Occupy Colleges Now: Students as the New Public Intellectuals

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'The police violence that has taken place at the University of California campuses at Berkeley and Davis does more than border on pure thuggery; it also reveals a display of force that is as unnecessary as it is brutal, and it is impossible to justify. These young people are being beaten on their campuses for simply displaying the courage to protest a system that has robbed them of both a quality education and a viable future.'

Lessons of Ohio

Dick Meister, Dick Meister s Blog: 'One of the key lessons Trumka draws from Ohio s election is that 'the myth of the pampered public employee has been busted. Public employees didn t cause the economic crisis and they are not the enemy. Demonization of public employees is neither a strategy nor a solution and the heartland Americans who voted to restore rights for public employees understood that.'
