D.C. Chancellor Gains Ground With Aggressive Agenda Washington, D.C., Public Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee is pushing forward with her efforts to turn around the local school system. Those efforts have thrust Rhee's agenda onto a national stage, as educators across the country grapple with struggling school districts. Rhee discusses her work, which includes recently narrowing an achievement gap between white and minority students. NPRPICTURES: Shoreham students dress to impress PUPILS at a Shoreham school have celebrated the end of term in style. More than 50 teenagers in year 11 at Shoreham College dressed to impress for their end-of-school celebrations and arrived in some unusual transport including a helicopter, fire engine and motorbike cavalcade. Topix.netSenate Passes Hate Crimes Amendment Lacking Free Speech And Association Protections WASHINGTON - The Senate late Thursday passed an amendment as part of the Department of Defense Authorization bill that would give the federal government new authority to prosecute certain violent acts based on race, color, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability. However, the Senate version of the hate crimes bill lacks the strong protections for speech and association included in legislation passed by the House of Representatives in April. The American Civil Liberties Union believes that without the speech and association protections included in the House bill, the Senate hate crimes legislation could have a chilling effect on constitutionally protected speech and membership. aclu.orgDHS Continues State And Local Immigration Enforcement Program Without Meaningful Changes WASHINGTON - After a congressional request and multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, including one from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a new standardized Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that it will use in its expanded 287(g) program granting state and local law enforcement agencies federal immigration enforcement authority. The 287(g) program has led to serious civil rights abuses and public safety concerns, and according to an analysis by the ACLU, the changes in the new MOA do nothing to solve these problems. aclu.orgElla Baker Fights for Justice Ella Baker was not deterred from the male dominated civil rights movement. Although she worked side-by-side with such notables as Martin Luther King Jr. and Bayard Rustin, she often found that her contributions and abilities were overlooked because she was a woman. Despite this disappointing reality, Ella Baker refused to end her fight for justice until her death. Image courtesy of the Library of Congress. AboutObama tackles racism in NAACP speech Barack Obama, US president, told the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that Americans must keep fighting to eradicate bigotry, racism and discrimination and acknowledged civil rights pioneers for making his own election possible FTTesting Strategies Also Helped Boost D.C. Students` Scores When Mayor Adrian M. Fenty announced the continued growth of standardized test scores for District students Monday, he hailed it as 'powerful evidence of the incredible work being done by teachers, principals and most importantly our students.' Washington PostTheatrics and Hypocrisy at Sotomayor Hearings Protesters shouting down senators and carrying bloody dolls at Judge Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearings ['The Scene: Culture Wars Intrude on a Day of Cordiality,' front page, July 14] undermine civil efforts to find common ground on reducing abortions. While culture-war theatrics provide the media with sensational images, they do nothing to support pregnant women. The time is ripe to end our nation's divisive abortion battles. President Obama has emphasized respectful dialogue and supports efforts to help women avoid the tragedy of abortion. Pro-life Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and pro-choice Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) are sponsoring legislation in the House with the goal of reducing the number of abortions. Washington PostJustice Department Blocks Discriminatory Voting Practices In Georgia WASHINGTON - A coalition of voting rights groups and attorneys today praised a decision by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to block the use of flawed and racially discriminatory voter registration practices by Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel. In a letter sent this past Friday from Civil Rights Division Acting Assistant Attorney General Loretta King to Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker, the DOJ informed the state that it had failed to establish that two new voter verification procedures did not have a discriminatory effect on minority voters. Under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, Georgia is required to submit new voting procedures for federal review before they are implemented. aclu.orgACLU Challenges Patents On Breast Cancer Genes NEW YORK - The American Civil Liberties Union and the Public Patent Foundation, a not-for-profit organization affiliated with Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (PUBPAT), filed a lawsuit today charging that patents on two human genes associated with breast and ovarian cancer stifle research that could lead to cures and limit women's options regarding their medical care. Mutations along the genes, known as BRCA1 and BRCA2, are responsible for most cases of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. The lawsuit argues that the patents on these genes are unconstitutional and invalid. aclu.org1 2 |
