Philadelphia: High school students walk out of class and march to City Hall to protest severe budget cuts and planned school closings, May 9, 2013.

The budget cuts are absolutely horrific. Here are some of the proposed changes:

• Schools with more than 1,000 students would no longer be required to have librarians or librarian assistants.
• Schools would no longer be required to have counselors, and counselors’ caseloads would no longer be capped.
• Teachers could be assigned to unlimited classes outside their subject area, and high school teachers could be assigned an extra class without pay.  There would be no limit on amount of consecutive time taught in a school day.
• There would be no limit on class size
• The district would no longer be required to provide copy machines, or “a sufficient number of instructional materials and textbooks.”
• Counselors would no longer be guaranteed to have rooms with privacy and confidentiality, a telephone, a locked filing cabinet and a door.

There’s more here.

notice most of the posters are children of color

I just want you to notice

My kid and her friends marched. She goes to CAPA, and as per usual, the arts are one of the areas being heavily defunded.

In a poor city in a poor country on a poor continent, there is a group of people with a singular purpose: to look rich.

Or, rather, to look good — and to fully embody the suave, elegant style that a wardrobe of three-piece suits, silk socks, fedoras and canes might suggest.

They are called sapeurs or members of the Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes (the Society of Tastemakers and Elegant People). And when they go out, they turn the streets of Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo, into a fashion runway.

The fact the people don’t like this movie baffles me.

This film is how I figured out that I like girls, and also Bjork.
