Political"...

This should be an interesting and timely discussion. Not just teachers
and school workers should come ,but parents,students community
activists, and those interested in defending public education and
fighting for peace and social justice should come especially to hear
the speaker about Cindy Sheehan"s campaign in California.  jh

complexities of teacher-activism. Among the topics to be explored:
getting involved in Independent political parties; balancing teaching
