A Reminder

I have been posting articles, as can clearly be seen. I have talked about various policies being acted on and sometimes I take a view, and other times I don't. Currently I am working on a research proposal paper for my Latin American Politics class and I mention in it that education is important to fix the drug trade problem. Along with this research, I also went back through my photo album to see the pictures of my students last year.

So I just want to say this.

I believe that everyone, no matter the age, race, sex, has the right to a GOOD education. Everyone has the right to have the basic skills in reading and math. Everyone has the right to knowledge, and they should not be denied these factors. I focus on children because of all people, they are the ones who feel the affects of policy and have the least amount of allowance in what direction they can go in, at least until the become an "adult." We as a people have the duty to provide this basic need, education, to our people and allow them the opportunity to strive to be all that they can be.

That is all. Here is a video from the OLPC Foundation (One Laptop Per Child). I'll do another post on them, but just take the video for its message. Digest it, and decide what you will do.
