Last August, when the school year began at Tyner Academy in Chattanooga, Tennessee, nearly 100 students walked out to protest the conditions at their public school building. These students were demonstrating because the freshman building had closed due to structural problems, while other parts of the school faced issues of mold, rust and leaky ceilings. Marching across the campus, students held signs reading “Fix our school,” “Water is dripping on our food” and “Stop diverting our funds.” […]

Each day of the strike so far has featured morning pickets at schools starting at 7:30 […]
American mythology promises upward mobility, and college can provide an important first step up the class ladder. With the rise of the “knowledge economy” and the decline of industrial jobs and unions, some insisted that education is the answer to economic displacement. If you can’t earn a stable, living wage as a steelworker, go to college and become a nurse or a computer programmer. And if you didn’t make that choice, it’s your own fault that you’re struggling. After all, college was affordable, accessible, and varied. You could commute to campus, take evening classes, cover tuition with loans and grants, and […]

A new archive tells the story of a radical community collective formed in the 1960s to challenge the treatment of Black pupils in UK schools. There are parallels with groups fighting inequalities in education today. The fight to end racial disparities that continue to blight the British education system has been energised by the Black Lives Matter movement, with a growing number of campaign groups joining the push to bring about real change in UK schools. Grassroots organizations such as No More Exclusions (NME) are aiming to end exclusions that […]

An Afghan refugee-turned-famous Swedish expert on education and integration, Hamid Zafar, has had his perfect public image ruined after a local newspaper discovered hateful comments he had been posting online under a pseudonym. Zafar arrived in Sweden as a refugee child and rose to prominence as a symbol of successful integration. Brought up in what is being described as a “socially vulnerable” district of Gothenburg, the man took charge of a troubled local school and became known throughout Sweden simply as ‘Rector Hamid’. His career has been on the rise ever since: between working at the Swedish Schools Inspectorate and giving […]

To be fair, it’s probably easier to be a COVID-19 denier in New Zealand than in the United States. The island country has effectively eliminated the virus, twice, and life is now carrying on largely as normal. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t expect to be absolutely torn to pieces if you start spouting virus conspiracy theories in public there. Sadly for one man, conspicuous by his American accent, that is exactly what happened at a campaign rally in the city of Tauranga this week. The COVID denier piped up at a campaign event led by Winston Peters, leader of the […]

For several months last spring, New York City was the U.S. epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic: Hospitals were overwhelmed by patients, a makeshift morgue was erected in Manhattan, and residents feared to leave the safety of their homes. But after a months-long lockdown, New York gained the upper hand on the virus, and since then, the city’s number of COVID-19 cases has remained low, even as other states continue to grapple with troubling outbreaks. As a result, America’s largest city opened schools for in-person classes on Sept. 21—but the phased reopening has been anything but smooth. By the end of the […]
The president’s patriotic plan is opposed to the current “left-wing” curriculum in American schools, which, according to him, indoctrinates children to view all subjects through the lens of race, sowing “a new segregation”. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will soon sign an executive order establishing a commission to promote patriotic school education, called the “1776 Commission”. Speaking at the White House Conference on American History, Trump said that the programme, in contrast to the 1619 project, is aimed to develop “pro-American curriculum that celebrates the truth about our nation’s great history”. The president lashed out at liberal politicians […]

Troublesome Issues for Nuclear Weapons Owners Plutonium Aging Plutonium aging is going to have some serious implications. Since the government has been so worried about this, it is important to try to understand why. First of all, spallation due to PU aging and corrosion effects will ruin the implosion symmetry. But, the central issue with boosting is to keep the boost gas cool as long as possible. This is very difficult to do inside an exploding nuclear bomb. Spalled flakes due to PU aging will fly off the inner pit wall at around 5000 m/s. This conceivably could generate entropy […]

However, this arrived with vast supporting documentation which can, in the future, be uploaded on SCRIBD for access. One key area is that the US had supplied Israel with surplus nuclear weapons.

… by Jeff Smith, Science Editor It has been observed that microwave and or nuclear radiation has been associated with UFO activity for a long time. Flying saucers function by ionizing the air surrounding their spacecraft produced by radiation exposure to their surface structure. They “thin” the local gravitational field by separating the ions with a strong magnetic field so they are effectively flying through a rarefied atmosphere similar in composition to the ionosphere. The diminished pressure gradients eases the boundary layer effects between the saucer’s hull and the atmosphere, thereby substantially reducing or completely eliminating the effects of Gravity. The production […]
By Jeff Smith with Gordon Duff Note: Of late, it has become necessary to differentiate between several differential hypotheses linked to Aether based energy transmission and storage advocates. Toward this end, Jeff Smith, whose work on anti-gravity systems and 3rd+ generation tactical nuclear weapons has been so popular, has chosen to “lower the boom” on what he sees to be careless theoreticians. A Tesla coil is a transformer and not a hertizan antenna. So it does not radiate hertizan waves. It radiates linear electrostatic and electromagnetic shock waves at right angles to each other that start out as longitudinal waves […]
The GammaPix gimmick is that it can detect radiation in different everyday situations, such as cosmic radiation while flying in an airplane, or gamma radiation in medical waste. You simply pull up the app, and begin taking a reading. Under normal circumstances, the camera can grab a complete reading in about five minutes.The application uses technology that analyzes video and still imagery for the signature of gamma rays that have hit the image sensor. The measurements themselves indicate the rate of interactions of gamma ray radiation with the particular camera being used, so different phones will yield different results. Image Insight […]
By VT Sources Low Yield Weapons This represents one extreme of the weapon design spectrum – nuclear devices intend to make “small” explosions. Low yield in this context generally means yields much less than the 20 kts of a nominal fission weapon – say, 1-1000 tons. These are, of course, always very large compared to any other types of weapon of remotely similar size. They are small only in comparison to the potential capabilities of nuclear weapons. The smallest nuclear weapons actually deployed have had yields around 10 tons (like the W54), and have been intended for short range tactical […]

On Monday, the UK Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) announced that A-level and GCSE students in Britain would be given the exam grades predicted by their teachers instead of those awarded by a controversial algorithm that had triggered a grading fiasco. At least 79 percent of respondents believe that the UK government “badly” handled advanced (A)-level and General Certificate of Secondary Education (GSCE) results this year, a Daily Mail poll has revealed. The survey also indicated that getting pupils back into class full time in September should be the top priority for ministers. Most respondents said that they are […]

In the last year we have covered a number of incidents where nuclear weapons have been used; from exposing the truth about the nuclear nature of the destruction of the WTC on 9-11 to being the only media outlet to cover the nuclear explosions in China. In the minds of most people, a nuclear weapon is a large device carried on the tip of an ICBM or carried in the belly of a huge bomber aircraft that when deployed produces a colossal explosion and spectacular mushroom cloud just like all those terrifying 1950s newsreels . The megatonne class bombs have never […]

Many studies show large and growing inequities. Americans like to believe that education can be a great equalizer, allowing even the poorest child who studies hard to enter the middle class.

To decrease wealth inequality, one passionate financial adviser argues why financial education needs different content, from different voices, delivered through different channels. Financial education and financial literacy are at crisis levels in this country. Financial advisers spend billions on advertising but a fraction of that on education. The resources that are available tend to be inaccessible and not designed for the people who need them most. Financial media remains a boring, exclusionary acronym game.
