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. |
[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] 115 pushed out students in Birmingham; now only 114
Dear BHRP folks: In Friday's Birmingham News, there was a short blurb on page 2C of the Metro section. It states that Timothy Harrison, 16, was shot and died in Gate City. The report said he, "was a student at Woodlawn High School until April 1999, said Allen Lewis, principal of Woodlawn High School. Harrison was withdrawn in April for the Kennedy Alternative Program, Lewis said. 'Anytime a young person that has not yet begun to live is killed, it is a tragedy,' Lewis said." We track students in school at an early age. We withdraw them when they turn 16. We incarcerate them. We bury them. We have got to stop this inhumanity NOW!
