There's a reason for academics and the western media likening

what is happening in our homeland to all the

ugly chapters in history books.

This has always been a very, very difficult problem

with tremendous repression, but it's much worse today

than it has ever been.

It's our mission, and it's I think the shared mission

among all journalists, to pursue the truth

even when governments do everything in their power

to hide or ignore it.

We have to tell the world what's really happening

behind these closed doors in China.

Uyghur scholars, intellectual groups, Uyghur businessmen,

and religious figures, the elites, the brain of the

Uyghur society. They can lead, they can form thinking,

way of writing, way of acting.

These are very important people.

China targeted them because without the brain,

a society cannot function.

Nobody said no. Nobody said, you can't do that.

Nobody said that's unacceptable. Nobody said it's 2018,

we don't lock people up based on their race, or religion,

or ethnicity. There's nobody living in Xinjiang today,

or at least amoung Turkic muslim communities,

who are able to live outside this or insulated from

this kind of repression.

It is past time to take a stand.

Concerned governments, including muslim majority states,

should follow the United States lead in making public statements

of condemnation that would give hope to the Uyghurs around

the world. Hope is a necessary source of strength

in the face of opression.

WeHoTV NewsByte: Grading The Secretary of Education - Duration: 5:05.

This month, kids in West Hollywood, and across the country, headed back to class.

Now that school is back in session,

Professor Ciriaco would like to teach you the first lesson of the year:

Irony

The definition of irony is a situation in which something which was intended to have

a particular result, has the opposite result.

For example, there's Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, a woman with zero public school

experience, who is now in charge of overseeing our country's public schools.

For another example, there's Betsy DeVos, a woman charged with improving public school,

who's agenda is to dismantle public schools in favor of for-profit public schools.

Yet another example is, Betsy DeVos, who's job is to protect the rights of students,

but instead executes policies that endanger the rights of students.

That's irony.

Its also terrible.

The victims of her education policies are predominantly minorities, such as Trans students.

Last year, DeVos repealed the Obama-era policy that required schools to allow students to

use bathrooms and locker rooms according to genders in which they identify.

Then, this month it was discovered that, for extra credit, DeVos has been ignoring, and

in some cases completely throwing out, formal civil rights complaints filed by trans students.

It should be noted that, according to a national survey conducted by GLSEN, 75% of trans youth

feel unsafe at school.

And, according to the Trevor Project, 40% of Transgender adults have reported having

attempted suicide.

92% of these individuals attempted suicide before the age of 25.

If only there was someone whose job it was to protect these vulnerable students.

Oh wait, there is!

When it comes to protecting Trans students, Betsy-

you get an "F"!

Trans students aren't the only victims of DeVos' policies.

In May, DeVos told the House Committee on Education and the Workforce that schools can

decide to alert ICE if they think a student might be undocumented.

This is a glaring violation of Plyer vs Doe, where the Supreme Court ruled that the right

to a free public education extends to all young people, regardless of immigration status.

According to the Pew Research Center, in 2014, approximately 3.9 million school children

had undocumented parents, and about 725,000 of those children were undocumented themselves.

In the past, immigration authorities have arrested parents who's only crime is dropping

their kids off at school, which leads some families to have to choose between giving

their children an education, or risking deportation.

Hey Betsy, when it comes to protecting the rights of undocumented students

You get an "F"!

But at least we can rely on our Secretary of Education to protect the most vulnerable

students, those with special needs?

Nope.

Back in February, DeVos proposed a 2 year delay in executing another Obama-era rule

aimed at addressing the disproportionate identification of students of color in special education.

According to the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, African American

students are more than twice as likely as other students to be identified as having

emotional disabilities, whether the identification is accurate or not, which can lead to stigmatization

and exclusion from general education.

Similarly, Native American students are identified as as having learning disabilities at twice

the rate of other students.

Conversely, some students of color might actually be under identified for special education

services, and may not receive the resources they need.

Devos' indifference towards this important policy echoes last year's confirmation hearing.

When asked if she would enforce the Individuals with Disabilities Act, the nation's federal

special education law that ensures public schools serve the educational needs of students

with disabilities, her response was:

"Its best left to the States."

If you haven't taken Old Rich Lady Speak 101, let me translate it for you.

That was DeVos' way of saying "Thats not my job."

Actually Betsy, thats exactly your job.

The reason you aren't executing these student protection policies is

A).

You are too inept to do you job

B).

You don't care about minority students

Or C).

All of the Above.

Mike: Hey Betsy, I've graded your Final, and when

it comes to protecting minority students

You Fail!

How Smart is Cardi B? - Intelligence, Education and Her Story - Duration: 2:49.

How smart is Cardi B?

The glamorous lifestyle of today's hip-hop artists is constantly shoved in our faces,

thus leaving us wondering: how did they get to their position?

Is it luck or is it smarts?

Or both?

Cardi B is an artist whose intellect is questioned and is no exception to this phenomenon.

If you have been following the hip-hop scene over the last two years, you will know that

every radio station in America is playing her music.

Cardi B has gone on a meteoric rise that took her from actively participating in a gang

to the conquering the top of the charts like we've never seen before.

Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, or commonly known as Cardi B, was born in New York City on October

11, 1992.

From the beginning of her life, Cardi B has been faced with adversity.

Her parents were hard working laborers that would struggle to keep food on the table due

to the high cost of living in New York.

While she wasn't homeless by all means, she was not offered the opportunities that

many in America take for granted.

Throughout her adolescent years, Cardi B found herself involved with the wrong crowd due

to dreams of riches and in an interview, she admitted to participating in a gang but advised

others to avoid making the same mistakes.

After being an active gang member and getting shuffled through multiple jobs, she took up

stripping in order to sustain herself.

While most people would look down on the profession, Cardi B has publicly stated that stripping

had a major influence on her life.

The income she was able to bring in was significantly more than she could make elsewhere.

Cardi B used the money she earned from stripping to escape the cycle of poverty, eventually

saving enough money to enroll in a local college.

While Cardi B wouldn't be considered "book" smart by traditional standards, her escape

from poverty was not merely due to luck but can be attributed to her "street smarts"

and dedication.

Using the network she had created while participating in the gang and stripping, she was able to

obtain financing for her initial studio work.

Her persistence and raw talent enabled her to quickly capture the hearts of anyone who

listened to her music.

While she may not be able to do Calculus or advanced physics, we believe that Cardi B

should be someone who is considered "smart".

In all, Cardi B is a celebrity that has now become one of the top artists in America.

Her public feud with Nicki Minaj and marriage with Offset of the Migos are just part of

a wonderfully woven plan that has propelled her career right on top of Billboard's Hot

100.

One thing is for sure, while you may believe the act that she puts on looks dumb, you have

to admit that she is a self-made millionaire that has become a household name that continues

to capture America's heart.

How Smart is Cristiano Ronaldo? Intelligence, Education and His Story - Duration: 2:40.

How smart is Cristiano Ronaldo?

If you're a fan of football, you probably have heard of Cristiano Ronaldo.

From the moment Cristiano stepped on the field his coaches and audience knew he was bound

for greatness.

Even if you aren't an avid follower of the sport, you have probably seen the news headlines

of his record-breaking contracts and appearances on popular ads.

One thing is for certain, he has become a worldwide sensation and has become one of

the highest paid athletes in the world.

While his physical ability is amazing for sure, how smart is he?

An easy way to evaluate a person's intellectual ability is by finding out what level of education

they have.

In Ronaldo's case, it's not so black and white.

While he did not graduate from an elite college, his ability to leverage the connections he

gained from football into astronomical endorsement deals proves that he is not dim-witted.

Let's take a quick look at Ronaldo's life journey.

Ronaldo was born in Sao Pedro, Portugal to a family of 6.

From an early age, it became apparent that Ronaldo was destined to become a football

legend.

His parents worked to support Cristiano's football training, his father at one point

worked for the amateur team that he played for!

After progressing through the ranks of youth football, he quickly became the focus of many

scout's attention.

Eventually, after receiving a small contract with a local team, he and his scouts were

able to convince his mother to give her blessing for him to pursue football full-time.

While many would argue that his success on the football field can be attributed purely

to his talent, one must consider the attributes also required to be successful in any competitive

environment.

His ability to perform under pressure when the blame of a nation is at his heels can

be seen in the countless successful penalty kicks he has completed.

Ronaldo's fluidity with his team and ability to construct a planned attack with his teammates

shows great potential in terms of foresight and planning.

These attributes that he has displayed on the field can be directly related to many

activities that are considered "smart".

If these examples are not enough to convince you that Cristiano Ronaldo is smart, take

a look at his annual income.

The fact that almost half of the income he made in 2017 was from endorsement deals shows

that he is able to leverage the image he has built from his career in football.

The fact that he was born to a lower-class family to become one of the richest men in

the world in his life shows that not only he plays football well, but can also manage

money wisely.

Tar Heels & Bluegrass | TFB Global Ag Education Tour - Duration: 2:52.

10 days before Hurricane Florence ravaged the Carolinas,

Texas farmers & ranchers were there.

In North Carolina.

Experiencing agriculture in the Tar Heel State.

The crops here in North Carolina that are

unique to North Carolina particularly are tobacco,

sweet potatoes,

the livestock and poultry industry make up

two thirds of the farm income here in North Carolina.

North Carolina farmers were just

beginning to get whispers of a storm brewing.

But they still took time to meet with their Texas counterparts.

To show them crops not seen in the Lone Star State.

The North Carolina weather, being as hot as it is,

'cause sweet potatoes are a tropical plant,

they thrive in this kind of weather.

It's really neat to watch that grow and

like my dad has always said,

"It's underground so when you start digging them,

you don't really know what you're gonna get."

Most of the time it's a treasure.

These East Coast growers have some of the same

concerns and challenges as Texans.

Labor.

Water.

Regulations.

And a disconnect between the farmer and the average family.

Causing some to even take legal action against local growers.

Claiming they're a nuisance.

That's something that's quite worrisome for the rest of us

in agriculture,

because some of those farms were there

long before the folks that moved in and

decided to file that nuisance lawsuit.

A stop at Cotton Incorporated outside of Raleigh

was fascinating for farmers from

the nation's top cotton growing state.

Then it was time to trade hog barns for horse ranches.

As the Texans left North Carolina for Kentucky.

Once in the Bluegrass state, equine took center stage.

Both thoroughbreds near Lexington

and saddlebreds near Shelbyville.

The thoroughbreds mainly are for racing distances,

the saddlebreds are for showing.

Used to they would use the saddlebreds to go to town.

They're three to five gaited horses and they're easy riding.

The thoroughbreds strictly for racing.

But Kentucky agriculture isn't a one-trick pony.

Cattle & poultry are also important livestock

to the state.

A visit to Bluegrass Livestock Market showed the importance

of cows to Kentucky.

Plus this state of the art sale barn is used

for more than just a weekly auction.

While soybeans & corn may be Kentucky's top row crops,

there's another emerging plant.

Hemp.

Grown specifically for the cannabinoid CBD.

Arthritis, insomnia, anxiety,

there's just a number of different things that it is

anecdotally has proven that it is helpful with.

Because of hemp's infamous cousin,

farmers must have a license

through the Kentucky Department of Agriculture

to grow industrial hemp.

Different producers have different challenges

all over the United States

so getting to see that from North Carolina

to Kentucky

You get to see what they're dealing with,

and how we can kind of all come together to solve those problems.

Whether it was a roadside vegetable market,

a tobacco farm,

or a horse ranch,

the Texans felt right at home.

Because growers in all three states know

the bond of agriculture is one that doesn't end

at the state lines.

Exploring new Graduate Schools of Education (nGSEs) - Duration: 3:07.

People think it's important to think about how the nation's teachers are

educated, but they don't agree on how teachers should be recruited, how they should be prepared, and how they should be

socialized into the field of teaching.

Our study is about nGSEs or

new graduate schools of education:

Teacher preparation programs that have emerged in about the last twenty years, since the year 2000

as part of the larger education reform movement.

We have virtually no research about this new phenomenon.

We thought that that was a really interesting and

important and

controversial

innovation in teacher education that was worth studying. And the Spencer foundation agreed. We'll have four case

studies altogether. We're finding a lot of variation, but also finding some common features: new funding models

coupled with a practice-based approach and then a break from the knowledge traditions and

structures of the university. So we're seeing a really different

institutional environment

They are

accredited to

provide master's degrees to endorse teacher candidates. However, they're not affiliated with universities.

So they represent a major break from teacher education in the US over the last 50 to 70 years.

This is also different from fast-track entry routes and the one that everybody knows is Teach for America,

which is really much more of a recruiting

program.

There are so many providers and I think that has

created a situation where people are saying: we need to rethink what we're doing. Do we need to be more practice based?

Some people think these new graduate schools of education are a

dramatic revolution in teacher preparation.

Others have sharply critiqued teacher preparation at new graduate schools of education. Many of them are

intended to prepare teachers for

students in urban areas who are poor, or from low-income areas, or who are minoritized by the system.

So the critique has been this will simply reinforce the stratifications that already exists in our society and

reproduce the kinds of inequities that we already have. Now those are two really different kinds of conclusions.

Our goal is not to judge it, but to understand it from this insider's perspective.

Because it is a new phenomenon. We want to see what's really going on at new graduate schools of education

A Fierce Fight for Governor, Where Education May Make the Difference - Duration: 7:55.

- Next, how education is emerging as a flashpoint

in the midterm elections.

The issue is front and center

in the Wisconsin governor's race.

The Republican incumbent, Scott Walker,

is squaring off against the state's longtime

superintendent of schools.

Polls indicate the race is too close to call.

Special correspondent, Lisa Stark,

of our partner, Education Week,

went to Wisconsin for our weekly segment,

Making The Grade.

(drumming)

- [Lisa] It's a raucous welcome on the first day of school

at Maple Tree Elementary in Milwaukee.

- [Man] Welcome back!

(cheering)

- [Lisa] Students cheered on by city and district officials,

and Tony Evers,

Wisconsin's school chief and the Democratic candidate

for governor.

- Good morning, how are you?

- [Lisa] 20 miles away in the city of Waukesha,

the current governor,

Republican Scott Walker,

is opening the school year at La Casa de Esperanza,

a charter school.

(clapping)

Walker, running for his third term,

is getting an award from La Casa

for expanding school choice.

Education is a key issue in this race.

40% of voters say it's their first or second

most important concern,

edged out only by the economy.

- This is our message of the year.

I love my public school and I vote.

- [Lisa] Heather DuBois Bourenane heads

the Wisconsin Public Education Network,

a nonpartisan group that advocates for public schools.

- It's about making sure that whomever gets elected

is held accountable to the highest possible standard

of doing the right things for kids in schools.

- [Lisa] But how best to do the right things for students

is what's at stake in this election.

- You couldn't pick a starker difference.

- Two entirely different perspectives.

- [Lisa] On one side, Governor Walker,

who soon after taking office

slashed school spending to balance the state budget.

And he faced tens of thousands of protesters

after weakening unions,

pushing legislation known as Act 10,

that did away with most bargaining rights

for teachers and many other public employees.

The anger spilled over into a recall attempt,

which Walker survived.

- Did you guys go to Mars this morning?

- [Group] No.

- [Lisa] Now, Walker is campaigning

as the education governor,

after boosting state money for schools

by $636 million in his most recent budget.

Why are you the education governor?

- Again, because we've not only made

the largest historic investment in state history,

which is important, but because of Act 10.

Because of our reforms,

those dollars are overwhelmingly going in the classroom

where they have a real impact in student success.

- [Lisa] On the other side, Evers,

who's been the state schools chief for nine years.

He argues he's the real school champion,

calling for a big bump in education spending,

an extra $1.4 billion.

- Clearly, my lifelong journey has been

all about public education and being a teacher

and an administrator.

And, frankly, I fought for our schools

instead of bringing em down.

(cheering)

- [Lisa] School funding has been in political flashpoint

in more than half a dozen states this year

including West Virginia, Arizona, Oklahoma,

as teachers walked out to demand higher salaries

and more money for schools.

This passion still playing out in many of this year's

election races.

In Wisconsin, outside money is pouring into the race

from conservative and liberal groups.

Both candidates have taken to the airwaves.

- And I'll never play politics with our kids

or their schools.

- In Wisconsin, we're rethinking K-12 education.

- [Lisa] One of the big dividing lines, school choice.

Walker has expanded charters, and more significantly,

voucher programs which let lower-income parents

use state education dollars

to help pay private school tuition,

something Evers doesn't support,

says Jim Bender with School Choice Wisconsin.

- I think Superintendent Evers would be fine and dandy

having all the education reform models be gone

and everything just turned back to the same old,

district school, that's it, no innovation.

- [Lisa] But education professor Julie Underwood

calls Walker the private school governor

and says traditional public schools

are not benefiting from his policies.

- In 2011, we took the largest budget cut we've ever had

to public schools,

and that's never really been restored.

We've got schools who are

barely staying open.

They're worried about meeting children's needs.

And, to quote an old movie,

they're mad as hell and they're not gonna take it anymore.

- [Lisa] In a recent poll,

61% of voters said it was more important

to increase spending on public schools

than to cut property taxes.

What does that say to you?

- It says fund our schools.

People are begging for it.

People are passing referenda,

voting to raise taxes on themselves

to keep their schools in business at record rates.

- [Lisa] Governor Walker believes the property tax measures

are passing for a different reason.

- And we've done such a good job at cutting property taxes

that it's no longer a factor,

as much as it once was.

- [Lisa] Both candidates are pointing fingers at each other

over Wisconsin's achievement gap.

Perhaps the worst in the nation.

Black students do not do as well academically

as white students.

Evers says he's proposed fixes.

Walker hasn't funded them.

- We need to continue to work on that issue

going forward in this state,

and we will.

But, we have to have a properly funded system

in order to make that happen.

We can't take money away and expect people

to have miracles happen in their classrooms.

- [Lisa] But Mark Morgan,

who heads the state Republican Party,

blames Evers's leadership.

- Evers has failed to act multiple times in fixing

either failing schools or taking bad teachers

out of the classrooms.

- [Lisa] And that controversial Act 10 law.

Passed seven years ago,

it's still creating waves.

Walker supporters say districts free from union contracts

can now reward top teachers.

(singing)

But opponents,

who still gather at the capitol every workday,

argue teacher retirements and turnover are up,

leaving less experience in the classroom.

♪ Walker won't be ♪

♪ Governor someday ♪

♪ Someday soon ♪

- [Lisa] The race has gotten contentious.

Walker accuses Evers of failing to fire a teacher

who viewed pornography at school.

- [Narrator] Tony Evers should have revoked

the teacher's license.

But he didn't.

- [Woman] Have you seen these false attack ads?

- [Lisa] Evers argues state law at the time

didn't allow him to do so.

- That's why Tony Evers worked with both parties

to change the law.

- [Lisa] Even as this battle heats up,

educators are putting their efforts

into getting students settled for the new school year.

- Catch it!

Say your name.

- Dion.

- [Lisa] Trying to tune out the political noise,

says La Casa school leader,

Maria Ayala.

- We need to get away from all of the politics

and really focus in on the children.

What are their needs?

What can we do for them and for their families?

(children chattering)

- [Lisa] A focus that will continue long after Election Day.

- There you go, you gotta work together.

- [Lisa] For Education Week,

and the PBS NewsHour,

I'm Lisa Stark in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

- It's great having that report from Wisconsin.
