Next, Jesse Hagopian, editor of more than a score, and history teacher Garfield High School in seattle, washington, takes a look at standardized testing. Thank you. So welcome everybody for braving the elements and making it out here. My name is brian jones, im an educator and activist. And as jason said im going to moderate our event. Just a few words about the event and then we will kick off. I will introduce the panelists and let them kick it off and then well have discussion after that. We are here for a very important reason. Eight, to mourn the decision to not run Marchand Lynch on the one yard line last night. [laughter] b, to protect Jesse Hagopian from future pepper spray incident last night c to talk to pineapple or d to celebrate the launch of this book more than a score the new uprising against highstakes testing. Now obviously c is a distractor question. Theres nothing relevant. Just eliminate that one right off the bat but a and b are plausible. Either those make sense bu
Only possible criticism is that they scheduled me right up against mr. Gwyn next door. I used to teach civil war history. Lots of books come out on the civil war but not many of them are as good as his book rebel yell. Of all of possible people to be scheduled up against i find that a little daunting coin. Thank you for being here. Is event must be full. Second i thank my host j. Ford was my host last night, took me to a wonderful dinner, the only possible qualm i have with that is took me after the authors reception, it was very late and was the pink house. They brought me a piece of fish that is bigger than a plate, the tailstock out on one end and there was so much food that i am stuff and i figure i have to speak. The only wise than i did was liquor too. I turned down the wine and liquor and dime stuff from that food. I was not so lucky at lunch. I had a wonderful pleasure of you probably know him. A wonderful daughter and couldnt restrain on of liquor, not being there with sunny.
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. Theres a chapter in here you should not miss which is by a young woman named amber kudlow who went to a school here in new york state. 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. She said absolutely not, i dont have anything to say. Im not
President ial faith, and thats not just because im intrigued with how people might believe theologically, its because i think weve come to the conclusion, i think weve come to understand that religion forms the world view out of which an executive leader leads, the decisions they make, what they choose, what they believe about the middle east, what they believe about morality, what they believe about everything from is sex to education to family to foreign policy. So i dont think this is just a little side study in president ial studies, i dont think its just a little subfield. I think were realizing increasingly that the president ial faith is something thats really important. And sometimes i think we probably wish we had known more about a president s faith before he actually got elected or before he ran. So this is just not an area of bigotry, its not trying to figure out, oh, where do i disagree with this person or how can i, you know, how can i oppose them theologically, its about
