School of Government and Public Policy

You can't talk about progressive issues without talking about public policy.

To maintain our non-profit status we need to refrain from taking sides with specific political candidates. We don't endorse candidates or bash candidates. But we can talk about issues, values, and priorities. We can also talk about the importance of government in our society, the role it should play, and the critical interaction between government, business, and our educational institutions.

Global Warming Fact or Fiction?

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

Do you believe in Global Warming? Well, just recently, snow piled up in Malibu, California while west Los Angeles saw hail for the first time in 20 years! Only three weeks ago, an unusual cold weather hit northern and central California, destroying over 1 billion dollars worth of crops. I believe that Global Warming is no longer a myth and has already become reality.

Black America Under Siege: Without and Within

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •  

First off, not all of White America is racist; neither is all of Black America demented enough to refer to itself by the n-word. Nonetheless, Black America is under siege both from without—external forces to the black community—and within—internal, destructive forces.
