Kidding. We were planning on doing that. And we saved their teacher and the black Student Union at garfield now is just won the citys human rights award for leading a march first marching to the precinct demanding that black lives matter and then a walk out the day after there was no indictment of Darren Wilson and theyre becoming leaders not just at the school but for the entire city in defining what black lives matter means. Think its all part of this growing struggle. I just want to say one last thing about the transformative nature of these struggles. I want to just end by reading a quick passage if i can.

She was the schools valedictorian and does she have the best grades in the highest test scores she was told by the principal she had to give the graduation speech for the school school.

Ponder and ponder and choose the plausible answer that thismaker considers incorrect, but where you could probably have a very good discussion about what really is the right answer. And the fact is the standardized test is not a good form of accountability, there is only one purpose to standardized testing, its to say we dont trust teachers. The teachers judgments are not worthy, because i think back to before the era of standardized testing we have always had a little built but never high stakes. The idea was you could trust teachers.

And he said, i was talking to a young woman here at the university, who seems to know somethings that were very disturbing if true and i told her i cant do too much to help but why dont you go over and talk to the folks at the south building, the administration building.

And in time the people of michigan and the people of detroit came to trust him as, even though a young person, a very skilled and dedicated leader. Well, mason was regarded first of all by the people in his own territory as a bit of an interloper, just coming in from kentucky. When the logical thing for jackson to do what it into a point in michigan person, a detroit politician for the number two position in the territory. But because mason had made such an impression on jackson himself, they had met and jackson thought this young man had a lot of confidence in itself and a vision, so that i will appoint him.

My digital producer and cohost is here bringing in all of your feedback and holy cow is there a lot of feedback. As you can imagine.

I gotta honor that voice, first up lauren, i am quite certain these mens rights activists got all the air time they needed last month after the usc b shooting. Allison says i will not be tuning in tonight. I have no use for organizations that give voice to bigots.
