I was curious about the onset of Jack Levine in the SDHC Parent Press
http://www.4generationsinstitute.org/
Health Care Access is Essential, one would find:
....... "Please visit the Voices for America's Children site at www.voices.org and click on the Speak Up section of the site. .........
JACK LEVINE,
founder,
4Generations Institute,
Tallahassee "
If one follows the www.voices.org link, one can find Speak Out but not Speak Up.
Today's headline is:
SCHIP Secured, Progress Denied
On December 19 Congress completed action a stop-gap measure to continue the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) through March 2009, Voices for America’s Children hailed the extension of the vital program for children’s health care, but expressed outrage that that lack of an authorization halts the drive to provide coverage to more of the nation’s nine million uninsured children.

Image More Important Than Substance?
This article may hold information that is common to our public school education systems. For those who believe that the main goal of the system is to maintain an image of competence at the cost of achieving competence, this article fits the template.
Two teachers with apparent laudable backgrounds appear to be trying to improve their system. It appears they have the necessary experience to comprehend what changes were needed that would be beneficial.
For their efforts, they are banned.
"Traube said the district isn’t interested in public constructive criticism.
“I think its obvious what they want is a very cooperative relationship between anyone representing teachers,” he said. “They don’t want anyone to be adversarial in this district”.
"Chester, who is retired from a career in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has taught for seven years. Last year, children at one of the schools she was banned from nominated her for teacher of the year, she said. She also volunteered to start a penmanship club at one of the schools."
"Teaching is what she loves, Chester said. But, she said, “I would like the cloud of fear that people who work for this district are under to go away.”"
This is not the first time I have heard of a "cloud of fear" within a public school system.
