Indoctrination Fridays:Teaching Kindergartners to Unionize
From biggovernment.com -This is one part of a running series entitled “Indoctrination Fridays,” a weekly review of leftist propaganda incorporated into public school curriculum, much geared towards elementary students. For more of the series, please visit PublicSchoolSpending.com. In typical union and socialist propaganda, employers are depicted as cruel and uncaring business owners who never miss an opportunity to cheat and mistreat workers. Big Labor’s “us versus them” worldview is so entrenched that they can’t recognize the fact that most successful companies value their employees, and do whatever they can to retain their best workers. That reality, of course, undercuts the relevance of unions. So what’s a union to do? Like their fellow travelers in the “man-made” global warming community, the unions know they have to indoctrinate the young with their propaganda. But when you’re dealing with kindergartners, you have to insert the concept of unionizing subtly into lessons. You’ll get blank stares if you talk about the virtues of Jimmy Hoffa or the Service Employees International Union. More News New Mexico

Alb Top Cop Says Department Stained
From KOAT-TV.com - Albuquerque's top law enforcement officer says the police department is facing serious problems. Public Safety Director Darren White called an unusual meeting of the police department's supervisor's Wednesday night, where he told them misconduct would not be tolerated. He told the Albuquerque Journal the conduct of many officers has put "a stain on the department." In the last 18 months, Albuquerque police have been involved in 18 shootings in which 13 suspects have been killed. Several officers have also posted offensive remarks on social media websites. And in April, an officer was charged with murdering his wife. Read more
Climatologist: Cap and trade does not make any real difference in fight against global warming
NewsNM - Swickard - Dr. Patrick Michaels spoke on News New Mexico Wednesday making most of these points. I for one was convinced that the effect of man is far less than the global folks are saying. From Capitol Report New Mexico.com - Climatologist Dr. Patrick J. Michaels acknowledges global temperatures have increased but maintains that fears about the effects of global warming are vastly overhyped and warns political pressure to make drastic changes to the US and the world economies constitutes an “invasion of our government and our lives.” Michaels, who is a senior fellow of environmental studies at the Cato Insitute (a libertarian think-tank based in Washington DC), spoke Wednesday night (June 22) in Albuquerque at a lecture sponsored by the Rio Grande Foundation. Among the topics Michaels touched on was the Waxman-Markey cap and trade bill that passed the US House of Representatives in 2009 but failed in the Senate. 
Michaels pointed to a graphic showing three scenarios: the effect on global temperatures if no cap and trade plan goes into effect, global temperatures if the US had instituted Waxman-Markey and global temperautres if all the countries participating in the the Kyoto Protocol had instituted the terms of Waxman-Markey. Here’s the chart Michaels says shows that if nothing is done, global temperatures rise by 1.58 degrees; that if the US implements the terms of Waxman-Markey the temperatures rise by 1.54 degrees and if all the Kyoto countries adopt the terms of Waxman-Markey temperatures rise 1.50 degrees Read more

Measuring how we measure what we need to measure
From NM Politics.net - During the recent race for New Mexico governor, then-candidate Susana Martinez talked often about bringing “short cycle assessments” to public education. She expressed frustration that New Mexico students are tested in the spring and then in September the results (often bad) are given to communities. The problem with a September release of test data is that it is too late to change any educational procedures to improve the students of that previous school year. The hay, so to speak, is already in the barn. And there is the rub for New Mexico public education. Much more valuable, as Governor Martinez correctly points out, would be the ability to predict with confidence which students were going to achieve success and importantly, which students need a special intervention right now if they are to get on grade level.
