Minnesota Law Substitutes Military Test for Graduation Requirement
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21503-minnesota-law-substitutes-military-test-for-graduation-requirement
Pat Elder, Truthout: In Minnesota, radical changes to graduation testing requirements make it easier for high school students' personal information to be sent to military recruiters without parental consent. There are no privacy protections built into Minnesota's new law.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21526-calvin-and-jobs-why-the-right-hates-but-still-needs-social-welfare

http://truth-out.org/news/item/21603-apple-meets-its-worst-nightmare-federally-appointed-antitrust-lawyer-hell-bent-on-doing-his-job
Lynn Parramore, AlterNet: Why has Apple become so secretive and combative? Perhaps the company is nervous because it is actually becoming a giant, monopolistic rip-off machine and doesn't want you to know what kind of tricks it is up to.

Rethinking Economics: From the UK, a Global Student Movement Takes Shape
http://truth-out.org/news/item/21605-rethinking-economics-from-the-uk-a-global-student-movement-takes-shape
Ruby Russell, Occupy.com: When the financial crisis hit in 2007, economics students around the world found that theories handed down in classrooms failed to explain the reality outside, and an international movement began to demand a change in the way economics is taught.
The "Skills Gap" Is a Convenient Myth
http://truth-out.org/news/item/21611-skills-gap-a-convenient-myth
Toni Gilpin, Labor Notes: When skilled slots do go unfilled, it's because employers seek high-value workers at discount rates. It's hypocritical for employers to bemoan the shortage of skilled labor while they lay off workers and pay less to those they retain.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21617-left-out-of-obamas-commission-on-elections-race
Brentin Mock, Demos: "I'm not sure how you can talk and walk around race, when in North Carolina right now, it's easier for a black teenager to go to jail than it is for him to vote."
Haiti: Billions in Aid, Pennies in Progress Since Earthquake
http://truth-out.org/news/item/21607-haiti-billions-in-aid-pennies-in-progress-since-earthquake
Nathalie Baptiste, Foreign Policy in Focus: Four years since its devastating earthquake, progress in Haiti is slow and reconstruction efforts are lacking at best.
