The Los Angeles Unified School District is facing a $640 million budget shortfall, but you'd never know it by looking at its newest school. The Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools complex will be the nation's most expensive public school when it opens next month, clocking in at $578 million. It features fine art murals, a marble RFK memorial, a public park, a state-of-the-art pool—and it's housed in the former Ambassador Hotel, site of RFK's assassination, the AP reports. LA Unified has debuted two other "Taj Mahal" schools—ones costing $100 million or more—in the past two years ... while laying off almost 3000 teachers. Dozens of these palace-like schools exist nationwide, and include such essentials as atriums, orchestra pits, food courts, and bamboo nooks. Proponents say students learn better in more pleasant surroundings—but one critic notes, "when they're run by the same people who've given us a 50% dropout rate, they're a big waste of taxpayer money."

"STOP SPENDING" T-SHIRTS @ executees.net More Video: www.dailymotion.com The Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools has an eye-popping price tag of $578 million, it will mark the inauguration of the nation's most expensive public school ever. The K-12 complex to house 4200 students has raised eyebrows across the country as the creme de la creme of "Taj Mahal" schools, $100 million-plus campuses boasting both architectural panache and deluxe amenities. "There's no more of the old, windowless cinderblock schools of the '70s where kids felt, 'Oh, back to jail,'" said Joe Agron, editor-in-chief of American School & University, a school construction journal. "Districts want a showpiece for the community, a really impressive environment for learning." Not everyone is similarly enthusiastic. "New buildings are nice, but when they're run by the same people who've given us a 50 percent dropout rate, they're a big waste of taxpayer money," said Ben Austin, executive director of Parent Revolution who sits on the California Board of Education. "Parents aren't fooled." At RFK, the features include fine art murals and a marble memorial depicting the complex's namesake, a manicured public park, a state-of-the-art swimming pool and preservation of pieces of the original hotel. Partly by circumstance and partly by design, the Los Angeles Unified School District has emerged as the mogul of Taj Mahals. The RFK complex follows on the heels of two other LA schools among the nation's costliest ...

David Axelrod, Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama, graduated Stuyvesant High School in 1972. At a young age, he developed an interest in politics, campaigning for Robert F. Kennedy when was 13. Axelrod attended the University of Chicago, majoring in political science, and went on to spearhead the campaigns of many major politicians, including Harold Washington, the first African-American mayor of Chicago, and John Edwards, during his 2004 presidential run. Axelrod is perhaps most well-known, though, for his work on Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. He returned to New York City on June 24, 2010 to deliver the keynote address to his alma mater's graduating class. Watch Part I here: www.youtube.com

The Aaron Wildavksy Forum - Professor Katherine Newman: Taxing the Poor: The Role of Consumption Taxes in Regional Poverty Regimes Professor Katherine Newman, Princeton University, Goldman School of Public Policy We examine the strange history of state and local tax policy and then ask what difference it has made and is making now for the poor in different regions of the country. We will explore the ways in which depressing the income of poor households through taxation contributes to early mortality, lower educational attainment, out of wedlock childbearing, and higher crime. Finally, the question of what regressive states are losing in the form of human capital or bearing in the way of health costs and incarceration must be considered, at the same time that we come to grips with what regressive taxation at the state and local level costs the rest of the country. Speaker: Katherine S. Newman is the Malcolm Forbes Class of 1941 Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs and the Director of the Institute for International and Regional Studies at Princeton University. Formerly the Dean of Social Science at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University and the Malcolm Wiener Professor of Urban Studies in the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Newman is the author of nine books on topics ranging from urban poverty to middle class economic insecurity to school violence. Her most recent book (in collaboration with Elisabeth Jacobs) is Who Cares? Public ...

In this Travel Bug Robert episode, Robert travels to the unique McMenamins Kennedy School in Portland, Oregon. Ever thought it would be a good idea to buy an elementary school and turn it into a hotel and microbrewery? Well, someone beat you to it. That already exists in Portland. You can sleep in a refurbished classroom, watch second run movies in the school's auditorium, and drink some high quality microbrews in several bars and restaurants "on campus." And the best part is you don't even need a hall pass. Get more travel tips and videos at www.travelbugrobert.com.

Sustainability, by one definition, means development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. Other understandings contest this definition, asking whether it is too centered on human needs and marginalizes the needs of other planetary inhabitants.

We seek the sharing of perspectives on this vital responsibility via a range of formats, including panels, poster sessions, workshops, and roundtables that address the scientific, humanistic, political, economic, and ecological challenges and opportunities of true Sustainability.

This study of the autopsy photos finds that JFK was shot FOUR times from the right front by at least three different guns none of which were fired from the Sixth Floor School Book Depository. If any one of these bullets occurred as supported by the evidence of the autopsy photos a conspiracy existed. Oswald also fired three additional shots one of which struck Connally in the back without hitting JFK thus creating confusion. At least seven bullets were fired November 22, 1963. Given Oswalds shooting record and the condition of the Carcano it is clear that Oswald was never intended to actually shoot JFK or even hit the car. Oswald was intended as a patsy to divert attention away from the true assassins by blaming Russia or Cuba. The lone nut gunman was a possible cover story but only if the evidence could be controlled and suppressed. Steps were taken to control news media, witnesses and physical evidence on the first day shaping the lone nut three shots myth. If the myth failed for any reason the primary cover story would be that Oswald was working as a communist agent with others. On Friday night a full complete autopsy was performed in preparation of being used at Oswalds trial. The autopsy found the four bullet wounds from the right front as described above. The Kennedy family was informed of the findings as was President Johnson and Hover of the FBI but orders for secrecy were given to all others in the interest of national security. On Sunday Oswald was killed. A ...

***RATE & SHARE PLEASE**** Schools Lie to Parents and Children, Say Vaccinations are Mandatory Summer is coming to a close and public schools all over the country are re-opening to welcome students back into classrooms, but not before they have gotten their shots. Schools everywhere tell parents that their children are must have some nearly 40 vaccines before they can "legally" be permitted to attend school. This is all a lie. There has never been a law that one has to be vaccinated to attend public schools. School districts across the country have policies that have been deceptively concocted by the Federal government to appear to reflect the law but these policies merely reflect the color of the law. They are frauds. For the last three years, the country marks mid-summer by the start of an ominous drumbeat: Announcements reminding parents to vaccinate their children are on the radio and plastered across the front pages of newspapers. They festoon public parks and swimming pools.
