Presidents don't make any decision on that, I was a governor 10 1/2 years [...] I actually dealth with education in a very intense way [...] Nobody ever asked me to design a curriculum for the science textbooks in our schools. Never. Why it continues to come up when I'm a candidate for the presidency, when a president has nothing to do with a curriculum of a school is beyond me. But I think if you're going to ask me that question, you must ask it of every other candidate and get their answers, but I've said for the record, and I'll say again. I believe in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [CROWD: Amen.] I've been unequivocal about that, and I'll remain to be faithful to that view. As I said, I wasn't there when he did it, so how he did it, I don't know. And I'm not going to try to dictate to the science curriculum how it's taught [...] What I believe is not what's going to be taught in the 50 different states, each who design their own curriculum. I believe that education is a state function, not a federal."</p> <p>LABEL: MH IA 12-4 (JJ#5) PLM-clipC</p> <p>To download the high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/192qnej2yf <br />To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/2gl9d3lzvv</p> </div> <a href="/blog/60483-mike-huckabee-press-avail-12-4-07">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/59884-kulture-clash-international-presents-u-can 2008-12-02T20:41:16Z KultureClash <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wmwP_UeKFmA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wmwP_UeKFmA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/59884-kulture-clash-international-presents-u-can"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/73799" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>(U-CAN!)United College Action Network, a california Non-Profit 501(c) organization founded in 1988 based in California offers students the opportunity to gain admittance to a 4-year (HBCU)Historically Black College or University.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/59884-kulture-clash-international-presents-u-can">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/56977-afghan-children-struggle-for-an-education-11-oct-08 2008-11-01T09:30:31Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mPBit1luN8A&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mPBit1luN8A&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/56977-afghan-children-struggle-for-an-education-11-oct-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/69263" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Seven years after the removal of the Taliban, Afghanistan is still beset by security problems. <br />  <br />Since then, girls who were banned from school under the previous regime have been able to return to their studies. <br />  <br />But now Taliban attacks have forced many schools to close.</p> <p>Dan Nolan reports.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/56977-afghan-children-struggle-for-an-education-11-oct-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/52862-riz-khan-schools-killing-creativity-10-sep-08-part-2 2008-10-30T21:29:22Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/svRV8k-ARkE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/svRV8k-ARkE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/52862-riz-khan-schools-killing-creativity-10-sep-08-part-2"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/64121" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Education is a terrible way to find out what you're good at.

What is your feeling about No Child Left Behind?"</p> <p>JOHN MCCAIN: "Thank you. By the way, did I mention that Cindy was a teacher of special education before I took her out of that honest line of work?</p> <p>MCCAIN: "[...] I think No Child Left Behind needs to be fixed. However, I think it was a right beginning. I think we need to be able to judge [...] students' performance all over America. [...] But now [...] we need to go back and sit down together again Republican and Democrat and fix what needs to be fixed. </p> <p>MCCAIN: "And [...] some of what needs to be fixed is more full funding for some of the programs that were never adequately funded, as you know. Including special education. Including this terrible problem that you're very aware of in this rise in autism amongst children in America. It's a terrible thing that's happening. And it's going to require additional educational capabilities.</p> <p>MCCAIN: "So I want to fix it but I also have to give you a little more straight talk. I'm for choice and competition. Now Cindy and I had the money to send—the ability to send our kids to Catholic school. I want every American to be able to send their child to the school of their choice. </p> <p>MCCAIN: "[...] Charter schools work. Charter schools are good competition. Some of them don't work. Some of them don't work, so they should fail. But if you look at New York City today and if you look at New Orleans [...] New York City's education has improved rather dramatically. And also, New Orleans because they had to start from Square One because of the tragedy of Katrina; they know have 30 charter schools there. And the quality of education is improving.</p> <p>MCCAIN: "Learn the lessons of No Child Left Behind. Fix the problem. Reward good teachers. Find bad teachers another line of work. Fix education, which is the future of America."</p> <p>LABEL: JM OH 7-9 (SD#25) GHBST-ClipE</p> </div> <a href="/blog/45268-john-mccain-town-hall-meeting-07-09-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45189-israeli-army-shuts-palestinian-shops-and-schools-09-jul-08 2008-10-27T15:30:14Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/18O5dtQYMM0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/18O5dtQYMM0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/45189-israeli-army-shuts-palestinian-shops-and-schools-09-jul-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/52078" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The Israeli army has raided City Hall in the West Bank town of Nablus, as part of a crackdown on organisations it says are linked to Hamas. </p> <p>Troops have been shutting down schools, shops and charities as part of a campaign that the Palestinian prime minister says is badly undermining his government. </p> <p>David Chater reports.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/45189-israeli-army-shuts-palestinian-shops-and-schools-09-jul-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/44490-john-mccain-press-conference-12-11-07 2008-11-30T22:13:03Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6TljFjWYAoA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6TljFjWYAoA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/44490-john-mccain-press-conference-12-11-07"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50878" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Press Conference <br />Greenville, SC 12/11/07</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />JOHN MCCAIN: "I would emphasize completely choice and competition in education.

I'm for vouchers, I'm for chartered schools, I'm for rewarding good teachers and finding bad teachers another line of work, I think that, in my home state of Arizona, my friends, we have had a dramatic increase in chartered schools, some have failed, some have failed, but it provided competition for the public schools, and the public schools have gotten better. If you want to home school your child I'm for it. If you want to have a voucher and take your child to a school of your choice I'm for that too. And by the way, on the issue of No Child Left Behind, it's full of faults and it needs to be fixed. But to scrap it - we go back to where we were before.
