Chicago Teachers Strike for Fair Contract (but Really for Better Schools)
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11497-chicago-teachers-strike-for-fair-contract-but-really-for-better-schools
David Moberg, In These Times: "Early this morning, Chicago teachers organized picket lines at all entrances to William H. Ray Elementary School in Hyde Park, on the city's South Side.... At its heart, the strike is over the union's deep opposition to what it calls a 'corporate reform agenda' that pursues a competitive or punitive relationship with teachers, rather than a collaborative one."

Alan Cowell, Peter Baker and David D. Kirkpatrick, The New York Times News Service: "The Obama administration suspects that the fiery attack in Libya that killed the American ambassador and three other diplomats may have been planned, rather than a spontaneous mob getting out of control.... Officials in Washington studying the events of the past 24 hours have focused on the differences between the protests on the American embassy in Cairo and the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, the Libyan city where Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and the other Americans were killed."

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11482-greg-palast-the-worst-teacher-in-chicago

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11471-chris-hedges-vs-crimethinc-on-violence-will-we-get-the-debate-we-deserve

Ex-Workers Collective], which centers on the role of violence in protests, is a tremendous opportunity, but only if we concede that we don't yet know how to win. If we don't start with this simple, brutal fact, it risks degenerating into one more spectacle to keep us mesmerized as the world burns."
