Links to Organizations and Agencies that CARE!

There are a few American organizations (click here for international organizations) that really DO EXIST to assist teachers (and others) in crisis or also have an interest in exposing the blatant corruption in our schools.  The organizations listed here have demonstrated integrity to help those in need.

bulletThe Bully Busters! -  Check out the Campaign Against Workplace Bullying that serves to educate others about the harm that is being done in the workplace. This is an excellent resource for those that are genuinely concerned about ethical treatment of all individuals.
bulletCalifornia Association for Parent-Child Advocacy (CAPCA) - This organization emerged from successful efforts to prevent disastrous changes in special education law in California and was founded by Kathryn Dobel and Maureen Graves (the WONDERFUL Attorney who prevailed in the case against Lozano Smith - one of California's Largest "Law Firms" that "represents" school districts against teachers and parents) created CAPCA to oppose legislative changes regarding shortening statute of limitations and reversing the burden of proof for special education hearings.
bulletCharacter Education Center. The Character Education Center is an organization that is dedicated to promoting positive solutions and resources for pre-school through grade 12 students on how to deal effectively with making the right decision in even the most difficult situations. Their book store has many fine resources.
bulletThe Geobopological Survey Site - Be sure to explore this site as it details HORRORS in Seattle, Washington Schools. It also covers the GROSS hypocrisy of Al Gore's "interest" in education. (Al Gore, as part of the Clinton Administration, has REFUSED to acknowledge the horrors of racism and discrimination within our "National Blue Ribbon Schools." Al Gore has also IGNORED the epidemic of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that destroys the lives of so many fine educators. BTW, isn't "mental health" one of Tipper's "pet projects" - guess that must just be another fraud funded by the corrupt National Education A$$ociation!
bulletSUBSTANCE: The Newspaper of Public Education in Chicago - While this OUTSTANDING newspaper primary deals with the horrors within Chicago Public Schools, it would be safe to say the it also presents an accurate view of what REALLY occurs in many, many American schools today. (Substance is currently working on a web site and a link will be provided as soon as it is available. Until then, contact [and subscribe] Substance at: 5132 W. Berteau Ave., Chicago, IL 60641-1440, Phone: (773) 725-7502, FAX: (773) 725-7503
bulletAssociation of American Educators an organization that appears to be dedicated to placing children FIRST and taking the politics out of our schools.
bulletAssociation for Union Democracy (AUD) "is the only national, pro-labor, non-profit organization dedicated solely to advancing the principles and practices of democratic trade unionism in the North American labor movement. It is the premise of AUD that internal democracy makes unions stronger and better able to fight for the rights and interests of working people. We provide organizing, educational, and legal assistance to those fighting for greater membership control of their unions." This is also to place to go if you want to order the latest financial records about your (corrupt?) union. AUD provides you with the COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS to order your set today (ASEE has!) and find out how your union dues are used to fatten the hogs! 
bulletThe Learning Disabilities Association of California - This is an excellent resource for those who are genuinely concerned with assisting those with learning disabilities! 
bulletA Critical Look at the National Education A$$ociation by "Citizen Link" - A web site of Focus on the Family.
bulletDr. Standler, Attorney and Former Professor, concentrating in higher-education law, among other things. Dr. Standler provides several, very interesting articles on his site; some of these include essays on:
bulletEducational Malpractice,
bulletThe Moral Rights of Authors, and
bulletPlagiarism in Colleges in the USA,
bulletEducation Policy Institute - Take a look at this one if you are concerned with unethical practices within the National Education A$$ociation!
bulletFairTest: The National Center for Fair and Open Testing - Another HIGH POWERED Website for "an advocacy organization working to end the abuses, misuses and flaws of standardized testing and ensure that evaluation of students and workers is fair, open, and educationally sound." Wow!
bulletGovernment Corruption - Another fabulous site regarding corruption in our government. While this site deals primarily with the United States Department of Commerce (Do they "regulate" the education "industry?"), there is plenty of information here to assist anyone willing to blow the whistle on government corruption of any kind!
bulletInstitute for Public Accuracy - An organization that is devoted to gaining the attention of the media for issues, such as school corruption and the harassment of teachers, that is often more concerned with selling newspapers, than with issues that negatively impact our society.
bulletMothers from Hell 2 - Wow! Parents, are you tired of being shafted by corrupt school administrators who are more concerned with stroking their own week egos and balancing budgets to keep their useless positions rather than assisting the children they are supposed to serve? If so, you should visit this site! Be sure to visit ASEE's page, created in support of this courageous group, for additional information. Don't let the morons running our schools railroad your special needs child - this site will certainly help you make the corrupt administrators in your school dance! 
bulletNational Whistleblower Center - This site is a MUST read if you are about to expose the corruption you are aware of.
bulletThe Sacramento Learning Disabilities Association - This is an outstanding, parent organized watchdog group designed to protect the rights of children.
bulletTeacher Choice: Alexis de Tocqueville Institution - WOW! TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ONE if you're interested in some fiscal horrors about the NEA and assorted other cesspools of unethical behavior! Their page defines these as " the 'education blob' [which is] a coalition of 39 organizations, employing more than 3,000 people and carrying budgets exceeding $700 million. These groups are incestuous; mixing and matching resources and staff regularly."
bulletRethinking Schools - "Founded in 1986 by activist teachers, Rethinking Schools is a nonprofit, independent publisher of educational materials. We advocate the reform of elementary and secondary education, with a strong emphasis on issues of equity and social justice."
bulletThe Rouge Forum - "a group of educators, students, and parents seeking a democratic society. We are concerned about questions like these: How can we teach against racism, national chauvinism and sexism in an increasingly authoritarian and undemocratic society?"
bulletSave Our Children - "Today, more and more cases of child neglect and/or child abuse (be it physical, sexual, mental or emotional) are coming before the Courts of this land. Wrapped in the guise of 'fairness to the accused,' our laws originally adopted to protect our children are being systematically "twisted" and weakened. Our system today allows these injustices to continue to the severe detriment of those who will, one day, be asked to pick up our dreams and carry them forward along with their own."
bulletSpecial Needs and Special Gifts - An exemplary site, run by a parent advocate, provides extraordinary guidance to those that are seeking assistance for their special needs children. This site also contains information regarding victories, on behalf of students, made in claims filed with the United States Department of Education.
bulletWrightslaw.com - Finally, a law firm that cares about the needs of children. This site has a wealth of information on the abuses in American Schools.

Other Links

bulletColor Wheel Pro - a program that allows you to create color schemes and preview them on real examples.
bulletCapella University dot Org - Education in American Schools is already in a dismal state - this site documents the grossly unethical practices at an entirely on-line university that also offers degrees in education. We can only hope that such schools do not gain any ground in training future teachers.
bullet Capella University Sucks - Another web site on Capella University - this one documents the horrendous problems with online software accessibility.
