Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Folks: I have posted this update on the trial of Substance editor, George Smith from Chicago for your consideration and better access and distribution. Please forward... ;-} rap. Resistance Update: Substance trial again postponed... August 14, 2001 (CHICAGO, AUGUST 14, 2001) Resistance Update: Substance trial again postponed. This time, we go to court January 7, 2002. For further information contact, Substance: 773-725-7502 or by Email (Csubstance @aol.com). The trail of Substance (and editor George N. Schmidt) in the Chicago Board of Education's $1 million "copyright infringement" lawsuit against us was postponed ("for the last time") by U.S. District Judge John Darrah in federal court yesterday. The trial had been set to begin on September 19, 2001. That date has been set after more than two and a half years of stalling by the plaintiff, a change of federal judges, and a vast array of bureaucratic bullying, media manipulations, and expensive publicity stunts by those who run Chicago and its public schools -- and their supporters in the national testocracy's ministries of propaganda. Instead of a trial date, another last minute problem (brought to the judge by the plaintiff, Chicago's school board) again delayed justice. So on August 13, 2001, U.S. District Court Judge Darrah told both sides that he cannot grant any additional postponements -- but that the copyright infringement trial would definitely begin in his Chicago courtroom on January 7, 2002. Those who are new to the resistance may need some background... ;-} rap.
