Is it really the case that the government has entrusted our privacy to the good judgment of private analysts? Are there really no code-based controls for assuring that specific surveillance is specifically justified? And what is the technology for assuring that rogues paid by our government can’t use data collected by our government for purposes... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...

The odds of a charter school teacher leaving the profession versus staying in the same school were 130 percent greater than those of a traditional public school teacher. Similarly, the odds of a charter... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...
The most common reason given by charter school teachers for voluntarily leaving the teaching profession was that they were dissatisfied with the school. Furthermore, 47 percent of charter school teachers who voluntarily switched to different schools did so because they were dissatisfied with either the workplace conditions or administrator support... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...
Research shows that charter schools tend to have higher rates of teacher turnover than other public schools. Some of the reasons for this relatively high turnover — lower salaries and benefits, inadequate professional development and support, and a feeling of isolation — are the same reasons why many of these charter school teachers decided to... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...
In addition, charter school teachers were more likely to be part time and less likely to have an education degree or state certification of any type. The odds of an uncertified teacher leaving the profession were 200 percent greater than those of certified teachers, and part-time teachers were found to be twice as likely to leave teaching as their... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...

And a 2007 study by Western Michigan University researchers found younger teachers were significantly more likely to leave charter... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...
What free-market economists are not telling us is that the politics they want to get rid of are none other than those of democracy itself. When they say we need to insulate economic policies from politics, they are in effect advocating the castration of democracy. - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...

I’m not sure how much the endless drum-banging about the IRS dumbassery has to do with this fall off the diving board, and I’m fairly certain that the general public wouldn’t care if the president lit journalists on fire on the South Lawn every Thursday evening for the benefit of the tourist trade. But I’m fairly sure that he’s getting hung for a... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...

For the last three decades many Americans have puzzled over a system that gives an R to a movie in which a women is carved up by a chainsaw and an NC-17 to one that shows a woman sexually pleasured. From such ratings one might conclude that sexual violence against women is OK for American teenagers to see, but that they must be 18 to see... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...

Whether we help change systems of privilege depends on how we handle the belief that nothing we can do makes a difference, that the system is too big and powerful for us to affect. The complaint is valid if we look at society as a whole, because we aren’t going to change it in our lifetime. But if changing the entire system through our own efforts... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...

"Bank of America’s mortgage servicing unit systematically lied to homeowners, fraudulently denied loan modifications, and paid their staff bonuses for deliberately pushing people into foreclosure: Yes, these allegations were suspected by any homeowner who ever had to deal with the bank to try to get a loan modification – but now they come from six former employees and one contractor, whose sworn statements were added last week to a civil lawsuit filed in federal court in Massachusetts."

"“Bank of America’s practice is to string homeowners along with no apparent intention of providing the permanent loan modifications it promises,” said Erika Brown, one of the former employees. The damning evidence would spur a series of criminal investigations of BofA executives, if we still had a rule of law in this country for Wall Street banks."

If there are no criminal charges brought then justice is truly dead. The pain, suffering and death these policies caused is literally immeasurable, since we can't get to all the evidence.
