Don't Blame Trump, DeVos, or Unions for Growing Opposition to Charter Schools
Shawgi Tell | dissidentvoice.org | 2019-06-10
While billionaires Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos can take some of the "blame" for an uptick in broad opposition to the nation's 7,000 non-profit and for-profit charter schools, resistance to privately-operated charter schools has been building for nearly three decades. Opposition to segregated, test-obsessed, and unaccountable charter schools that fleece the public treasury is not …

Nigeria's Borno State in need of teachers amid Boko Haram insurgency

Trump core exposed: Lies & insults 'tell it like it is'
Robert S. Becker | nationofchange.org | 2019-06-10
Bluster boomerang on display: | Tabulating how little Trump has done for his voters' economic misery is not enough. Failure and hypocrisy don't speak for themselves when cult denial reigns: job-sucking outsourcing continues (especially in backwaters), domestic factory growth sags, better paying jobs are coastal and/or in tech, tax reform is a joke, and bonehead tariffs inflate prices on basics the bottom 50% must buy. No infrastructure, no job training, no national educational push — surprise! Billionaires flourish while Trump families grit their teeth, still dreaming a cruel hustler's jingoism,…

Adjunct professors are the minimum-wage temp workers of academia. Underpaid, overworked, with no benefits and no job security, their numbers have ballooned in recent decades.
