing with devilish ideas
and acting independently from devilish plans
can get you killed! If not physically
murdered, you will be slain economically.
Oftentimes, righteous people can fight off
one devil, but Satan will form a coalition
of devils that will not stop until their
evil work is done. The devil will send
enemies to your church, school, and job. The
devil will sometimes even put enemies in
your own house.
The
Biblical David is well known for killing the
giant Goliath. David was not perfect, so he
had a slew of Biblical enemies. David had no
problem defeating the armies and soldiers
that hated him. He fought his opponents
wherever they surfaced.
Devil at home
But
David’s worse enemy was perhaps his son, his
own flesh and blood – someone he had taken
care of for many years. The devil was in
David’s own house!
David’s son Absalom wanted to be in charge.
He wanted David dead and gone. Similarly, in
2012, devilish governmental leaders meet and
plot and plan to get rid of any other
government leaders that cannot be
controlled.
As
long as Libya was selling African
commodities like oil and other petroleum
products to NATO member-nations, the leader
of Libya was described as an ally, a trade
partner and a so-called good Muslim.
But
one day, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi
encouraged other African nations to use a
different currency when dealing with Western
powers. Gaddafi suggested that African
nations should begin to sell their diamonds,
coffee, rubber, silver, iron ore and other
commodity-type resources for gold instead of
trading via dollars and Euros.
You
can talk about Israel and you can talk about
disagreements between Libyan citizens and
factions, but the NATO and United States
bombs didn’t strike continuously until
Gaddafi began to tell the truth that paper
money is like a bee without honey and no
stinger to back it up.
‘Rebels’ in charge?
Now
recently NATO has declared so-called Libyan
rebels as being the legitimate rulers of
Libya. Negro (for lack of a better word),
please! Can you imagine NATO saying that
‘rebels’ are the legitimate government
leaders for the United States, England,
France or Germany? I can answer that. HELL,
NO!
Citizens decide the fate of their
governmental leaders in nearly every
country. But the devil has always said
Africans and people of African descent are
not the same as Whites from Europe. At one
time we were considered to be one-fifth of a
White person. So it is no surprise that U.S.
and NATO forces would bomb Libya and
terrorize Black Libyans and Black Libyan
communities.
The
true devil doesn’t want justice or peace; he
only wants to maintain world control. And
any government or community leader the devil
can’t control, he will try to kill or
destroy!
However, if God is your battle-axe, no
weapon formed against you will prosper –
even if you’re the leader of a disagreeing
Muslin nation.

Writing" on Amazon.com and from bookstores

AMERICAN MAFIA, MOBS, GANGS
INCLUDE MANY GROUPS!!!
(WRITTEN 2010)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
Fellow Americans must come
to understand just how much
misunderstanding has been given on the
real truth about the many “Mafia,”
Mob,” “Gangs” we allow to operate
in our nation! We have been convinced
that the “Mob” is really the
Italian like criminal that fit the “Soprano
and Gad Father” image. But in
reality there are many other “Mob
and Mafia” operations in the
nation.
For example Exxon/Mobil
and the oil cooperation in general are
nothing but legitimate “Mobs!”
They conduct schemes of rip-offs that
fit any definitions of “The Mob or
Mafia!” The banking industry is
nothing but a legitimate “Mafia.
Gang or Mob!” So are the Wall
Street, Pharmacy, Mining Industry
which include Coal, Oil, copper, Iron,
etc! All these industries conduct
business that takes advantage of the
American citizens for services and
living resources. The “Tea Partiers
and GOP” is presently a “Gang”
of bottom feeders. They know too much
about too little and nothing about the
social and political issues they try
to run!
In addition, for
minorities and especially Blacks, the
label “Gang” has been accepted
as any group of Black boys consisting
of three or more congregating
together! This label allows the Law
Enforcement to, by rule of thumb,
round up and/or search these boys for
a liberal exercise of “Probable
Cause.” The Black community
experiences these roundups to the
extent that there are more Blacks in
prisons today than there were before
the Civil War between the States. This
whole tragedy has been enhanced by the
privatization of prisons. Now prison
make profit at the rate of about
$30,000.00 pre filled bed plus any
funds generated by the farming out of
this captured labor!
Further, it is noticed that it is
easier to place a Black Gang member in
jail than to jail a CEO, etc!

THE
X GENERATION OF COLLEGE GRADUATES ARE
READY TO ACT BUT DON’T KNOW HOW-BOOMERS
MUST INSTRUCT THEM IN CIVIL ACTION!!
(WRITTEN 2011)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
Have you noticed that your
siblings or Grand sibling who have
graduates from college are still at home?
Is your college graduate son are daughter
in your spear room, cellar, or attic room?
Some boomers have two generations of
siblings living in their homes looking for
jobs----some times! Why id this?
Today’s College
graduates do not have the opportunities to
get positions the same rates as their
boomer parents and grandparent had. In
addition, and more devastating they do not
know that their condition is really not
the accepted norm or necessity in a
civilized wealthy society! They do not
have the advantage of being able to find
work after graduation, as did their
parents and/or grandparents! They have no
frame of reference to determine/conclude
that they have been mistreated by the
wealthy and special interest Leaders of a
government which is intended to conduct a
government that is “of,
by, and for” the
posterity of all it’s citizens! It is
their right to have a society that
provides employment for those that are
prepared a willing to work. They do not
know what to do or who to do it to!! To
add insult to injury, these unemployed
college are subjected to what is called “Black
Boy” round ups! This is an activity
where of more than two Black boys are
found together in a public place they are
stopped by the police and charged as a “Gang!”
They are rushed to a “Plea Bargain”
and placed on Probation for about three
years. This provides them with a criminal
record that they carry to their search for
jobs.
The
unemployment of a college graduates could
cost each family about $30,000.00 per
year. Therefore, if they graduated in 2004
they would have lost about eight yeas
income or about $240,000.00.
The fact that the American
wealthy and self serving Congress is
neglecting to do their duty of creating
work even if it does not bring a bottom
line profit to the wealthy few that have
greedily, deliberately, and criminally
create this tragedy on American citizens.
They are America's clear and present
enemies. They are the few but the
powerfully wealthy!! The citizens do not
exist for the profit of the wealthy or the
wealthy corporations. The Capitalist exist
for the service of the citizens.
The X Generation is the
problem of the Boomers.

GOP GOAL-DEFEAT OBAMA AND THE
NATION IF NECESSARY!!
(WRITTEN 2011)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
The
GOP hates the Democrats, who they call
Liberal and Progressive. They are willing
to destroy our great nation to defeat
Democrats. They use lies, misinformation
and criminal force to meet their
objectives.
The GOP has embraced racist,
sexist, homophobes, the greedy, and
criminal. Amoral, bad, and ugly as their
army of evil! They have taken
lightweights, ignorant, idiopaths and
allowed the finances of such “wealthy
crazies tyrants to be as Koch” and
Rove to completely destroy the political
election system of America! The power of
our Media/Public Broadcasting machine
presents a propaganda tool more power and
effective than any in history. It can move
the citizens to vote against their best
interest all too frequently.
In addition and most
importantly, in this election the GOP is
determined to destroy the Presidency of
Obama just because he is a Black man!!
This racism is the sickness that has
plagued America for all time. As a prime
issue, “Gay Rights” it has become a
sideshow that is being used to bring Obama
to the well of religion and fear, fear of
being taken over by what is called the “Sodom
and Gomorra” tide. They say,
“Gays are breeding like flies and will be
taking over the world as we know it!”
The Gay community needs to consider
what good would it be if they get rights
by law and allow the GOP to get elected
and administer these laws-a Jim Crow to be
sure!
President Obama in a media
appearance today was intellectually
precise in talking about his conflict with
the GOP on issues, He was in this authors
opinion too careful in has words
especially when his adversaries are
consistently hitting him hard by calling
him a war monger, criminal administration,
too socialistic, incompetent, having
Birther problems, traitorous, etc. These
are not the words of a group that is
trying not to be offensive to a sitting
President!
In all truth, Obama is trying
to give the nation back to the citizens
over the active objections of the wealthy
and the greedy!
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION: The Field Marshals of
America Citizen's army are= Maddow, Ed
Schultz, Crist Matthews, Sharpton, Ulgy,
etc. MSNBC-The media of truth and guts!!

MSNBC’S
UYGUR GREATEST PROGRESSIVE FIELD MARSHAL OF
THE WEEK!!
(WRITTEN 2011)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
On
Monday June 13, 2011, MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur
magnificently hosted one of the most important
confrontations with the causes of America’s
economic crisis today! Uygur is one of the
Prime Marshals (i. e. Moddow. Matthews,
Schultz, Olberman, etc) of this war with the
most dangerous coalitions of economic evil in
history: that of the American and world
financial industries. The super refined
capitalist jugger naught has brought the whole
American nation to a screeching halt!!
Uygur, precisely named the causes
of the crisis as the Corporations, Wall
Street, and supporting financial Industry! He
further described the only way to recapture
America’s health is to use all ways at
governments disposal to reorder economics as
only one of the five primary institution in
society, not the institution that runs all
other institutions! With fearless accuracy He
accurately presented the candidates as only
having fear and emotions laced with calling
Obama and his administration foul names as
Birthers, White man hater, War monger,
Muslims, Criminal Administration, etc!! The
recovery of Federal Revenues (Corporate Taxes
and tax reform) and job exported by industry
were never proposed. They tried to sale the
lie that taxes were the cause of the present
depression.
Uygur,
took the six GOP candidates to the line of
truth and intents for their lack public good!
He exposed them quickly as essentially a group
of pathetic weak intellectually challenged
opportunist!
Uygur,
beware, yes, be yee very aware, the “Right
Wing GOP Tea Partiers” will be coming soon
to get you- - - and your other progressive
Field Marshals!

AMERICAN ARE FINALLY PUTTING THE LAIRS
IN THEIR PLACE AND READY TO HAVE THE TRUTH
CONFIRMED!!!
(WRITTEN 2011)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
It is refreshing to see that
fellow Americans are now becoming aware of the
fact that politicians, Tea Partiers, The
Limbaugh’s, O”Reileys, GOP have been taking
advantage of the fact that lies and fear can
be easily used to confuse and exploit the
voting public. Although the reasons are simple
and clear that America is the victim of Greed,
Amoral and criminal capitalist, it has been
difficult to get our leaders to reinforce the
truth and move the public to action. This
crisis in economics is as simple as the public
sees it. Two percent of our citizens have
amassed eighty percent of the wealth and are
refusing to create the conditions that will
lead the citizens back to being able to
achieve prosperity. The lies have super
saturated the media that say that this
situation is so complicated that very few can
understand the problem or the solution.
Two percent of Americans hold 40
trillion dollars of wealth and the National
debt is about 14 trillion! It is easy math to
use 14 trillion dollars from the wealthy to
cove the National Debt and invest in a
recovery. However, propaganda has convinced
Americans that this is a communist/socialists
act “wealth redistribution” that must be
shunned. This is like a family of four with
the father responsible for its safety and
prosperity and one of the siblings grabbing
eighty percent of their income. In this case
the father is still responsible for safety and
family survival and is being denied the family
wealth held by this lone
sibling! In American there are four major
siblings or institutions (e. g. Family,
Religion, Education, Economic, and
political/Government) The Government is
responsible for the protection of all
institutions but out institution of
economic/Capitalism has accumulated and is
hording a major portion of the wealth. The
Government has the power to act for the good
of the nation, however, the power of moving
the wealth to the good of the nation is denied
to them. Moving wealth for any reason and by
any means is denied the government by the
misguided belief that this is a repugnant act
of “Communism or Socialism” the thing
we all have been taught that we must love to
hate!!
But our type of “Democracy”
has produced no jobs because companies have
deliberately moved them to cheap labor over
seas! The National Debt is high because the
wealthy pay few taxes. There are wars to only
profit private industry. There are few
controls/regulations on the institutions of
economics in private industry thus creating
great pollution and poisoning of citizens. The
Nations Prison system has moved from a moral,
rehabilitate philosophy to a private Incas
ration for profit system! All these things are
true but do not have to be that way. The tail
of our society, Capitalism. is wagging the
dog!! These Americans are no more than common
criminals. The president still has the
Military, CIA, FBI, and the button at his
disposal. The jail cells are big enough to
hold a CEO, Statesman, Wall Street criminal
just as comfortable as Joe Six Pack, June Bug
and Hippie Love Child gone wrong!
These types of presentations must
be made frequently at this time. The
progressive people’s Field Marshals of this
war must be the MSNBCs O’Donnels,
Maddows, Matthews, Schultz’s, and Sharptons.
Jesse Jacksons and you! They must be as
frequently vocal as O’Reiley, Palin, Tea
Party, GOP, and Limbaugh’s!!

Afghanistan Troops brought home-GOOD FOR THE
NATION'S SPIRIT, BAD FOR THE NATIONS ECONOMY!!
(WRITTEN 2011)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
AFGANISTIAN SOLDER FOOD LINES
What if 200,000 Afghanistan
Troops were brought home?? After a short lived
celebration, American would see 200,000
ex-solders unemployed and manufactured war
equipment would be pilling up for lack of
consumption!! The Military Industrial Complex
would fall into depression adding to the
already difficult economic problem! America, a
nation of human Ideals run on the power of the
material consumption needed for “eternal
wars”
would roll over and stew in its own gravy.
What a system!!!
(Kirsten Gillibrand, To Push
For An 'Aggressive Drawdown Of Combat Troops'
From Afghanistan,
aterkel@huffingtonpost.com:
05/24/11)
SOLUTION:
"Wall
Street” would
save the “profitable”
war industry by, “packaging and out
sourcing” to
other nations individual solders or unites to
other sovereign nations or private-for-profit
military mercenaries organizations. This is
capitalist solution to using as a commodity
the 200,000 already trained men and produced
materials for profit! Further, all presidents
hereafter would not have to go to Congress to
declare and conduct a war/military action no
matter how insane it may be!
Erik
Prince, Blackwater Founder, is getting ready
to Broker American Military and materials
preparing for the end of the Afghanistan war!!
(Amy Goodman, Democracy Now! Posted on
May 18, 2011) The competition will be
mean and hard for the limited “Brokering”
licenses that would be issued.
CONCLUSION:
This
solution is the “Capitalist way.” They
would either build more jails/prisons for
those solders turned lawbreakers, looking for
a way to make a living, manufacture special
corrugated boxes for homes for the homeless
down and out vets., or the just described
using them as a commodity for sale! The better
solution that of a good “Statesman”
would be to redirect these military funds to
develop better infrastructure and new industry
that would grow into a profitable business
someday! (i. e. TVA. Auto, industry recovery,
new renewable energy. Etc.)

GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE INSTITUTION
SERVING OUR INSTITUTION OF
ECONOMICS/CAPITALISM!!!
(WRITTEN
2011)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
It is
time that our enlightened Leaders tell the
citizens in “simple words” what is the
basic problem in American today. It goes like
this.
American Institutions:
All
civilized societies classically have at the
least five necessary and basic
Institutions- 1.Family, 2.Religion,
3.Education, 4.Economics and
5.Government/politics. In a Democracy
(Republic) where the constitution provides
that the government is one of, for and by the
people the Institution of clean uncorrupted
Politics/Government is at the coordinating (or
controlling) position (Top)! In other words
the other four Institutions are serving the
citizens in a manor that the Government
protects the citizens from any harm they may
cause. Therein, lies the problem in American
Today. (David C. Korten, The Positive
Futures Network & The People, Centered
Development Forum, November 30, 1999)
Government has become the institution that is
serving our Economic institution of
Capitalism!! The tail is wagging the dog so to
speak.
Institution of Economics Wag the Dog:
The
Institution of Economic (Capitalism American
Style) has become so powerful that it causes
harms all the other four institutions.
Whenever the Institution of Economics does or
owns out right it controls and exploits the
others using Greed and Amoral means.
(Les Leopold, How Wall Street Thieves, Led by
Goldman Sachs, Took Down the Global Economy,
AlterNet, April 25, 2011) Capitalism
now is more powerful and less supportive to
the tenants of our Government than is any
other Institutions! There is at least one
thing that would stop the incursion of
Economics into the Institution of Government-“If
there was an aggressively enforced Law against
offering a bribe to an incumbent/acting
Government Official and a crime for any
Special Interest to make such an offer.”
Each infraction must be equal in it s
punishment to all parties!!
Institution of Economics VS Government:
If
boldly said, the hierarchy of American
institutions 5.Government/Politics should be
controlling of citizen units at the top
followed in order by Economics, Education,
Religion, and Family! Each Institution has
it’s greater influence on the members of the
group (i. e. Government-nation, 4.
Economics-service clients or areas,
2.Religion-congregations, 3. Education-school
bodies.1. Family-members)
Example of Economics working to
change Education:
For Example, resently it was
reported that Economics/Capitalism openly was
attempting to influence and/or change the
Institution of Education! Koch Brothers, who
are Corporation CEOs, provided money to
Florida State University with the stipulation
that Koch could choose the professors for tier
particular objectives and philosophies!

academic freedom and cancel the deal with the
Koch brothers: http://bit.ly/maEbgf)

AMERICAN
PRISONERS ARE THROW AWAY HUMANS-NO REAL
REHABILITATION OFFERED!!
(WRITTEN 2011)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
The weekend MSNBC may be
the most depressing an indictment of America’s
existing culture of justice ever seen. The
level of cruel and unusual physical would
devastate fraud as a psychologically civilized
society tool as implemented. No, there is not
so much out right physical whipping and
torturing characteristic of the medieval days.
There are no thumbscrews, iron maidens, rack
of nails or splinters under the nails that
will be admitted. But the rehabilitation has
been thoroughly stripped from the
consciousness and practices of this 2011
prison phonology. What am I talking about?
Noted
author, Radek M.
Gadek (Rehabilitation Versus Punishment
in the Adult Justice System) states clearly.
“There needs to be a nationwide effort to
shift the focus of corrections from
incarceration to alternative programs
(rehabilitation) that address the special
needs of offenders. In addition, most
alternative programs are far less expensive
than incarceration of prisoners. Such savings
can then be used for educational and
preventive programs. However, there is a
drawback of such a mobilization: the “buck
stops here.” Individuals, communities, local,
state, and federal governments must be
involved in order for such programs to
succeed.”
The average measurement of the
modern cells of today is for one man, 6’ x 8’,
and for two prisoners, 9’ x 12’, There is a
toilet in the rear of the cell, a half bed on
side, and a slit on the door for feeding and
taking to prisoners in the room. The reading,
TV, and other mind relieving/challenging
materials are deliberately heavily restricted.
When you listen to the inmates talk about
their condition in the joint, they say,
“The boredom droves you mad. You can
masturbate only so much and you become
infected and ill!! Day in and day out you look
at the walls. Most times this is a 24-7
environment. You are told to think of your
self as nothing, a piece of human feses as you
are frequently called. Any show of a contrary
response is recorded as being rebellious and
disrespectful to guards and placed in your
record for further reference at a time when
your case may come up for review before a
parole Board This is worse than a living dead.
You work to be invisible, a part of the
furniture, so to speak! If I ever get out I
will be no good for anything or anybody, I
can’t even get a job to take care of yourself
or a family and will be back in here again for
sure” Prisoners frequently do go mad.
They foul themselves and their surroundings.
The clean ups are just as punishing. The
amount of chlorax and Lysol used is so strong
that it burns the eyes and makes breathing a
labor.
There is
precious little if any rehabilitation
going on. and to add insult to injury, America
is rushing move this strictly social
institution to economic by privatizing its
jails. Yes, Americans seem to have very little
human characteristics of, morality,
sensitivity, and responsible humane when given
the power to control their fellow human
beings/ Further, America cannot resist the
opportunity to move to “Jails for Profit”
at $30,000.00 per bed! Instead of reviewing
and improving American Criminal Justice System
of Rehabilitation, America is busy
refining it’s Punishment character to
feed the “Capitalist” octopus that has
smothered our other Institutions! Once again,
without morals and ethics all human
institutions die under their own weight.
Americans must love and work to continues to
improve all things of, by, and for the
citizens!!!
America
should ask the question, “If all of the
prisoners (approximately one quarter of a
million) could be rehabilitated and released
back into society, where would they work in
the present work force??” Over forty
percent of Black males in America are in the
Criminal Justice System!! (D.
Price,
More Black Men Now
in Prison System Than Were Enslaved, Alter
news,
March 31, 2011)
Did you know rhat the culture of most Local PD
to conduct “Black Boy Round ups!” If there are
some Black boys standing together they all are
labeled gangs, coveys, herds, and etc.,
arrested, charged, resulting in them having to
plead “Guilty” and accept a “Plea Bargain” of
“time in jail and parole.” This is their entry
into a life of in and out of prison for
cumulative offenses!
If you
so just a little studying you will find that
the experts in breaking the human sprit is
isolation conclude that restricted input of
stimulus is the greatest most powerful tool.
Before
you conclude that this is just another “Bleeding
Heart Liberal” talking I hasten to add
that, Yes, there are real pathological,
certifiable, criminals in jail for which no
rehabilitation will work, but what about that
large numbers/percentage of “June Bugs
Little boys” that were there first, on
a “Plea Bargain” for smoking pot and
was kept there for violating some
administrative rules for many more years.
These prisoners are rehabilitates to be
harlots, homosexuals, brain dead, ignorant,
dysfunctional human beings, and if they were
not criminals to began with they are after the
lessons learned while in prisons!

TEACHERS MUST HAVE UNIONS BUT
DIFFERENT FROM A PURELY LABOR UNION!!
(WRITTEN 2011)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
Recently the news has been
reporting on the move by some state to
restrict the existence of what is called “Public
Unions” Or the ionization of public
employees. The “Teachers Unions” have not been
exempt from this attack. (Pedro Noguera
and Michelle Fine, Attack -- Here's How We Can
Save Them, The Nation, April 29, 2011)
Teachers unions are important and
must be supported and preserved. But these
unions are not a perfect match when joining
the Lab or unions such the AFLCIO. This
is because the major leverage of the labor is
the threat of strike for higher pay and better
working conditions to make the companies take
to negations.
In addition, since the product of
this profession is educated children there
must be the proof that present Public
Education has some record of proven success.
Pedeo reports, “In this atmosphere of
hostility to public schools and teachers, it
has become nearly impossible to have a
rational discussion among educators, parents,
advocates, youth and policy-makers about what
should be done . . . that
removing ineffective teachers is an
excessively slow and arduous process, though
unions are often blamed when administrators
have failed to document problems
systematically.”
How can a teacher’s union threat
en the Public with the quality and amount of
teaching when this very threat demonstrates
the basic moral caliber of this instructor to
teach children. In other words, a Teachers
Unions cannot easily get away with sayings in
negations, “If you don’t give me a
higher pay I will not teach your child at the
highest level I can!” That would be
unconscionable, unacceptable and counter
productive. In fact, any teacher who made this
threat collective or individually would be
admitting that they are not doing the best
they can to teach and should be fired and
jailed! Contrary to capitalist thinking,
Charter and Private For Profit Schools are not
the answer. (http://www.uft.org/issues/charter-schools)
The answer lies soundly in conscience,
commitment, and morality to the education of
all children! (Rachel

Further, if the teachers Unions
took the position that investment in education
was their position in protection of children
and the caliber of people who would choose
teaching as a profession, this would have some
what less a threat than the stoppage of work.
Some governors have slashed school
aid while refusing to comply with a
court-mandated formula for school funding
equity. They have become right-wing heroes by
demonizing teachers, lambasting unions,
challenging tenure rights and introducing a
crude teacher-evaluation process based on
student test scores.
So you
see that teacher’s unions have an
uncomfortable position laying between vying
for children rights regardless and for their
personal financial health as the seemly
selfish goal to balance.
