The Southern Education Foundation has released a new report that explodes the myth that charters and vouchers increase opportunity for students of color and low-income students. Far from it. Privatization via charters and vouchers has intensified racial segregation and is reversing the Brown Decision of 1954. The disreputable concept of “separate but equal” is returning under the guise of “school choice.”

PRIVATE SCHOOL SEGREGATION: OLD NEWS, NEW PITCH
State-funded “separate but unequal” education billed as opportunity for underrepresented
MARCH 29, 2016 – The Southern Education Foundation (SEF), an advocate for equity in education, releases Race & Ethnicity in a New Era of Public Funding of Private Schools: Private School Enrollment in the South and the Nation. This report explores the phenomenon of publicly funded private school segregation occurring more than 60 years after the Brown v. Board of Education verdict declared segregated public schools unconstitutional. It closely examines racial demographics in contemporary private schools and finds that they remain segregated, with white students significantly overrepresented as compared to public school populations.
Currently, 19 states have programs that provide public funding to support children’s attendance in private schools. Last year alone, approximately $1 billion was diverted to private schools from state treasuries across the country, spreading thinner already limited resources. Though such state initiatives exist in each region of the nation, they are especially concentrated in the South.
“The prevailing message is that these voucher and neo-voucher tax credit scholarship programs offer better or more opportunities to students of color and low-income students…the data does not reflect that story,” said Dr. Kent McGuire, president of SEF. In reality, it perpetuates a trend of financially supporting private schools that as a whole remain overwhelming white – no less than 75 percent of all white students in private schools attend schools where 90 percent or more of the student body is white. As segregation persists in private schools, the demographics of public schools shift toward an increasingly diverse student body – fertile ground for the reemergence of a “separate but unequal” education system.
Using data from the National Center for Education Statistics from 1998 and 2012, this brief and the accompanying Southern state profiles review several indicators of racial demographics and segregation in public and private schools including: overrepresentation of white students, disproportionate white enrollment rates, virtual segregation (90% or more white student population), and virtual exclusion of students of color. All of which suggest that segregation persists in private schools across the country and especially in the South.
The six Deep South states, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina, which resisted the constitutional mandate for school desegregation the longest are the worst offenders in the nation by far – demonstrating that state support of private schooling does not appear to have led to greater access for students of color. These six states had a considerably higher rate of overrepresentation among white students in private schools than any other section or region in 2012. Five of the six states were at the top of the state rankings in 2012 and the sixth, Alabama, was ranked tenth.
Despite laws against segregation and in contrast to public schools, private schools with and without public funding continue to select which students they will admit. As long as the private school adopts a non-discriminatory policy and publicly declares that they do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin they are eligible to receive public funds in states with programs that allow for the shifting of funds to private institutions. However, enrollment patterns show that this measure primarily gives only lip service to a commitment to diversity. Despite these trends, black students can still often be found on promotional materials produced by private schools and scholarship organizations. This leaves the false impression that primarily students of color are served by such voucher initiatives and supports the oft-championed messaging that greater access to private institutions is available for students of color, which is often not the case.
The study’s findings and analysis are reminiscent of the overall patterns and conditions of attendance in private schools in the South that the authors of The Schools That Fear Built found in 1976 in the aftermath of massive resistance to desegregation: “These are schools for whites. The common thread that runs through them all, Christian, secular, or otherwise, is that they provide white ground to which blacks are admitted only on the school’s terms if at all.” This study suggests that today’s “common thread” also encompasses the exclusion of Hispanic and Native American students, as well as African American students.
“Because we must preserve the fundamental democratic principle that each child in this nation should have an opportunity for a good education, schools funded by tax dollars – be they private or public – should not be allowed to pick and choose only the students they wish to admit and educate. We know from this report the consequences: most unregulated private schools, left on their own in the South and the nation, have failed to admit any significant number of students of color,” said Steve Suitts, adjunct lecturer of Emory University who developed and wrote the report while serving at the Southern Education Foundation in his last year as a senior fellow. The prospect for better academic opportunity for students sounds attractive but in reality it manifests into an age-old practice that perpetuates a racial divide between children before they ever even learn their ABCs. Currently, these initiatives show no sign of slowing and in many cases are on the upswing. Now more than ever, our scarce public resources should be used to invest in public schools that operate under an obligation to serve any and all students.

I just think it’s amusing how the ed reform has quietly abandoned their opposition to vouchers.
Was that a political deal, to keep private schools and far Right lawmakers on board with the agenda?
It sure looks like one to me. One more “principled position” goes under the ‘ol agenda bus. Next stop-privatization!
Can we tote up the hours the public employees in these state legislatures have devoted to pushing privatization schemes as compared to working on behalf of the unfashionable public sector schools? Aren’t they supposed to have some interest in existing public systems when they accept pay for these jobs?
It’s as if the entire staff of Social Security decided to spend all their time promoting IRA’s, based on their personal preference for private systems.
I have also seen the reverse, with schools located in impoverished neighborhoods containing 99 to 100% minority populations. These charter schools are the most likely to be closed when the test scores remain low.
Cannot the state leadership notice the correlation or is this an intentional effort to get around discrimination laws and promote segregation?
Try as they may to blur the “debate” about what constitutes truth and myth,
the marketing managers for the status quo, remain “heap big smoke but no fire”.
“Last year alone, approximately $1 billion was diverted to private schools from state treasuries across the country…”
$1 billion diverted from $500 billion collected…
Ever since the civil rights laws that imposed integration on the South, there has been an explosion of “Christian Academies.” These schools are private, selective and mostly white. Now that charters and vouchers have entered the scene, they can apply for public funds to underwrite their segregation, and nobody appears to question how wrong this is. I think using public funds used to enhance segregation should be illegal and should be challenged in the courts.
Vouchers were challenged in the courts in NC and were upheld. I assume the fine line was that as long as the state was still providing for public schools, that vouchers were a separate issue. But of course, it’s more like betting against your own efforts when you do that as a state.
Ohio public school superintendents are raising issues with the Common Core tests. They don’t align with some of the 50 other ed reform experiments we’re currently conducting.
There’s a huge marketing effort underway to sell these tests. Is anyone looking at substantive issues with the testing schemes, or are 150 well-connected ed reformers still “building the plane in the air” and using tens of millions of public school children as an experimental population?
These tests have obvious validity issues, because the people who have to conduct them were completely ignored when they were imposed. Can one of the ed reform orgs put some funding toward fixing the problems they created or will 100% of the budget go towards cheerleading testing and scolding parents?
http://www.jointhefuture.org/join-the-future/superintendents-challenge-test-result-validity
“Is anyone looking at substantive issues with the testing schemes. . . ?”
Well, Chiara, I’d say that I’ve been bringing up the “substantive issues” since before this blog was started (and have paid the personal price of being administratively attacked with the intent of destroying my reputation and teaching career) that Noel Wilson showed us in his never refuted nor rebutted 1997 seminal treatise: “Educational Standards and the Problem of Error” found at: http://epaa.asu.edu/ojs/article/view/577/700
Brief outline of Wilson’s “Educational Standards and the Problem of Error” and some comments of mine.
1. A description of a quality can only be partially quantified. Quantity is almost always a very small aspect of quality. It is illogical to judge/assess a whole category only by a part of the whole. The assessment is, by definition, lacking in the sense that “assessments are always of multidimensional qualities. To quantify them as unidimensional quantities (numbers or grades) is to perpetuate a fundamental logical error” (per Wilson). The teaching and learning process falls in the logical realm of aesthetics/qualities of human interactions. In attempting to quantify educational standards and standardized testing the descriptive information about said interactions is inadequate, insufficient and inferior to the point of invalidity and unacceptability.
2. A major epistemological mistake is that we attach, with great importance, the “score” of the student, not only onto the student but also, by extension, the teacher, school and district. Any description of a testing event is only a description of an interaction, that of the student and the testing device at a given time and place. The only correct logical thing that we can attempt to do is to describe that interaction (how accurately or not is a whole other story). That description cannot, by logical thought, be “assigned/attached” to the student as it cannot be a description of the student but the interaction. And this error is probably one of the most egregious “errors” that occur with standardized testing (and even the “grading” of students by a teacher).
3. Wilson identifies four “frames of reference” each with distinct assumptions (epistemological basis) about the assessment process from which the “assessor” views the interactions of the teaching and learning process: the Judge (think college professor who “knows” the students capabilities and grades them accordingly), the General Frame-think standardized testing that claims to have a “scientific” basis, the Specific Frame-think of learning by objective like computer based learning, getting a correct answer before moving on to the next screen, and the Responsive Frame-think of an apprenticeship in a trade or a medical residency program where the learner interacts with the “teacher” with constant feedback. Each category has its own sources of error and more error in the process is caused when the assessor confuses and conflates the categories.
4. Wilson elucidates the notion of “error”: “Error is predicated on a notion of perfection; to allocate error is to imply what is without error; to know error it is necessary to determine what is true. And what is true is determined by what we define as true, theoretically by the assumptions of our epistemology, practically by the events and non-events, the discourses and silences, the world of surfaces and their interactions and interpretations; in short, the practices that permeate the field. . . Error is the uncertainty dimension of the statement; error is the band within which chaos reigns, in which anything can happen. Error comprises all of those eventful circumstances which make the assessment statement less than perfectly precise, the measure less than perfectly accurate, the rank order less than perfectly stable, the standard and its measurement less than absolute, and the communication of its truth less than impeccable.”
In other words all the logical errors involved in the process render any conclusions invalid.
5. The test makers/psychometricians, through all sorts of mathematical machinations attempt to “prove” that these tests (based on standards) are valid-errorless or supposedly at least with minimal error [they aren’t]. Wilson turns the concept of validity on its head and focuses on just how invalid the machinations and the test and results are. He is an advocate for the test taker not the test maker. In doing so he identifies thirteen sources of “error”, any one of which renders the test making/giving/disseminating of results invalid. And a basic logical premise is that once something is shown to be invalid it is just that, invalid, and no amount of “fudging” by the psychometricians/test makers can alleviate that invalidity.
6. Having shown the invalidity, and therefore the unreliability, of the whole process Wilson concludes, rightly so, that any result/information gleaned from the process is “vain and illusory”. In other words start with an invalidity, end with an invalidity (except by sheer chance every once in a while, like a blind and anosmic squirrel who finds the occasional acorn, a result may be “true”) or to put in more mundane terms crap in-crap out.
7. And so what does this all mean? I’ll let Wilson have the second to last word: “So what does a test measure in our world? It measures what the person with the power to pay for the test says it measures. And the person who sets the test will name the test what the person who pays for the test wants the test to be named.”
In other words it attempts to measure “’something’ and we can specify some of the ‘errors’ in that ‘something’ but still don’t know [precisely] what the ‘something’ is.” The whole process harms many students as the social rewards for some are not available to others who “don’t make the grade (sic)” Should American public education have the function of sorting and separating students so that some may receive greater benefits than others, especially considering that the sorting and separating devices, educational standards and standardized testing, are so flawed not only in concept but in execution?
My answer is NO!!!!!
One final note with Wilson channeling Foucault and his concept of subjectivization:
“So the mark [grade/test score] becomes part of the story about yourself and with sufficient repetitions becomes true: true because those who know, those in authority, say it is true; true because the society in which you live legitimates this authority; true because your cultural habitus makes it difficult for you to perceive, conceive and integrate those aspects of your experience that contradict the story; true because in acting out your story, which now includes the mark and its meaning, the social truth that created it is confirmed; true because if your mark is high you are consistently rewarded, so that your voice becomes a voice of authority in the power-knowledge discourses that reproduce the structure that helped to produce you; true because if your mark is low your voice becomes muted and confirms your lower position in the social hierarchy; true finally because that success or failure confirms that mark that implicitly predicted the now self-evident consequences. And so the circle is complete.”
In other words students “internalize” what those “marks” (grades/test scores) mean, and since the vast majority of the students have not developed the mental skills to counteract what the “authorities” say, they accept as “natural and normal” that “story/description” of them. Although paradoxical in a sense, the “I’m an “A” student” is almost as harmful as “I’m an ‘F’ student” in hindering students becoming independent, critical and free thinkers. And having independent, critical and free thinkers is a threat to the current socio-economic structure of society.
Chaira, other 50 experiments. Lol.
What I’ve noticed is public schools are creating lenses to put a positive spin on what they have to perpetuate and purvey with reform experiments. Covey “Leader In Me”schools and so forth. I also notice a gazillion online virtual communities for teacher leaders. I guess it’s best to make Lemonade when given lemons, but why all the lemons (experiments) and who benefits, ultimately?
The word “charter” appears exactly one time in the SEF’s 80-page report, in a quotation from a separate study. It is wholly about the effects of public funding for children to attend private schools–vouchers.
Your headline and summary should be revised to correct the errors.

Put Legislature or privatization into the search field and be prepared to LEARN what no media is explaining…the take-over of our INSTITUTION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION, and read essays like this one:

Can you picture America when there is no route to economic equality, because the masses of the people are ignorant and unskilled?
Or this one Education in Crisis: The Threat of Privatization Around the World
That’s right —itit ain’t just here!
The New World Order knows that gaining control of the schools gets ’em young! Look at what is afoot in Britain: British Teachers Fight Privatization Plan The Minister of Education Nicky Morgan has proposed turning all British schools into “academies,” akin to our charter schools. She has decided that removing all schools from local control will improve them. The British National Union of Teachers has threatened a one-day striketo protest this step towards mass privatization.

States without charter caps need to be asked every day what the long range plan is.

You are talking in a room, a space where people talk, parents talk, all people, not just teachers.
It is wonderful, that you are reaching out to this place where teachers an parents go to talk and figure our what is happening, que pasa. You speak well enough to expose the injustice you see in front of your eyes.
You identify the difficulty that parents face if they want —as parents have always wanted , a decent education.
Your English offers the truth– el verdad– and you clearly describe the injustice to your child kid.
I feel for your dilemma. When the charter school is the only game in town, what can a parent do.
They made sure public schools failed. The school systems needed investment to handle the kids of today and offer an education which will give them a road to income equality… a FUTURE!
THE SCHOOLS NEEDED FUNDS NOT AUSTERITY, like our bridges and roads do… and theY will fail too!
… and then, BIG COMPANIES WILL BUY maintenance, WHAT WE MUST HAVE will be contracted to big PRIVATE companies AND YOU AND I WILL pay more, much, much more, for their upkeep.
Our governments have been starved so that nothing a middle income family needs will be available…and the schools were the easiest place to invent failure.
It is a plan.
And the answer to you last question, is Black and green.
Black as they are run by sociopaths who care only about themselves,–
…. and green. because of the money they rob from the people, our tax-paying citizens who only want clean air and water, good schools, and basic services for health…like they have in other modern nations where citizens are protected by rules and laws.

I am in total agreement with much of what you say, and my cmy comment was A COMPLIMENT TO YOU, because you made your point, perhaps without the erudition that native speakers have.

In fact, I will cut an d paste it on this page, because it is THESE PEOPLE who are creating the chaos in the schools, and everywhere.
I do not know how you or I , or any one, Mr Castillo, can show these egotistical power-mongers, the error of their ways, nor do I believe tha we can ‘encorage’ those who see the INJUSTICE to behave in rational ways.
We who know the real history are being lost, and as our younger citizens take over, they are clueless as to Lincoln, FDR. MLK, JFK or anyone, as they listen only to the voice in their heads.
Tv has bred fighters, an ignorant population, who only know how to battle.
I feel sad at the mess they made of our schools.
I was born in 1941 when schools worked.
I taught in NY public schools from 1963 through 1998, when I was a successful and celebrated teacher… and set out the door, so the charlatans could come in and murder learning.
, I raised my kids in the seventies and eighties when schools worked.
I have witnessed the end of everything.
As to colors, I am a photographer and a painter and I feel that colors ‘symbolize,’ things… the color of money is what is behind our tragedy….BECAUSE money busy one thing…ACCESS, and these KINGS And barons who have the wealth that were once the provenance of NATIONS, are total total sociopaths (as that article I linked describes).
Money is what they use to do their evil… and they darken our nations’ future.
My words, describing my IDEA at the end, were METAPHORS, 9not word games) for I do not bandy words thoughtlessly.
YOU misread my meaning, but that is ok. I do no t’play games’ with words, so go and read my words. You might like BAMBOOZLE THEM.

THIS is the personality who runs the show in the microcosm that is a school bureaucracy or a legislature. We see it at its epitome, in the man who would be king of this nation… and make no mistake… if that psychopath gets to be president, it is the end, as surely as it was the end of LAUSD when Eli Boad decided to privatize education.

It was written by Oped member, John W. Whitehead — an attorney and author who has written, debated and practiced widely in the area of constitutional law and human rights.
Whitehead’s aggressive, pioneering approach to civil liberties has earned him numerous accolades and accomplishments, including the Hungarian Medal of Freedom. His concern for the persecuted and oppressed led him, in 1982, to establish The Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties and human rights organization in Charlottesville, Va. Whitehead serves as the Institute’s president and spokesperson. His thought-provoking commentaries call people to action and address a wide range of contemporary issues from faith to politics and television to constitutional rights. He is also a frequent commentator on a variety of issues in the national media, as well as the editor of the award-winning pop culture magazine, Gadfly. Whitehead’s book A Government of Wolves will be published in June 2013.

From Democracy to Pathocracy: The Rise of the Political Psychopath
“Politicians are more likely than people in the general population to be sociopaths. I think you would find no expert in the field of sociopathy/psychopathy/antisocial personality disorder who would dispute this… That a small minority of human beings literally have no conscience was and is a bitter pill for our society to swallow — but it does explain a great many things, shamelessly deceitful political behavior being one.”–Dr. Martha Stout, clinical psychologist and former instructor at Harvard Medical School
Twenty years ago, a newspaper headline asked the question: “What’s the difference between a politician and a psychopath?”
The answer, then and now, remains the same: NONE!
There is no difference between psychopaths and politicians.
Nor is there much of a difference between the havoc wreaked on innocent lives by uncaring, unfeeling, selfish, irresponsible, parasitic criminals and elected officials who lie to their constituents, trade political favors for campaign contributions, turn a blind eye to the wishes of the electorate, cheat taxpayers out of hard-earned dollars, favor the corporate elite, entrench the military industrial complex, and spare little thought for the impact their thoughtless actions and hastily passed legislation might have on defenseless citizens.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/06/07/congressmen-come-and-go-but-corruption-is-here-to-stay.html
Psychopaths and politicians both have a tendency to be selfish, callous, remorseless users of others, irresponsible, pathological liars, glib, con artists, lacking in remorse and shallow.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/q-whats-the-difference-between-a-politician-and-a-psychopath-a-none-1361687.html
Charismatic politicians, like criminal psychopaths, exhibit a failure to accept responsibility for their actions, have a high sense of self-worth, are chronically unstable, have socially deviant lifestyle, need constant stimulation, have parasitic lifestyles and possess unrealistic goals.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re talking about Democrats or Republicans.
Political psychopaths are all largely cut from the same pathological cloth, brimming with seemingly easy charm and boasting calculating minds. Such leaders eventually create pathocracies–totalitarian societies bent on power, control, and destruction of both freedom in general and those who exercise their freedoms.
Once psychopaths gain power, the result is usually some form of totalitarian government or a pathocracy. “At that point, the government operates against the interests of its own people except for favoring certain groups,” author James G. Long notes. “We are currently witnessing deliberate polarizations of American citizens, illegal actions, and massive and needless acquisition of debt.
This is typical of psychopathic systems, and very similar things happened in the Soviet Union as it overextended and collapsed.”
http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/08/the_road_to_pathocracy.html
In other words, electing a psychopath to public office is tantamount to national hara-kiri, the ritualized act of self-annihilation, self-destruction and suicide. It signals the demise of democratic government and lays the groundwork for a totalitarian regime that is legalistic, militaristic, inflexible, intolerant and inhuman.
So why do we keep doing it over and over again?
There’s no shortage of dire warnings about the devastation that could be wrought if any one of the current crop of candidates running for the White House gets elected. Yet where the doomsayers go wrong is by ignoring the damage that has already been inflicted on our nation and its citizens by a psychopathic government.
According to investigative journalist Zack Beauchamp, “In 2012, a group of psychologists evaluated every President from Washington to Bush II using ‘psychopathy trait estimates derived from personality data completed by historical experts on each president.’ They found that presidents tended to have the psychopath’s characteristic fearlessness and low anxiety levels — traits that appear to help Presidents, but also might cause them to make reckless decisions that hurt other people’s lives.”
http://healthland.time.com/2012/09/11/psychopathic-traits-what-successful-presidents-have-in-common/
The willingness to prioritize power above all else, including the welfare of their fellow human beings, ruthlessness, callousness and an utter lack of conscience are among the defining traits of the sociopath.
https://newrepublic.com/article/111087/wisdom-of-psychopaths-kevin-dutton
When our own government no longer sees us as human beings with dignity and worth but as things to be manipulated, maneuvered, mined for data, manhandled by police, conned into believing it has our best interests at heart, mistreated, jailed if we dare step out of line, and then punished unjustly without remorse–all the while refusing to own up to its failings–we are no longer operating under a constitutional republic.
Instead, as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People,
http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-America-War-American-People/dp/1590793099
what we are experiencing is a pathocracy: tyranny at the hands of a psychopathic government, which “operates against the interests of its own people except for favoring certain groups.”
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/08/the_road_to_pathocracy.html
Worse, psychopathology is not confined to those in high positions of government. It can spread like a virus among the populace. As an academic study into pathocracy concluded, “[T]yranny does not flourish because perpetuators are helpless and ignorant of their actions. It flourishes because they actively identify with those who promote vicious acts as virtuous.”
People don’t simply line up and salute. It is through one’s own personal identification with a given leader, party or social order that they become agents of good or evil.
Much depends on how leaders “cultivate a sense of identification with their followers,” says Professor Alex Haslam.
http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/you-are-as-evil-as-your-social-network-alexander-haslam-on-what-the-prison-experiment-got-wrong
“I mean one pretty obvious thing is that leaders talk about ‘we’ rather than ‘I,’ and actually what leadership is about is cultivating this sense of shared identity about ‘we-ness’ and then getting people to want to act in terms of that ‘we-ness,’ to promote our collective interests. . . . [We] is the single word that has increased in the inaugural addresses over the last century . . . and the other one is ‘America.'”
The goal of the modern corporate state is obvious: to promote, cultivate, and embed a sense of shared identification among its citizens. To this end, “we the people” have become “we the police state.”
We are fast becoming slaves in thrall to a faceless, nameless, bureaucratic totalitarian government machine that relentlessly erodes our freedoms through countless laws, statutes, and prohibitions.
Any resistance to such regimes depends on the strength of opinions in the minds of those who choose to fight back. What this means is that we the citizenry must be very careful that we are not manipulated into marching in lockstep with an oppressive regime.
Writing for ThinkProgress, Beauchamp suggests that “one of the best cures to bad leaders may very well be political democracy.”
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/01/09/3140081/bridge-sociopathy/
He advocates for the media holding politicians accountable for their actions and the actions of their staff. While psychopaths may not care about how their actions harm other people, notes Beauchamp, “they very much do care about being able to hold on to their positions of power. A system that actually holds people accountable to the broader conscience of society may be one of the best ways to keep conscienceless people in check.”
That said, if we allow the ballot box to become our only means of pushing back against the police state, the battle is already lost.
Resistance will require a citizenry willing to be active at the local level.
If you wait to act until the SWAT team is crashing through your door, until your name is placed on a terror watch list, until you are reported for such outlawed activities as collecting rainwater or letting your children play outside unsupervised, then it will be too late.
This much I know: we are not faceless numbers. We are not cogs in the machine. We are not slaves.
We are human beings, and for the moment, we have the opportunity to remain free–that is, if we tirelessly advocate for our rights and resist at every turn attempts by the government to place us in chains.
The Founders understood that our freedoms do not flow from the government. They were not given to us only to be taken away by the will of the State. They are inherently ours. In the same way, the government’s appointed purpose is not to threaten or undermine our freedoms, but to safeguard them.
Until we can get back to this way of thinking, until we can remind our fellow Americans what it really means to be a free American, and until we can learn to stand our ground in the face of threats to those freedoms and encourage our fellow citizens to stop being cogs in the machine, we will continue to be treated like slaves in thrall to a bureaucratic police state run by political psychopaths.

Nice to meet Ms . Lion .
Mr Castillo,
You have had a very hard time. I see you have such a good soul, and I pray that you find your way. You are obviously very intelligent.
Here is the strange thing… my father’s grandfather was Emilio Pedro Cordero. He emigrated to Cuba from Spain and fought in the Spanish American war. He was a hero, carrying messages in his wooden leg. After the war, Jose Marti asked him to be Secretary of State. He declined and came to American where he made cigars using tobacco from the plantations he now owned in Cuba. His company was called MI HOGAR.
He became very rich and never returned to Cuba… which a good thing, or my grandmother would not have been born here, and I would never have been born.
So, we have Cuba in common…so very strange. I used to be able to read and write in Spanish, but it is all gone. Your English, is much better than my Spanish. When I was little I understood my Russian grandparents, too. Lost that, too.
Buen suerte, amigo.
Susan

Tu ingels is muy mejor que my español.
Soy vieja, and will be 75 years old this year, which may account for the ‘wisdom’ you see.
In this teacher’s room, where PARENTS & TEACHERS and ordinary FOLKD come to discuss learning and EDUCATION, we all stand-up for children. I am hardly alone.
At this site, I speak as a teacher and a parent (y una abuela).
Aqui, and at OPED NEWS I write about one thing —un cosa solamente — what is happening in our culture.
That is a BIG topic. I have been writing about the MEDIA and what it is doing to our people, our kids, for decades now. It is a subject that I studied in college.
Here, at Diane’s site, I talk MOSTLY about education and the events in America that effect our children and citizens. I have not yet begun my blog at WordPress, where you already went. I will speak there, just not now when I am so busy.
I am the education journalist at Oped, but I post and comment on many subjects there, too, including science.
http://www.opednews.com/author/series/author40790.html
You might like that site. Each day you can click on interesting headlines and learn about the things that matter to the people like me, who post there.
It is not a social media blog, but NEITHER IS THIS BLOG, although it is a vey social place. People do to Oped News, to talk about important topics.
Comments can get very long, and heated, but no bad talk is allowed, and all people must say things that can be proven by a link!
There is also a DIARY tool.
People can write a journal of why they write, or why they feel as the do about things… but, Oped is not a SOCIAL MEDIA place where there are no rules.
it is not like Facebook ,or twitter.
TRUTH is the guiding principle of all of us who write there. Robert Reich writes there…. you should google him!
It is clear that you are very intelligent. You read books, and refer to them.
Señor, that is called ‘literary’ reference. The only people who talk about a book son gentes inteligente, que leen.
“Using a stone against Goliath” is a metaphor which you used.
Smart people use metaphors.
You are smart.
Your point is that people standup against injustice and they can win.
You call me “a Lion”. Hee, ehe, or LOL!
Robert Rendo says I am “Diana on the hunt.”LOL. tambien!
My grandfather was named LEO. My middle name is Lee.
Me llama Mrs Schwartz, but you may call me Susanna, or Susan.
I am not a hunter, just an old lady con un lapiz, or better still, a computer.
I am not sure what it is in my words that people see, but it appears that many know that I fight injustice. If you knew MY story, you would know why.
I did not have to escape on a boat with 40 people, but escape I did.
I am about to get very busy. My niñeta is an actress in Texas, and my husband and I need to pack and prepare for that trip. Also, I have several writing projects and assignments.
Also, I am competing in photography competitions.
I do not have a site were my photos can be seen, so I am creating one.
THAT TAKES MUCH TIME… because I need to choose among 100,000 photos, of which 1000 are very lovely.
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you kind words. There is another person —here at this site, Her sign is ‘Mpow,” and she writes o tell me of the spiritual nature and wisdom in my writing. I am so happy to meet such spiritual people, hermanas y hermanos de Dios.
It is always astonishing to me when kindred spirits (or as you say “birds of a feather,’ greet me.
I will publish some of my bird photos at my Facebook page, which contains NO personal photos, but has only my writing and things that I discover in media that interests me.
So if you go there, you can see my totem. I live among 40 varieties which I feed, and thus hawks and sparrows fly here, an d wrens and robins nest on my doorstep, unafraid of my presence. There is a raven, whom I named “Nevermore,’ who follows me around my acre of land in NY, talking got me from high the 80 foot oaks.
If you wish to communicate with me or to say something personal that is not about education, —— it would be best, if you do that at Oped news.
http://www.opednews.com/author/quicklinks/author40790.html
There is a blue button on my author’s page, at the top, which says “send a message.”
One last thing. This is not a criticism, just a way for YOU to HELP ME, to read the interesting things that YOU say!
Please notice that I make Spaces. Hit the RETUNR/ENTER key!!
I also, use Punctuation and CAPITAL letters whenever I begin a NEW thought/sentence.
THIS, Señor, makes it easy for YOU to read what I say.
I don’t do that to show off.
Spelling is not a problem. You use good words, and I get what you mean to say.
I can usually figure out what a word means, but Señor, if you choose to write to me, it is HARD FOR ME to comprehend what you are saying if it runs on and on and on.
Me gusta to meet you, Señor
PS, Quiero que tu halla (find) una buen mujer que vea quien tu eres.
Hi susana thank you recommendation for everything.
I going to try to find a system or device that will help me make it easier for both of us and so we can put the puzzle together, and I hope I can follow our teams work and keep working together, and I’ll make sure to find the way to make it right, and I apologize for the inconvenience and I appreciate so very much your recommendations, have a good night and thank you again very much.

I’m tired always you with papers and pencil , you shuld get a horse with a machete too . Martï did . But before , the Mambises ( no ready ) to go to the blatle field , I Asume he was not mad at Maceo , not he was tired , One bullet hit José Martí . Poems versus sencillos ( simples ) boock.
