What he has offered is a path for open antisemitism. There are times when we have to look beyond. Let's not be Germany 1932 and if you don't think so think again.

Ask what you can do for your country." (JFK) I have vivid memories of the Vietnam War, the War on Poverty and Watergate. I can envision Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a member of the NAACP, but with all due respect, the organization is late to the charter school moratorium party. In Newark, for example, twelve former Newark Public Schools are listed for sale by the Newark Housing Authority on www.npsportfolio.com as reported by Bob Braun. Eleven more schools are rumored to be closing. State District Superintendent Cerf has gone to court to end LIFO in anticipation of a RIF in order to rid himself of more experienced (read here more expensive) teachers. I would hardly consider myself a purist, but what exactly has Clinton had to offer to remedy the plight of urban public schools other than her advocacy of high quality public charter schools?<br /><br />Abigail ShureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-44440137844387521632016-11-08T17:29:02.847-05:002016-11-08T17:29:02.847-05:00Green Party for me, too.

Lesser evil voting will always lead to more lesser evil voting - it's all the Powers That Be will allow.<br /><br />Plus, I want the Green Party over the 5% mark.Poguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899580942066122708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-41950326493585968072016-11-08T15:44:57.999-05:002016-11-08T15:44:57.999-05:00So under any circumstances trump would be worse. I...So under any circumstances trump would be worse. I'm no longer a purist. Our democracy was more valid under Lyndon Johnson or Nixon? Remember Vietnam? And how does tpp negatively affect you as a consumer? What happened to the garment industry here in NYC decades ago before nafta? This crap has been going on for a long time. Let's not act that hillarys election is a new ball game. On education we now have a movement of resistance. Hillary may not get off so easily as Obama did with NAACP and black lives matter taking stands on charters. ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-31032857141701414232016-11-08T15:12:39.499-05:002016-11-08T15:12:39.499-05:00TY for your honest comment.

If Hillary wins, I truly feel that our govt will be bought and run by the plutocrats and oligarchs that already are in charge of the big banks and wall street. Our democracy will suffer because of the political policies that are designed to benefit the uber-rich. My two of my greatest fears are the privatizing of social security and the public school education reforms. Will those two entities be heavily protected in the next administration? Oh God I hope so. As for the economic status of our country, do I smell TPP being passed?

I couldn't vote for Clinton because I could not sanction another four years of neo-liberal promotion of endless wars, unflinching charter school support and Wall Street coziness. I could not vote for Trump because I am a woman and I would prefer not to end up in a concentration camp. Sorry Norm! I did not have it in me to pull the lever for HRC.<br /><br />Abigail ShureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
