hillary clinton israeli education program

shared by mcooka on 10 Feb 16 - No Cached
  • ch week in Israel, young parents open their homes to local instructors who teach them how to prepare their toddlers for school.
  • In her bid for the Democratic nomination, Clinton rarely misses an opportunity to tout her record on early childhood education, from her first job out of law school at the Children’s Defense Fund to her Too Small To Fail program at The Clinton Foundation.
  • The story of how Clinton brought the Israeli education program to America starts with a coincidence.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • In 1969, an Israeli educator named Avima Lombard conceived the program as a way to help the children of North African immigrants get a head start in the Israeli school system
  • Clinton’s associates in Arkansas apparently had a similar reaction when she told them they would have to travel to the Holy Land for HIPPY training: “‘Israel! Where is Israel?’”
  • HIPPY has been studied widely in academic and research settings.
  • But the two strong personalities also clashed occasionally. For several years, Lombard demanded that certain HIPPY USA staff members receive training in Israel. As the program grew, this practice became expensive and unsustainable, leading HIPPY USA to start training staff in Arkansas.
  • In 1998, Hillary Clinton visited a HIPPY event in Jerusalem while accompanying her husband when he was president. It was around holiday time, and Clinton was photographed with HIPPY children and their mothers.

    This article written by Hillary E. Crawford explains to us some ways we can help Egyptian women fight for equality. She continues to explain that Egypt, on their own, are making small strides. "In September 2014, Egypt's parliament acknowledged the prevalence of sexual violence toward women by creating an Interior Ministry unit that installed street cameras to better monitor and prevent sexual attacks."

    One issue that is repeatedly injected into 2016 Presidential race are the events that occurred in Benghazi. Politics aside, it is important to remember the profound effects that events within the Middle East have around the world and in our political discourse.

    I really appreciated how in-the-loop the Jerusalem Post keeps its readers in Israel. They have their own section on their main website dedicated to U.S. Elections, w/recent news about our candidates and the primaries. There are actually some really good articles on here written about Bernie vs. Hillary and its interesting to read from a different stance other than America's.

    While once a popular idea, getting rid of Gaddafi now seems like it could have been more of a blunder. Hillary Clinton is widely given credit for supporting this regime change which has now led to challenges not only for Libya but for the world. ISIS has found a new base for operations against Europe and a new government has been unable to take shape. This article looks at how choices, especially those that seem appropriate at the time, may turn out to be disastrous.
