But much of the conversation leading up to the oscars is being dominated by what lack. Diversity. The best actor is. Oh my god, i knew it. Its a fiveway tie. All the white guys for the second year in a row, the Academy Award acting nominees are all white. The immediate backlash dominating social media and led by Jada Pinkett Smith.

To double the number of women and people of color by 2020. matthew belloni, executive editor, the Hollywood Reporter the academy is overwhelmingly white and overwhelminglyly male. A lot of t t Academy Members believe the new rules are ageist. They believe they are reverse racism. don cheadle, actor, filmmaker i dont think there is a kabal of white people going lets make sure we dont give anybody whose black or latino. i dont think thats whats happening. So its about a multiplicity of the people that this a very early point in this process. Indeed Academy Voters cant cast their ballots for movies that represent a wider range of the human condition if those films are never made in the first place. matthew belloni, executive editor, the Hollywood Reporter the ultimate change needs to come from the top helon of hollywood executive suites.

A week when werecognize and honor americas youth who wear the blue cordoroy jackets, but, hold gold standards. With m me on this. We a a joined by dennnn morrice om klem radio with more. Dedeis what is f a, and how is it tied to agriculture . Dennis good morning lucas. Well most people may remember when the organization stood for future farmers of america. But the nationwide largest Youth Organization has grown through the years, and with the growth came some changes, including the official name change in 1989. I spoke with Micheal Tupper who currently is the state president of the iowa ffa. He says ffa has expanded to recognize all careers that involve agriculture, not just those with as said ffa, now is ally based around the stem field. So, science, technology, engineering, and math related to agriculture. And thats really where our focus is. Along with developing leaders and communicators, not only for the agricultural industry, but also for any industry the ffa member chooses to take, once they go through high school and pursue whatever future plans they may want to accomplish. So, realistically, ffa has really evolved through the years, and d just has b bome more of an organization that develops leaders, in that next generation of leaders that are really going to be needed. Dennis tupper says ffa doesnt necessarily teach youth about agriculture, as mu as it utilizes agriculture as a means to teach responsibility, leadership, public speaking skills, confidence and character. He says those are the traits that employers and companies desire, and are looking for in a future employee. as said i dont anymore, really directly teaches technichal agricultural s slls. But what i idoes do it allows what we call is a three circle model of a classrm. So we have agricultu being taught in high schools by an agriculture teacher. We have a sae or supervised agricultural experience that kind of allows students to get a hands on experience in an agricultural field. But then the ffa component really does teach the leadership, and communication thats necessary in order to be sucessful. For me. It really has helped my communication. Definately, my public speaking skills. En i was a freshman in high school, i would have never dreamed that i would be doingininrviews on the dio, or i would be givininspeeches in frfrt of hundreds of people, and being completely comfortable doing that. That part of what ffa is and what it can bring to students, is really, really important in this day of age. Lukas dennis, it seems as though ffa week falls around George Washingtons there a connection to our first president . Dennis yes, there is lucas. The ffa Organization Makes reference to george washininon in many aspects. Tupper says washington was such a strong visionary for agriculture, as well as an innovator for riculture, and agriculture was washingtons first love. Tupper says the ffa wants to acknowledge the heritage of agriculture with this nations first president. Also, tupper says that each ffa chapter treasurer gives an explanation as to why they stand next to the emblem of washington during official meetings. Lukas thanan dennis.
