Extractions: For Immediate Release: Monday, April 3, 2000 UAW Wins Historic NLRB Ruling Affirming Union Rights for Graduate Teaching Employees at New York University Graduate teaching assistants at New York University will be the first private school graduate assistants in the country to vote in a union election as a result of a historic NLRB ruling won by the UAW. In a precedent setting decision today, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that graduate assistants at New York University are employees, are covered under the National Labor Relations Act, and can hold a union election under the auspices of the NLRB. "We grade papers, teach courses and recitations, hold office hours, conduct research and perform administrative tasks. We are workers and we deserve the right to vote for a union and its disappointing that NYU resisted that idea at all, said NYU graduate employee Laura Tanenbaum. Tanenbaum is a teaching assistant in NYUs Expository Writing Program, part of the core undergraduate curriculum where TA's teach almost 90% of the contact hours. This historic ruling provides graduate teaching assistants with a fundamental right already held by nearly all of our nations workers - the right to decide whether to form and be represented by a union, declared UAW President Stephen P. Yokich.

Legislators Teach Real World Civics Kids Don't Know Civics Massachusetts Senator Richard Moore took a day out of his busy schedule last fall to visit junior and senior high school classrooms throughout his district. He talked to students about what it is like to be a state legislator. And he found himself fielding questions that ranged from whether he has met the president to his stance on public funding for stadiums. What would lead a legislator to devote time to such an activity? Why is it important to answer the simple questions of youngsters? Because these kids are at risk of becoming the cynical and distrustful, non-voters of tomorrow. "Today's young people," according to David Broder of the Washington Post, "take their voting rights so much for granted that they can barely be bothered to use them."

Extractions: Harnessing Technology ... The Latino Vote Every day, in towns and cities across the nation, public broadcasting stations provide content and services that help expand educational opportunities, improve civic discourse, provide access to new technologies and enfranchise local institutions to solve community problems. The public broadcasting system forms the largest community-based educational and civic institution in the nation. Through almost 700 local radio and more than 350 local television stations, public broadcasters ensure that all Americans have access to the highest quality, non-commercial, educational and cultural programming in their homes, schools and workplaces. For millions of viewers and listeners, public broadcasters provide the voice of the morning rush hour, a ticket to the symphony and a seat at a City Hall hearing. That's because our nation's public broadcasters are our neighbors, and their primary mission is service to their communities. Local stations are varied in their purposes, roles and locations depending on the community they serve. Some stations are licensed to community nonprofit organizations; some are college or university stations; some are part of statewide networks. Whatever their chosen role, the most important potential of the stations was first noted by the Carnegie Commission:

Extractions: Jim McLeod, jmcleod@attglobal.net At the ANC-2A meeting June 21st, there was a representative of DC Appleseed who talked about the School Board Referendum. His comment about the problem with ward members of the school board being more focused on their own wards and not necessarily what's best for the city as a whole, caused me to ask a couple of questions. One, when the Appleseed group studied the City Council, did they find the same problem? Two, in their review of the school board, did they go back and ask those who created it why they structured it the way they did? (A couple of years ago, I discovered that a Professor of mine from long ago, Peter Teachout, was one of the drafters of the legislation that created the school board.)

Extractions: Education Works, Prisons Dont was the call to action that attracted hundreds of concerned New Yorkers at a Harlem teach-in, sponsored by United New York Black Radical Congress, on October 27-28, 2000. The teach-in brought together students, parents, teachers, community activists, and leaders from politics, unions and religious institutions. The event marked the highpoint of an extensive campaign launched by the Black Radical Congress throughout the city in 2000 on the theme Education, Not Incarceration. Groups endorsing the teach-in and sending representatives included: the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, the Prison Moratorium Project, Women for Racial and Economic Equality, the Center for Immigrant Families, the Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, the Coalition to Repeal the Death Penalty, the New York Alliance of Black School Educators, the New Caucus of the Professional Staff Congress, the Correctional Association of New York, the Lower East Side Call for Justice, the Committee to Abolish Miseducation, the New York Metro Black Radical Congress, the City University of New York African American Network, the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, and Youth Force. On Friday night, October 27, three hundred people registered for the conference, and attended a Town Hall Forum on Education and Public Policy, held at the Thurgood Marshall Academy in Harlem. A powerful film produced and directed by Thurgood Marshall high school students was shown, depicting the widespread practices of racial profiling and harassment of youth by the New York Police Department. The film instructed young people how to protect themselves and to assert their legal rights when confronted or arrested by the police.

Extractions: The Mock Election is an excellent learning tool for students of all ages. This project is designed to instill in our students a sense of citizenship. Students participating in the Mock Election will show increased awareness in political decision making, involvement in current issues, the belief that voting is important, and the belief that social studies classes are relevant. It will also encourage students to discuss political topics with their parents. Participation and Registration The Mock Election is open to all K-12 teachers and their students in each school throughout the state. Participating schools must designate a school coordinator and then register by returning the attached registration form to Louisiana's Old State Capitol by October 2, 2000. Each teacher who registers will receive a free Mock Election Teacher's Guide containing lesson plans, classroom activities, and projects to help educate students on the candidates, the issues, and the importance of voting.

Fr. Frank Pavone Thanks Bishops For Election Guidance denounce abortion and euthanasia and teach all Catholics Daniel Reilly, Bishop of Worcester, October 2000. issue tied to the United States upcoming elections. http://www.priestsforlife.org/pressreleases/00-10-25bpsstmts.htm
Extractions: Statement by Fr. Frank Pavone, Applauding the Bishops for their Leadership on Preparation for the Elections Contact: Jerry Horn Date: October 25, 2000 Just as we have proudly highlighted the teaching of Living the Gospel of Life and Faithful Citizenship, so we also echo the statements of individual bishops including the Bishop of Rome about the critical nature of the abortion issue in relation to politics. Traveling the nation constantly, I have observed how grateful people are to hear these exhortations, and I pass that gratitude on to our bishops. At the same time, I have been disappointed by some commentators who, contrary to the bishops' documents, have tried to equate all the issues. The late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin never tolerated such a false equality. He argued rightly for linkage among the life issues, not for putting them all on the same footing. A candidate's support for Roe vs. Wade , which has unleashed a policy of abortion on demand and destroyed over 34 million children, is far worse than his or her support for capital punishment. We oppose both. But Church teaching has never put both on an equal level. The Priests for Life web site, www.priestsforlife.org, presents the full texts of Magisterium statements on abortion, as well as the lectures of Cardinal Bernardin on the proper understanding of the Consistent Ethic of Life.

Extractions: The State Board of Education needs to become a partner with school districts, not an adversary, to evolve from regulation to facilitation of public education reform.
