ANYCEC Radio is the creation of Carmen M Colon, education advocate. I created this show to help out the parents of children who attend the NYC Public School System. I hope it helps.

Critical thinking and culturally relevant education are not welcomed at Jordan High School (Part of the LAUSD- Los Angeles Unified School District) Latina English Teacher is threatened with termination for being too “Afro-centric” in her teaching.
For a video of some of the student organizers, please visit: <http://www.youtube. com/v/0yxwUFPoku Q>
As a second year teacher, Ms. Karen Salazar has had a dynamic impact on the Jordan High School campus by connecting readings to the real lives and struggles that students go through. Her English Class has become a favorite among students on campus, where they regularly read and analyze books and selected readings from people of color to whom the students can relate. Students, who typically skip some of their classes, show up religiously in Salazar’s English Class.
However, much of Salazar’s success has also led to constant harassment by Jordan H.S. administration. Salazar has been visited and “observed” by the administration over 15 times in the past year. During one of the visits, an administrator criticized her for having students read The Autobiography of Malcolm X, a LAUSD approved text. When she objected to this criticism, she was told that her teachings where too “Afro-centric. “ She was then told that the school would not renew her teaching contract for the upcoming
school year.What makes this case particularly interesting is that the principal, Stephen Strachan, is African American and Salazar is Salvadorian. However, Strachan believes that Salazar teaches too much about the Black experience, which is completely ironic.
“The school knows that Ms. Salazar is a very passionate and good teacher, and yet they want to fire her. It is not fair because there are many other teachers who don’t teach anything, and they never get fired,” said one of the Jordan High School Students at a youth-led meeting to discuss the firing.At the meeting, many Jordan students expressed anger and frustration over the situation. After two hours of discussion, it was agreed that the students would form the Students 4 Salazar coalition and demand that Ms. Salazar continue to teach at Jordan for the upcoming school year. Students also decided that
they had no other recourse but to take direct action to save their teacher.
A protest rally was planned for after school in front of Jordan H.S. on Thursday, June 5th 2008 at 3:15pm.

After deciding that I had to leave the education advocacy arena to focus on my own children's education more closely I figured I would never have a chance to go back. After all, you join the PTA and you serve for a couple of years and as your own children grow up, then you too find yourself moving on.ANYCEC was different. I had accomplished something that to this day I'm told was unbelieveable. I had gathered the strength of my colleagues and with all of our different strengths, we were able to hold City Hall to task.ANYCEC broke the dam on the Capital Plan. Before ANYCEC came around only a hand full of people understood the significance and the overwhelming complexity of this document. ANYCEC, with the wonderful help of so many advocates, so many to name but I do want to take the time out thank a few, starting with Sarah Morgridge, who provided so many parents and an entire district with the knowledge to change the minds and plans of the School Construcion Authority in favor of the communities! Councilman Robert Jackson's and Gale Brewer's entire education team provided such a service in 2004 and it was their diligence and patience, along with Manhattan Borough Presidents Marty Markowitz and Scott Stringer who immediately opened up their doors to allow ANYCEC to hold their Borough wide classes within their Borough Halls. Borough Presidents Adolpho Carrion and Helen Marshall, along with Public Advocate Betsy Gottbaum soon followed and extended the services of their staff and for that we were eternally grateful.My own Senator Montgomery, who everyone knows I respect and care for like my own family, (she was the one who told me to learn all that I can so that I could stand on my own two feet and get off public assistance back when I was still in college trying to raise my oldest son) she has always been straightforward and has provided the basics on how to me a civic minded and informed resident of NYC. Were it not for her I don't know how far I would have gotten in my dream to have a career with purpose.So, now, ANYCEC, still on the minds of the parents that are still in there fighting for the rights of the parents they represent, emails are not enough anymore. I want to do more that send emails and I know that with me having to be close to home and not being able to go to meetings the way that I used to, I must use what I know (I'll always be a computer geek) and find another way to reach parents so that they can take control of their children's education.So, welcome to ANYCEC Radio, where everything is about learning to be engaged, to be informed and most of all learning to be empowered. When everyone says, "TRUST ME, I KNWO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOUR CHILD", I say, "DON'T TRUST, LISTEN, LEARN AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF". You are your child's best education advocate.

Parent Power - these words were spoke to every parent at meetings where there appeared to be more conflicts than there were collaboration. Politics is based on illusion and if you can spin your own illusion, then you could create a false reality. Heresay is a powerful tool to use for spinning. Parents don't want spinning, they want the truth. Clear, cut, simple and now. ANYCEC Radio is here to do just that.
