http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11530-on-the-significance-of-the-chicago-teachers-strike-bearing-witness-to-and-challenging-democracys-demise
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: "Under the guise of austerity measures, the burden of deficit reduction now becomes an excuse to remove public education from the discourse of freedom and social transformation.... The brave teachers in Chicago have had enough of this authoritarian and anti-democratic view of education. They have revolted in the name of a revolutionary ideal that inserts dignity and power back into teaching, and breathes vitality and substance back into the relationship between education and democracy."

http://truth-out.org/news/item/11532-egypt-hearing-from-obama-moves-to-heal-rift-from-protests
Mark Landler, David D. Kirkpatrick and Helene Cooper, The New York Times News Service: "[Egyptian President Mohamed] Morsi offered condolences for the American ambassador killed in Libya, in a parallel protest over the same video, and he vowed to bring charges against those who had scaled the embassy walls in Cairo. At the same time, however, he was also careful to stress the legitimacy of the protesters' grievances."

Mitt Romney, Monsanto Man
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11531-mitt-romney-monsanto-man
Wayne Barrett, The Nation: "[Mitt Romney's] ties to Monsanto ... whose dark history features scandals involving PCBs, Agent Orange, bovine growth hormone, NutraSweet, the IUD [and] genetically modified (GM) seed and herbicides, [reaches] back to the 1970s and '80s. That's when Monsanto was the largest consulting client of Romney's employer, Bain & Company, and when Romney helped move Monsanto from chemical colossus to genetic giant, trading one set of environmental controversies for another."

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11538-five-so-called-liberal-pundits-who-are-attacking-teachers
Sarah Jaffe, AlterNet: "Chicago's teacher strike is shaping up to be one of the most important labor actions in a generation. So why are people who consider themselves progressives siding with the bosses?"

http://truth-out.org/news/item/11549-judge-blocks-ndaa-indefinite-detention-clause-truthout-foia-cited-in-testimony
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "Information revealed by a Truthout Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was included in testimony presented to a federal judge in New York City who ruled this week to permanently block the United States military from enforcing part of a law allowing it to indefinitely detain anyone - including US citizens - accused of aiding terrorist organizations."
Echoing ALEC's Playbook: The Real Story of Scott Walker's Tort "Reform"
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11536-echoing-alecs-playbook-the-real-story-of-scott-walkers-tort-reform
Lisa Graves, PRWatch: "Walker campaigned for office on claims he would create at least 250,000 jobs in the state by the end of his term, but the first act introduced and passed in his administration was not actually a bill to bring or increase jobs in the state. Instead, it limits the legal liability of corporations located anywhere in the world whose products harm Wisconsin residents."
Robert Reich | The Wrong Way to Save Money on Health Care
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11535-the-wrong-way-to-save-money-on-health-care
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "When it comes to health insurance, employees increasingly have to choose between health insurance policies with sky-high premiums, or with sky-high co-payments and deductibles. And since they can't afford the former they're opting for the big co-payments and deductibles - or no insurance at all."
Uncle Sam Is Watching You: Stop FISA Renewal
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11540-uncle-sam-is-watching-you
Shahid Buttar, People's Blog for the Constitution: "This week, Congress prepares to abuse the Constitution again, by extending its 2008 amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). With the House of Representatives poised to vote ... on a premature five-year extension, will members remember what they heard when theatrically reading the constitution on the House floor, or instead entrench the Bush-Cheney legacy beyond even the next administration?"

Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service News: "Lt. Gen. William B. Caldwell, the former commander of NATO's training mission in Afghanistan, denied to a US Congressional panel Wednesday that he had cited the impact on Congressional elections in opposing the timing of a request for an investigation of high-level Afghan military corruption and its impact on neglect of patients at the Afghan National Military Hospital (NMH) two years ago."
