He has a pretty compelling tale up on his website about the necessity of tenure for professional educators. Notwithstanding our various ideological debates on education reform, who's right, who's wrong, and who's potentially racist or sexist, there are people out there in a lot of pain because they tried to do what's right. We need to emphasize and find ways to support our fellow educators.

Actually, before the NCSS conference, there is a meeting primarily of social studies education faculty and graduate students, forming the College and University Faculty Assembly (CUFA). We are doing a live broadcast for our colleagues as our presentation. For those of you able to join us in person, you can find us at 1PM PDT in WSCC Room 204.  For this hour-long episode, we'll be primarily discussing how we can get our colleagues and peers more involved with activism. Social studies advocates claim to be about democracy and social justice. There is a tremendous need here for an all hands on deck approach to defend our public schools from corporate reform. So, we need their help in this. Is it time to put up or shut up? Out of the journals and into the streets, so to speak. We're also going to be having some fun, some light hearted and self-deprecating conversation about our work in higher education. Please join us.
