My Dad was a factory worker and former radical in the '30's. Politics was often a topic of conversation with him and my mother, who got him involved to begin with. Having grown up with a labor union benefiting our family tremendously, and having been involved with education for over 35 years, I feel as you do,that our future looms large in these new schemes to kill the middle class. Turning kids' classrooms into data production laboratories isn't exactly turning out the informed populace that Thomas Jefferson said was needed for a democracy to thrive, either. I am past hand wringing at this point; I am also ready to take a stand and take action when I can. A new political party and movement must form in this country, perhaps some kind of Labor Party. Otherwise, I will encourage my child to emigrate, since there will be no future to this country. It will have been wasted by the oligarchs and fascists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-87675219712079369972011-02-28T14:39:34.783-05:002011-02-28T14:39:34.783-05:00R.A.
