  • 27 JUNE 2009 -- PHOENIX, AZ: A member of ACORN march around the capitol to protest cuts in education funding during a march at the Arizona state capitol Saturday. Arizona has the second worst state budget deficit in the country (only California's is worst) and the Republican controlled legislature is threatening to balance the budget by making massive cuts in social and education spending while cutting taxes. Small numbers of public school teachers and parents of public school students have been marching on the capitol almost every day of the week but Saturday's march, with well over 500 people was the largest of session. The legislature and Gov. Jan Brewer, also a Republican, are deadlocked in negotiations and the Governor has threatened to shut down state government on July 1 if there is no budget. Republican leaders in the legislature are threatening to present the Governor with a budget, without input from the Governor's office, at midnight on June 30, forcing her to sign the budget to keep the state open.

  • 17 FEBRUARY 2021 - DES MOINES, IOWA: A student wearing a mask and social distancing talks to her fourth grade classmates at Walnut Street School in downtown Des Moines about her father's work as an artist. Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS) opened to in person education this week after teaching most of the 2020-2021 school year either remotely or with a hybrid/remote learning model. Elementary school classrooms, which used to sit 2-4 students at a table, have gone to individual desks, placed 6 feet apart, in classrooms. Students are required to wear masks for most class activities. The district has ended its hybrid model. The Governor of Iowa has aggressively pushed schools to return to in person education, going so far as to threaten to withhold funds from districts that don't return to in person classes. DMPS, the largest school district in Iowa, has resisted the Governor's push because Polk County, IA, has been a Coronavirus/COVID-19 hotspot with positivity rates well above 10 percent. The district was recently able to vaccinate many teachers and positivity rates have fallen to 9 percent, making it safer to reopen schools.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 27 JUNE 2009 -- PHOENIX, AZ: People walk through the lobby of the Arizona House of Representatives building during a march at the Arizona state capitol Saturday. Arizona has the second worst state budget deficit in the country (only California's is worst) and the Republican controlled legislature is threatening to balance the budget by making massive cuts in social and education spending while cutting taxes. Small numbers of public school teachers and parents of public school students have been marching on the capitol almost every day of the week but Saturday's march, with well over 500 people was the largest of session. The legislature and Gov. Jan Brewer, also a Republican, are deadlocked in negotiations and the Governor has threatened to shut down state government on July 1 if there is no budget. Republican leaders in the legislature are threatening to present the Governor with a budget, without input from the Governor's office, at midnight on June 30, forcing her to sign the budget to keep the state open.

  • 27 JUNE 2009 -- PHOENIX, AZ: People locked out of the Arizona House of Representatives hold their signs up to the window during a march at the Arizona state capitol Saturday. Arizona has the second worst state budget deficit in the country (only California's is worst) and the Republican controlled legislature is threatening to balance the budget by making massive cuts in social and education spending while cutting taxes. Small numbers of public school teachers and parents of public school students have been marching on the capitol almost every day of the week but Saturday's march, with well over 500 people was the largest of session. The legislature and Gov. Jan Brewer, also a Republican, are deadlocked in negotiations and the Governor has threatened to shut down state government on July 1 if there is no budget. Republican leaders in the legislature are threatening to present the Governor with a budget, without input from the Governor's office, at midnight on June 30, forcing her to sign the budget to keep the state open.

  • Sept. 29, 2009 -- SAI BURI, THAILAND: A girl in an Islamic studies class at the Darunsat Wittya Islamic School in Sai Buri, Thailand. The school is the largest Muslim high school in Pattani province. Although it is a private school, the Thai government pays students' tuition to attend the school. The curriculum combines Thai official curriculum with Islamic curriculum. Many of the students go on to college level education in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The Thai government views Islamic high schools with suspicion, fearing they radicalize students. Thailand's three southern most provinces; Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat are often called "restive" and a decades long Muslim insurgency has gained traction recently. Nearly 4,000 people have been killed since 2004. The three southern provinces are under emergency control and there are more than 60,000 Thai military, police and paramilitary militia forces trying to keep the peace battling insurgents who favor car bombs and assassination.
