Michael Klonsky's Discussions
Should juveniles be sentenced to life without parole?
This Op-ed piece in the NY Times calls it a shameful practice and a violation of Constitutional rights. I agree.

On May 19th(8pm-10) the University of Chicago in partnership with Alpha Phi Omega will be hosting a Community Service Mixer where we will be inviting Community Activists and students to come together for a two-hour session based on empowerment and dialogue.
The first half will feature speeches by APO's Vice-President of Service and UChicago's Community Service Director. The second half will be composed of breakout sessions where students on campus will engage in discussions with an activist in the field.
We'd love to have you here as well.
Feel free to contact me at Patrick.Ip@r-ln.com or 209-604-8832 if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Patrick
The other question actually matters, and is: I work in a Social Justice K-8 in Minneapolis - do you ever get up to the twin cities? If not, I'm in Chicago at least once a year, and I'd love to buy you lunch and talk about the revolution.
I'm jazzed that you've started a Small Schools Workshop here on the FFP Network. I've been a subscriber to the Small Schools listserv for years, so frequently read your posts. If you get a chance, check out the MC2 Group - MC2 was a small school that I started in New Hampshire. (I say "was" because it's supposed to be morphing into a "school within a school" model inside the comprehensive high school. We'll see how well that plays out!) Meanwhile, the students, graduates and sometimes families keep in touch and share their perspectives via the Network. Some students recently posted a rubric for student voice - I'm sure they'd love to hear your thoughts about it!
As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Brooklyn to Pakistan, from North Dakota to China. Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to that fascinating mix.
As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.
In short, use your voice to co-create our online community :-)
You may also be interested in taking a look at our companion site - the Five Freedoms Project. The section on "What We Value" includes a variety of resources about the five freedoms of the First Amendment, our leadership framework, student voice, and impact factors.
Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. Thanks again!
