  • Breaking Bread at the Terminus of Learning

    Let this be a lesson to you students.  You are now coming to the end of another semester, arbitrarily designated as having an even number of weeks, crammed with a range of objectives that no doubt most of you have not met.  For one thing, you did not read.  But my, did one try to […]

  • The Rising Political Battle over Censorship

    The Rising Political Battle over Censorship

    In the land of the free and the home of the brave, a wave in the politically charged battle for intellectual freedom has peaked once more. Censorship threatens to silence underrepresented communities nationwide, encompassing LGBTQ+ youth, marginalized racial and ethnic groups, and many other facets of social identity. In academic spaces from coast to coast, […]

  • Charter Schools On Paper Versus Charter Schools In Reality

    Charter Schools On Paper Versus Charter Schools In Reality

    There has always been a large chasm between how charter schools operate in reality versus what is said about them on paper. Three examples: One: all charter school laws state that charter schools are public, yet there is really nothing truly public about them in practice. Simply being called public or receiving public funds does […]

  • Charter Schools Fail And Close Every Week

    Charter Schools Fail And Close Every Week

    Nonstop disinformation from charter school promoters that charter schools are amazing and successful is belied by the failure and closure of charter schools every week. Not a week goes by that we do not hear of yet another charter school failing, closing, and abandoning hundreds of parents, teachers, students, and principals. Below are many examples. […]

  • Promoting Israeli Apartheid in Canadian Schools Not Okay

    Promoting Israeli Apartheid in Canadian Schools Not Okay

    The Palestinian solidarity movement must seek to disrupt the ‘school to apartheid promotion pipeline’. It’s past time to challenge private schools indoctrinating young minds into worshiping a violent faraway state that oppresses millions. A recent visit to Canada by Israel’s minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, highlights a subject that requires far […]

  • Texas Book Ban Bills Set a Dangerous Precedent for the Narratives of Young People in Education

    Texas Book Ban Bills Set a Dangerous Precedent for the Narratives of Young People in Education

    Amid an unprecedented wave of censorship, many of our state legislators have left no mercy for LGBTQ+ Texans. Censorious legislation like House Bill 900 and Senate Bill 13 attempt to relate queer identity with sexual obscenity. The bills target educators’ expertise and diminish students’ right to read in a vitriolic attack on queer identity, and […]

  • Charter Schools Are Quintessentially and Irreversibly Private Schools by Design

    Despite endless disinformation from charter school promoters that charter schools are public schools, they differ profoundly—legally, organizationally, fiscally, and philosophically—from public schools. They are not the same. The dissimilarities are numerous by design. Calling them “public” 50 times a day does not spontaneously make charter schools public. Nor does receiving public funds automatically make charter […]

  • Charter Schools Are Not State Actors

    Eleven months ago a critical education case came before the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in North Carolina (Peltier v. Charter Day Sch., Inc., 37 F.4th 104, 116, 4th Cir. 2022). A main issue in the case pertains to the dress code at “Charter Day School” in Leland, North Carolina, specifically, whether the privately-operated […]

  • In the Eye of the Polarizing Storm(s)

    In the Eye of the Polarizing Storm(s)

    It is indeed a tale of many cities, worlds, perspectives, and then we have beliefs and morals. Add to that alternative and ulterior modes of realities, and we have a virtual Babel’s Tower of conflicting, contradicting and confusing form of “discourse,” or debate.  Never mind the Matrix angle of things! In today’s Western Culture (sic), […]
