Duke U Press Publishes Study by Obama's Mama

Submitted by Cathy Davidson on May 04, 2009, 02:03 PM
It hasn't been very often, if ever, in American history that the mother of the President of the United States was a scholar and an academic.  Congratulations to Duke University Press for publishing Against the Odds:  Village Industry in Indonesia, by the late S. Ann Dunham.  Duke U Press Editorial Director Ken Wissoker notes:  ?It is a great privilege for Duke University Press to be publishing this remarkable work by Ann Dunham.  Her global perspective and obvious respect for other people?s intelligence and self-direction is a model we all can learn from. Her children clearly have!?

The Biggest School Bully

Submitted by papertalker on Apr 14, 2009, 05:04 PM
I am posting this essay because, written a year or so after Columbine, it rings true now more than ever.

As violence erupts, kids are left to their own devices-- the ones with the guns and the pent-up anger lash out for ?attention? and ?take control? because they?ve been helpless victims of bullying or familial abuse. The other kids stand by like proverbial deer frozen in the headlights. Neither their peers nor adults at school can be trusted. The code of silence is not just for kids. It's school culture?s state of the art. Administrations come down hard with the lid when violence erupts, but there is no desire to dig for the root causes. Why? Because down deep they know that life at their school is a big part of the problem.
