Have you read Savage Inequalities, or anything else by Jonathon Kozol? He makes the case for school funding equity. I was curious what you thought as a teacher. You can PM me if you think it’s too off topic.

It’s a good example, we can give all citizens the opportunity for an education, even an unequal education is life changing.

I have seen this idea turned on its head also. We have had very disruptive children in the classroom who should not be there and are negatively impacting other students. They are kept in the classroom due to this ‘every child has a right to an education’ line which has a very narrow focus.

Giving one child an education in a particular environment can damage the quality of education for other students in that environment.

In practice this idea can be used to create bad educational outcomes while having a false compassion that one is doing a good thing. Inequality is a characteristic of the environment and an equality focus will mean a poorer education for all and the creation of an ethical straight-jacket that you can’t get out of.

Except that this is not a matter of simple legislative or policy change. The requirement that students be given a fair, free, and basic education is case law. There have been many challenges to this doctrine and they have failed in conservative courts and liberal ones. Behavior issues are not enough to overcome the right to education enshrined in the law and upheld in the courts.

I am speaking in an Australian context. It is also law here. The question is what type of education?
Legislature creates law so I would expect a legislative change would change the law. It would then be dependent on not conflicting with other law. So the legislative change would depend on its nature and its relation to the different systems established law.

As I said above a lot would depend on how you define education. Having the type of students I am referring to in the classroom is not doing anyone any good. Other alternatives that still are within the (amended or not) definition of education would be better in my recommendation although not supported by some who hold to the equality dotrine.

Yes, students deserve the opportunity for an education, but reasonable behavior is a requirement to take advantage of the opportunity. As you point out, it should not destroy the opportunity for their neighbors.

The focus should be on effective redirects. If a child doesn’t work in the classroom, then redirect them to an alternative school and monitor their effectiveness.
 
KGB agent and Soviet diplomat, Yuri Bezmenov in a 1984 interview detailing the Soviet infiltration of among other things the social justice Left of America (and the west) in an effort to destabilize the country.

fuller interview

real Soviet influence in America - sowing discord and subverting religion, politics, morals, culture, history etc.

And you consider a KGB agent trustworthy?
 
Reading it now. Very convincing. 🙂 His original book Red Horizons was secretly printed in Hungary and smuggled into Romania. It helped to bring down Nicolae Ceaucesco, one of the first chinks in the iron curtain.

At Nicolae’s trial the content of the book Red Horizons was the basis for the trial against him.

Evidently the Romanians thought it trustworthy as Nicolae was sentenced to death by firing squad.

The uprising sent a shudder through the Soviet empire. At the time of the trial the Hungarians opened their Austrian border and German protests for democracy for East Germany forced Honecker to resign and his replacement allowed East Germans to go to the West which caused an overnight exodus of east Germans.

The Soviet Socialist Empire fell in quick succession.

To answer the original question, yes I consider top ranking officials of the KGB and soviet Intelligence officers who defected before the Berlin Wall fell and were assessed by western intelligence and given asylum for the credibility of their intelligence very trustworthy.
