Gaza Situation #5

Yesterday a superintendent in Central Falls, Rhode Island, fired the whole staff at the High School. Students at the school do not perform well. Central Falls is the poorest town in the state with near 15% unemployment and students at the high school have poor test scores and low graduation rates. So do you do the right thing, flood the area with money and resources and jobs. No you scapegoat the teachers and use federal rules to upend job security. No one has to be proven a bad teacher. Test score are bad so you fire the whole lot. Obamas sec. or Education Duncan hailed the firings. Its the shape of things to come.

The Struggle is shown in 20 cable outlets

We continue with coverage of efforts to end the siege of Gaza. In January in New York City there was an event called Beyond the Gaza Freedom March with people who had gone to Egypt to try to get into Gaza and people who supported them. Well have two of the speakers for you tonight, Fida Quishta and Ali Abunimah.

Fida Qishta is from Gaza and is a filmmaker and videographer. She reported for Englands Guardian newspaper in 2008. He home in Rafah was destroyed by Israel that year along with the homes of many other Palestinians.

Then we have video of an arrest, the arrest of a doctors who were holding a sign outside of a hotel where the President was going to enter. It was a sign the President did not want to see. It said Letting you know, Medicare for all Finally Ill have comment about the decision of a Rhode Island superintnendent to fire every staff member in his high school.
