Our United States of Indebtedness
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32336-our-united-states-of-indebtedness
JP Sottile, Truthout: While the United States may be politically polarized,=
most Americans are economically united in a state of indebtedness. The fin=
ancialization of the US economy and most Americans' lack of liquid assets h=
ave made getting into debt all too common and allowed the financial industr=
y to profit off what we owe.=20
A Civil Rights Legacy Squandered? Bilingual Education and the Reauthorizati=
on of No Child Left Behind
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32286-a-civil-rights-legacy-squandere=
d-bilingual-education-and-the-reauthorization-of-no-child-left-behind
Paul J. Ramsey, Truthout: The transitioning of English learners to only Eng=
lish rather than cultivating their bilingualism has become the preferred pr=
actice. Many language scholars agree that bilingual education serves the ne=
eds of English learners better than ESL or English immersion programs.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32317-what-do-zombies-pandemics-and-the-=
price-of-eggs-have-in-common
Jay L. Zagorsky, The Conversation: The impact of millions of chickens dying=

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32319-the-rad-history-book-every-girl-an=
d-boy-should-have-on-their-bookshelf
Lindsey Weedston, YES! Magazine: With little women-centric media, Kate Scha=
tz and Miriam Klein Stahl set out to write "Rad American Women A-Z." The bo=
ok profiles 26 different women in US history, one for each letter in the al=

Alphabet: Less Than Meets the Eye
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32320-alphabet-less-than-meets-the-ey=
e
James Kwak, The Baseline Scenario: The reorganization of Google into Alphab=
et is supposed to have something to do with making the company "cleaner and=
more accountable," "empowering great entrepreneurs and companies," "improv=
ing transparency and oversight," blah blah blah. In itself, however, it doe=
s none of this.
Kenyan Pastoralists Fighting Climate Change Through Food Forests
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32322-kenyan-pastoralists-fighting-clima=
te-change-through-food-forests
Robert Kibet, Inter Press Service: Kenya's Samburu County is ravaged by rec=

nd many households without access to a daily meal. Now, locals are planting=
fruit-producing trees - dubbed food or garden forests - that are resistant=
to the harsh climate of the area.
How Did the Peruvian Government Legalize Mass Surveillance of Its People?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32324-how-did-the-peruvian-government-le=
galize-mass-surveillance-of-its-people
Katitza Rodriguez, Electronic Frontier Foundation: Under a new decree, the =
Peruvian government has shifted from surveillance of communications records=
based on individualized suspicion to the mass untargeted collection of com=
munications data of ordinary, non-suspect people. No wonder Peruvians call =
it the "Stalker Law."
A Welcome New Yardstick for Measuring CEO Greed
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32365-a-welcome-new-yardstick-for-measur=
ing-ceo-greed
Sam Pizzigati, OtherWords: Should US corporations have to annually reveal h=
ow much they pay their average workers compared to how much they pay their =
CEOs? In early August, SEC commissioners said yes, finally adopting a forma=
l rule that requires companies to start compiling CEO-worker pay ratio figu=
res in 2017.
Humanitarian Pauses in Yemen?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32332-humanitarian-pauses-in-yemen
Helen Lackner, openDemocracy: Daily life in Yemen, when not dodging the bul=
lets, shells and bombs, is made up of attempts at basic tasks of obtaining =
water, food and fuel, as well as earning an income.
