Here's Why Learning Another Language Should Be Compulsory In Every School
Aeon | alternet.org | 2018-10-14
Nothing teaches us about the world and how to think more effectively better than learning new languages. | In the 1960s, in our public schools in California along the border with Mexico, Spanish language-learning was a requirement, beginning in sixth grade. I couldn't wait to get to sixth grade to start learning Spanish. Our school was more than 50 per cent Mexican-Americans, and I was keen to understand them as they switched back and forth from fluent English to fluent. . .

Pacifica Radio Network Stands with Wikileaks and Julian Assange
Repost | indybay.org | 2018-10-14
Pacifica passed a resolution to defend Julian Assange who is the founder of Wikileaks. "The mainstream media has basically been silent about the harassment of Julian Assange and the attempt to imprison him. And even some so-called progressive outlets have been silent.
