Extractions: Culbert Levy Olson was born on November 7, 1876, in Fillmore, Utah, of Western pioneer parents, Daniel and Delilah (King) Olson, and was a descendent of one of the signers of the U.S. Constitution. His early youth was spent on a farm in Utah. He was the second of two boys, his elder brother being Emmet Olson. He was apparently reared in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), although all of his references to that church were oblique. Typical of the "aside" remarks he made concerned with Mormonism was a story he related about his first experience of disbelief. But, referring to his mother, it seemed impossible for him to associate the word Mormon even with her. I was born in a small country town. The entire community belonged to one religion and church, which controlled the educational, cultural and civic affairs of the community. Any apostate was looked upon as having fallen by the wayside by the influence of the "Devil." It may be that I was naturally a skeptic, for, notwithstanding the religious influence of my early youth, I did not join in the emotion that other children seemed to enjoy in their emotional response to the passionate sermons of the church teachers who told of revelation from God and the appearance of an angel to the prophet, seer, revelator and founder of the church. Reason forced me to conclude that the founder was a bold, ambitious imposter whose revelations did not make sense. My conclusion was not reached easily because of my desire to conform with the religion of my Mother whom I dearly loved the kindest, most humane and self-sacrificing person I have ever known.

Extractions: Editorial by The Washington Post , November 1, 2000 California and Michigan will vote next Tuesday on two very different school voucher schemes. Opponents say both plans carry risks. We agree. But being a public school student in a poor urban district in this country also carries risksrisks that are well-known, quantifiable and persistent over decades. That scandalous fact leaves us reluctant to dismiss out of hand those states that seek to give such students more options. Voucher plans come in many forms, but in essence they call for the government to fund K-12 education not only through public school systems but also through parents, who may choose a public or private school of their liking. Opponents argue that vouchers could lead to segregation along religious, class or ethnic lines; drain money from public schools just as they are reforming; leave behind children most in need, including the disabled; and encourage fly-by-night school operators who would grab the money but fail to teach. Some of these risks can be mitigated. Vouchers would drain money from public schools only as fast as they drain pupils. Students with special needs can be given vouchers of greater value. Schools that accept vouchers, like private schools today, could be held to certain academic and safety standards. Nondiscrimination should be a condition for schools to participate. As under Florida's new law, students could be given the freedom to opt out of religious practices in parochial schools. And the argument about fly-by-night schools suggests that poor parents are less able than others to discern whether their children are learning; presumably schools that succeeded would be schools that survived.

Extractions: Article - School Vouchers: Voters Say No by Albert Menendez and Edd Doerr Regardless of how the U.S. Supreme Court rules in the Cleveland school voucher case this year, the voucher issue will continue to play a role in the political process. Just about every state legislature and Congress could see battles over proposals to drain the public treasury to support nonpublic schools under the guise of parental choice. And hard-pressed public schools will be caught in the crossfire as they try to maintain adequate levels of funding to educate 90% of this countrys children. IN THE 2000 ELECTIONS voters in two large and important states, California and Michigan, overwhelmingly rejected voucher schemes in statewide referenda. These voters handed advocates of public aid to private and parochial schools their 23rd and 24th defeats in 25 elections held in 14 states since 1966.

American Boys' Clothes: The 1960s--Chicago And California I attended parochial school in both Chicago and california. Especially as I got older I began having problems as my mother insisted on short pants. http://histclo.hispeed.com/country/us/co-us19606par.html
Extractions: I grew up in Chicago and California. My mother had European tastes concerning fashions. I wore short pants to Catholic School through the 8th grade. This was not "acceptable" to other boys in the 1960s and 70s so my friend Michael and I were always dodging abuse. An 8th grader in grey or blue short pants and knee socks was considered a sissy. I remember sone pretty rough back then. but know I find it a bit exciting. Let me say that I was not from a rich or affluent family. my father was a real estate broker. His accounts were business structures; i.e. office building/space, factories, land and upscale houses. So he was not around alot unless he had business dinners and entertained clients at the house. Needless to say, my sister and I were at our best for these. As the youngest of the two kids, I felt I was just a "show piece". I can only guess that my mom with the British influence and the ties to Paris thought that a proper you boy dressed a certain way and that was that. I also remember that she as I guess many mothers at that time followed Jackie Kennedy fashions and we all remember JohnJohn in short pants well into his early teens. He sure didn't help. [HBC note: John appears to have worn short pants including short pamts suits as a boy. HBC has not noted him wearing short pants into his eraly teens. He seems to have begun wearing long pants at about 10 years of age.] Parochial Schools

Election 2000 Proposition 38 Rejected by california Voters. by Denise M. Bonilla drew the ire of public education supporters and even parochial school administrators, http://journalism.berkeley.edu/projects/election2000/state/schools1.html
Extractions: Photo by Rachelle A. Jones Proposition 38 would have given $4,000 to students attending private or religious schools. In a landslide victory for public school advocates, Proposition 38, the school voucher initiative backed by Silicon Valley millionaire Tim Draper, was defeated on Tuesday, getting less than 30 percent of the vote. With 82.3 percent of precincts reporting and 7,717,315 votes tallied, Proposition 38 recorded only 29.4 percent of voters' support or 2 million votes. Opposition to the measure reached 70.6 percent or nearly 5.5 million votes. It failed to win in any county. Proposition opponents were hardly surprised to see the initiative fail. "This makes it very clear that vouchers are not the answer," said Becky Voglman, spokesperson for No On 38, the group that campaigned against the measure. "Voters in California have voted for the second time in seven years against vouchers, so they know it's not the way to improve our schools." School voucher initiatives were also on the ballot in Michigan, where Proposition 00-1 would amend the state constitution to allow tax dollars to be spent on private and religious school vouchers. Proposition 00-1 fell quickly, losing by 70 percent, with 642, 990 votes against the measure and obtaining only 275, 200 votes in favor, or 30 percent of the total vote. With 26 percent of precincts reporting, the measure was declared defeated at 8 p.m. EST.

Extractions: The Real Cost Of Private Schools by David Boaz and R. Morris Barrett David Boaz is executive vice president of the Cato Institute and the editor of Liberating Schools: Education in the Inner City. R. Morris Barrett is a writer in New York. Executive Summary American schools are failing because they are organized according to a bureaucratic, monopolistic model. A school voucher of $3,000 per student per year would give more families the option of sending their children to non-government schools. However, many people believe that such a small amount could not possibly cover tuition at a private school; they may be thinking of such costly schools as Dalton, Andover, and Exeter and concluding that all private schools cost in excess of $10,000 a year.
Extractions: Riverside, Riverside County The Casa Blanca School in Riverside epitomizes the historical tradition of de facto segregated, separate, and unequal education of Chicano and other ethnic minority children in California. It also epitomizes the coordinated, successful struggle of ethnic minority communities to fight against racism and unequal education. Born in the political, economic, and social conflicts between Mexicanos and Anglos in the post-Mexican-American War period, the policy and tradition of racial segregation of Riverside schools continued until 1965. It was initiated in 1874, when newly arrived Anglos created the Trujillo School District to serve the residents of La Placita, thus isolating the Mexican community from Riverside. In 1906, the Riverside City School Board reaffirmed the 1874 decision by ruling that all children must attend school in the attendance district in which they lived. This ruling was aimed at the growing number of Mexican immigrant families who were being imported to work as line crews on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the Southern Pacific Railroad. Mexican labor was also being recruited for the growing citrus industry, which had boomed in the 1880s and was quickly becoming the economic mainstay of the region. By the early twentieth century, Mexican labor replaced Chinese and Japanese labor, the earliest unskilled labor force brought into the Riverside area. In addition to working the citrus orchards, packing houses, and railroads, Mexican laborers worked in the nearby cement plants and rock quarries and on construction of the Salt Lake Bridge over the Santa Ana River.
