12 Steps to Recover from Colonized Thinking (#12SRCT)

~ The aim of #RCT is to provide people a process for changing how they've been taught to think and behave patriarchy which fosters inequality, i.e., classism, sexism, and racism to thinking matriarchy which fosters equity. The 12 step process, if followed, has been proven to begin to change how one thinks and behaves in 90 days. To promote permanent change, THIS 12 step program includes New Way of Thinking (#NWTC) classes to correct the lies patriarchy has spread around the world. The 12-18 month classes include 1) Understanding the two primary global cultures, matriarchy and patriarchy (#UMPC), 2) Understanding the system of racism/white supremacy (#USRwS), and 3) Pre-Columbus-colonial African History (#PCAH).

White Supremacy’s Golden Rules of Education & Opportunity Are: Get Rid of Black Teachers & Give ‘Um Young White Inexperienced White Kids Then Leave Them Behind

TOGETHER WE RISE: THIS TEACHER WON’T LET ZIP CODE DETERMINE OUTCOMES

“Here we are, 60 years after Brown v. Board of Education, and the data altogether still show a picture of gross inequity in educational opportunity,” said Daniel J. Losen, director of the Center for Civil Rights Remedies at the University of California at Los Angeles’s Civil Rights Project.

In high school, the study found that while more than 70 percent of white students attend schools that offer a full range of math and science courses — including algebra, biology, calculus, chemistry, geometry and physics — just over half of all black students have access to those courses. Just over two-thirds of Latinos attend schools with the full range of math and science courses, and less than half of American Indian and Native Alaskan students are able to enroll in as many high-level math and science courses as their white peers.

The Education Department’s report found that black, Latino, American Indian and Native Alaskan students are three times as likely as white students to attend schools with higher concentrations of first-year teachers. And in nearly a quarter of school districts with at least two high schools, the teacher salary gap between high schools with the highest concentrations of black and Latino students and those with the lowest is more than $5,000 a year.

“Folks who cannot teach effectively should not be working with low-income or African-American kids, period,” he said, adding that the problem was difficult to resolve because individual districts are allowed to make decisions on how to assign teachers to schools.

Teach for American recruits new college graduates, gives them five weeks of summer training and then places them in some of America’s neediest classrooms, presuming that just a little over a month of training is sufficient to do the job. Critics point out that high-needs students, who are the ones who get TFA teachers, are the children who most need veteran teachers. In fact, some veterans are now losing their jobs to TFA corps members, because TFAers are less expensive to hire, and some school teaching communities are becoming less cohesive because TFA members promise only to stay for two years and leave teaching at a greater rate than traditionally trained teachers.

In his speech to the US Congress on the 24th I heard Pope Frances speak to the issues of poverty and opportunity when he said

“How much has been done in these first years of the third millennium to raise people out of extreme poverty! I know that you share my conviction that much more still needs to be done, and that in times of crisis and economic hardship a spirit of global solidarity must not be lost. At the same time I would encourage you to keep in mind all those people around us who are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They too need to be given hope. The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes. I know that many Americans today, as in the past, are working to deal with this problem.”

“Now is the time for courageous actions and strategies, aimed at implementing a “culture of care” (ibid., 231) and “an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature” (ibid., 139).

“…I think of the march which Martin Luther King led from Selma to Montgomery fifty years ago as part of the campaign to fulfill his “dream” of full civil and political rights for African Americans. That dream continues to inspire us all. “

“I would encourage you to keep in mind all those people around us who are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They too need to be given hope..” 

“I know that Let us remember the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Mt 7:12).”

“This Rule points us in a clear direction. Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated. Let us seek for others the same possibilities which we seek for ourselves. Let us help others to grow, as we would like to be helped ourselves. In a word, if we want security, let us give security; if we want life, let us give life; if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities.”

What the Pope said is nice, great and true; it was good to hear him tell the wealthy white men in Congress and else where to follow the Golden Rule but it’s my opinion that we need to pick-up the baton and do for ourselves as we did prior to desegregation and that’s to teach our children ourselves and create our own opportunities.  Why, because it’s my opinion that whites can’t do it…their culture will not allow them…psychologically, they’er incapable, if but because they usually, aren’t willing to teach racial pride or don’t know how to serve as a role model for our children.

People V. Huey P. Newton…Real Trial of the 21st Century

The Sky’s the Limit: People v. Newton, The REAL Trial of the 20th Century?

Book by retired Judge Lise Pearlman…

 

The Sky’s The Limit: People v. Newton, The REAL Trial of the 20th Century? by retired Judge Lise Pearlman offers a people’s history of the 20th century in the U.S. through major court trials.

This journey takes readers to the 1907 Idaho murder trial of 8-hour day champion Big Bill Haywood that prompted laborers to march by the tens of thousands in the streets of Boston and Manhattan; Clarence Darrow’s stirring defense in 1925 of black homeowners in Detroit besieged by the KKK bent on protecting whites-only neighborhoods; the 1969-70 Chicago Seven and Black Panther Party Chairman Bobby Seale bound and gagged; the controversial prosecution in 1987 of subway vigilante Bernhard Goetz; and the trials of two terrorists for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

Each headline trial serves as a window into its own era, but the author asserts that the 1968 murder trial of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton should head the list. Following a shootout with two Oakland policemen, the accused revolutionary put the U.S. itself on trial for 400 years of racism and economic exploitation. That spectacularly dramatic death penalty trial featured three then rarities: a woman defense lawyer sitting second chair; a female majority on the jury and a black foreman. The trial drew an international spotlight on a superpower bitterly divided over the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement and rocked by the assassinations of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy. By the summer of 1968, the FBI called the Black Panthers the greatest internal threat to America’s security. J. Edgar Hoover particularly feared the allure of the Party’s signature breakfast program feeding inner city children, following on the heels of the late Dr. King’s Poor People’s Campaign. Newton had already become an icon of the Left challenging racism, capitalism and an increasingly unpopular foreign war. Many radicals saw him as the vanguard of a second American revolution. All the major power struggles based on race, class, gender and ideology played a pivotal role in one extraordinarily high stakes trial. Panther Party spokesman Eldridge Cleaver predicted warfare in city streets across America if Newton faced execution. The author contends that the surprising verdict of the diverse jury with Newton’s life in their hands still reverberates today—had it turned out otherwise Barack Obama would likely not be President. [Publisher’s description.]

Reviews

”Lise Pearlman’s account of the tinderbox setting enveloping the trial of Huey Newton perfectly captures how much can be at stake for an entire community—even a nation—in a single trial and the exceptional role played by twelve everyday men and women we trust to decide each case. For those, like myself, who recall this case from our youth, Lise has done a wonderful job in both capturing a movement and its historical context. But anyone interested in history, courtroom drama or criminal justice should read this gripping account of an all too often forgotten chapter of the 20th Century.” —Barry Scheck, Professor of Law, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Co-Director, The Innocence Project

”I was born in Oakland a generation before the mass migration of African-American families to the Bay Area from the South during World War II. I later experienced the highly polarizing 1968 prosecution of Black Panther Huey Newton. Lise Pearlman has written a powerful account of both that trial and its place in our country’s political history. I truly believe that had Newton received a death sentence, we would not have Obama in the White House today. Read this wonderful book.” —Morrie Turner, Award-winning creator of “Wee Pals,” the first integrated comic strip

”Lise Pearlman’s book about the trial of Huey Newton captures the tumultuous times, the personalities, the fighting defense lawyers, including Charles Garry, in a way that makes it eminently worth reading. Garry’s jury selection dealing with race was one of the best pieces of trial work done by anyone. Loved the book.” —James Brosnahan, Senior Partner, Morrison Foerster, recognized among the top 30 trial lawyers in the U.S.

”I began my long career as a criminal defense lawyer in the mid-60’s in Oakland, California and witnessed many of the legal events Lise Pearlman describes. I find her account of the 1968 Newton murder trial and its political context accurate and fascinating. Fans of famous trials will thoroughly enjoy this fast-paced, well-researched book. If ‘THE’ trial of the 20th century can be measured, her argument for People v. Newton heading the list is a strong one.” —Penny Cooper, Member of the State Bar of California Trial Lawyers Hall of Fame

Job Announcement…Especially, For Returning Citizens

Welders Needed; A Few Weeks Of Training But No Experience Required…Contact Welder’s Union In Your Area

Listen to the Story by Susanna Capelouto…then, Instagram & post to all your friends & relatives who need a job, record, notwithstanding.

Amid A Shortage Of Welders, Some Prisons Offer Training

Inmates Ted Stancil (from left), Steven Bass and Christopher Peeples, with their welding Instructor Jeremy Worley (standing in center) at Walker State Prison in Georgia. The inmates are working toward a welding certificate.

Inmates Ted Stancil (from left), Steven Bass and Christopher Peeples, with their welding Instructor Jeremy Worley (standing in center) at Walker State Prison in Georgia. The inmates are working toward a welding certificate.

America needs more welders — and soon. Baby boomers with the skill are retiring and not enough young people are replacing them.

In the ’80s, when Flashdance brought us Alex the welding woman who really wanted to be a ballet dancer, America had well over half a million welders. Welding was hot. Today, there are about 40 percent fewer welders.

The American Welding Society estimates there will be a shortage of nearly 300,000 welding-related positions by 2020.

Jeremy Worley, who teaches welding at a technical college in north Georgia, says the demand for welders is at a level that is growing “quicker than we can get them out.”

So Worley will teach welding to anyone at any age, anywhere, including inside Walker State Prison. As part of its ongoing prison reform, Georgia decided to give inmates access to heavy tools and blowtorches so they can get a welding certificate.

Christopher Peeples, 26, is at the end of a mandatory 10-year prison sentence for armed robbery when he was barely 17.

“If it’s an opportunity for me to dive into welding and they say I have a job here, I’m going to say, ‘That’s me,’ ” Peeples says.

John Turner is an alumnus of the prison welding program, who describes himself as “a very good welder.” He got out last month and had three job offers.

“One of the other prospects was in Cherokee County and it was just too far to travel, but he was offering $50,000 a year with a company truck,” he says.

Turner took less pay for a job closer to home. His new colleagues know he has a prison record, but he says they welcomed him.

Gardner Carrick is with the Manufacturing Institute, the Washington, D.C.-based training arm of the National Association of Manufacturers. He supports prison programs like the one in Georgia.

“We certainly would love to see prisoners successfully re-integrate into the community and into the economy. So if welding is a vehicle by which that can happen, then I think that’s great to hear,” Carrick says.

But that’s only a drop in the bucket to fill the demand.

Carrick blames U.S. education policy for the lack of skilled labor. Think No Child Left Behind.

“We made the decision that all kids should go to college and as a result you saw the elimination of a lot of the technical programs at the high school level,” he says.

Carrick’s group is pushing for more skills training and programs that make manufacturing careers attractive to teenagers. And many companies have started their own apprenticeship programs.

It’s hard to defend without the right words. Harvard Law School students become proficient in arguing the pros & cons, equally well…we must learn to do the same. An aside: compare the price of sports summer camps with elocution, debate, and argumentation summer camps. Please share what you find.
