Ron Unz, chair of English for the Children, is a California multimillionaire software developer and former Republican candidate for governor. Unz launched a national movement to eliminate bilingual education across the country by amending state constitutions, with the ultimate goal being to amend the Constitution of the United States. He also spearheaded the defeat of bilingual education in California, Arizona, and Massachusetts, but his xenophobic anti-immigrant campaign met with fierce resistance in Colorado. On November 5, more than 56 percent of all Colorado voters opposed the anti-bilingual amendment and voted “No on 31.” Among other things, the amendment to the Constitution would have given all students only nine months to learn English before being placed into all-English classes. For many, this would mean a lifetime of being illiterate. And therein lies the importance of “holding the line” on bilingual education and defeating the likes of Ron Unz: Illiteracy and inequity in education translates into political and economic apartheid for millions of immigrant students.

Find your parent center Welcome! The Technical Assistance Alliance for Parent Centers is an innovative project that supports a unified technical assistance system for the purpose of developing, assisting and coordinating Parent Training and Information Projects and Community Parent Resource Centers under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This project is funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs and consists of 1 national center and 6 regional centers . The project is funded to strengthen the connections to the larger technical assistance network and fortify partnerships between parent centers and state education systems at regional and national levels. Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs) and Community Parent Resource Centers (CPRCs) in each state provide training and information to parents of infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities and to professionals who work with children. This assistance helps parents to participate more effectively with professionals in meeting the educational needs of children and youth with disabilities. The Parent Centers work to improve educational outcomes for children and youth with all disabilities (emotional, learning, mental, and physical). The Alliance offers a variety of resources to further strengthen the Parent Centers' abilities to effectively serve the families in their communities whose children have disabilities. There are approximately 100 parent centers in the United States. Staff members in these centers, as well as at the Alliance office, are likely to be parents of children with disabilities or have disabilities themselves. The

106. Michele Stanley's Parenting And Foster Parenting Page As a foster parent and Guardian Ad Litem, I have spent the last several years National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect A national resource http://users.southeast.net/~mstanley/parent.htm

As a foster parent and Guardian Ad Litem, I have spent the last several years seeing the "child protection" system close up. I have known children that have been through unimaginable horrors within their families of origin, only to be further abused by a system that, in my opinion, doesn't work. There are no easy answers. The number of children in alternative care is increasing dramatically. The number of foster families is steadily decreasing. Privativing foster care has become the new panacea, but like most things, "if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is". As George Carlin so aptly put it "It doesn't take a village to raise a child. It takes a Mother and a Father." The "system" abuses the children, the biological families, the foster families and the adoptive families. And God forbid you actually adopt one of these kids!!! I have known children who were abused before birth (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Effect), children who became psychotic, dissociative or had attachment disorder. Following are some sites that I have found and used concerning kids and parenting: Foster Parenting Sites: Foster Parents Page Foster Parents Newsletter National Court-appointed Special Advocates Association - Help a child.

The media focused on John's Wal-Mart wealth. I'd like to share what I knew of this extraordinary man. John was a friend to all who loved children and who wanted to help increase educational opportunities for low-income families. He made it his life's passion and mission to empower low-income parents with quality educational opportunities so their children could succeed in life. He is perhaps one of the richest in the world when it comes to the number of people who really loved him and by those who called him a friend. He lived..." [
