Through this blog we hope to promote yours and other comments, to have a spirited and candid discussion about the Reinvention, its driving forces, its consequences, and its beneficiaries. Are aspects of the Reinvention that are worthwhile? Yes, but our research indicates that the main thrust of the Reinvention is harmful to the students and their aspirations, and to the bulk of ordinary people that labor every day at the City Colleges of Chicago.<br /><br />PEARLCity Colleges of Chicago Reinvention: The Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762365876915937599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562669436195506805.post-80315351954865934282011-09-10T21:44:56.670-05:002011-09-10T21:44:56.670-05:00What else can we expect from a president who has a...What else can we expect from a president who has allowed the ultra-rich to skip taxes? If he were really committed to education, he would have taken someone who truly understands pedagogy and social needs, like Bill Ayers, as Secretary of Education, instead of his basketball buddy. But Ayers was too controversial; and so was Rev. Jeremiah Wright. As Obama denied being a friend of those dangerous liaisons, he sided more and more with the Chicago Club and Wall Street, betraying every one of his campaign promises. I never expected that the institution where I teach would be turned into a trade school by the president I voted for. The result will be a nation of tea-partiers ignoramuses.
