We have to act on our National Budget!

"Ronald Reagan’s budget director, David Stockman, says it’s time to cut and tax to save the country’s finances.

The leading GOP deficit plan, says Stockman, quote:  “appears to be an attack on the poor in order to coddle the rich.” Ouch. But wait. He’s very tough on Democrats, too. Solving our fiscal problems, he says, will take big cuts and new taxes.

This hour: David Stockman on the American deficit."

Beyond the Hip Hop Generation!

It's Bigger Than Hip Hop   by M.K. Asante

A must read for teachers working with teens -especially teens of color.  Asante not only reviews the important and not so often heard history of America and Hip Hop but he paves a way for a future vision of hope that needs to be made known to our students.  I recommend this book for both teachers and teens -especially older teens.
