http://truth-out.org/news/item/22056-the-myth-behind-public-school-failure

http://truth-out.org/news/item/22058-is-obamacare-bad-news-for-the-its-hard-to-find-good-help-crowd
Dean Baker, Truthout: Obamacare might be the best news on the wage front that most workers have seen for some time.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/22054-edward-snowdens-moral-courage
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: Moral courage is always defined by the state as treason. It is the courage to act and to speak the truth. Daniel Ellsberg had it. Martin Luther King had it. What those in authority once said about them, they say today about Edward Snowden.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/22062-the-bleached-bones-of-the-dead-what-the-modern-world-owes-slavery
Greg Grandin, TomDispatch: "How would we calculate the value of what we today would call the intellectual property generated by slavery's suffering? I'm not sure. But a revival of efforts to do so would be a step toward reckoning with slavery's true legacy: our modern world."
