    Our Courts is a free, interactive, web-based program designed to teach students civics and inspire them to be active participants in our democracy. Our Courts is the vision of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who is concerned that students are not getting the information and tools they need for civic participation, and that civics teachers need better materials and support. On this site, you will find information and useful teaching resources for an engaging civics curriculum.

      awesome article
  • Here’s the real question we need to ask these people. We live in America, so why do we have to vote for evil, period? Why is evil the only option on the ballot? What’s the point of democracy if it means rule by the people, represented by evil. The reason evil is the only option is because somewhere in our country’s history, the political elite decided that the masses are holistically retarded, and all voting issues should be limited to a color-coded choice between red and blue.

Maine Librarian's Pointed Budget Message Hits the Mark | Common Dreams - 5 views

  • Then along came Kelley McDaniel of Portland -- No. 48 on the day's speaker list.
  • She's a part-time librarian at King Middle School -- and a very good one at that
  • Talk about a teachable moment.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • She gave the whole five grand, after taxes, to her school. If you live in Portland, that's your school, too.
  • Maybe you're testing us, checking to see if we, your constituents, are really paying attention, really listening," she continued. "I hope that's what's going on, because the alternative involves me losing faith in representative government, in democracy and in you, the elected officials."
  • But as McDaniel gathered her daughter for the ride home to Portland, a proud young Aedin said she noticed something about her mother's testimony that she hadn't seen with the other speakers. "All of the people on the committee -- they weren't on their computers or looking at their papers while you were talking," Aiden told her mother. "That's because you were using your teacher voice." A teacher voice. Now more than ever, it's worth a few minutes of Maine's time.
