CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT REFUSES HALTFOR SAME SEX MARRIAGE

In a terse, one-sentence ruling Monday, the California Supreme Court refused to halt the same-sex marriages taking place in counties across the state.Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Protect Marriage, the group that sponsored Proposition 8 —whicheliminated marriage equality rights from the California Constitution —had no standing to challenge U.S. District CourtJudge Vaughn Williams‘ ruling that the initiative violated the federal Constitution‘s equal protection clause. Stateofficials, including governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown and State Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris haddeclined to defend the proposition in court.Protect Marriage appealed to California‘s high court, arguing that Williams‘ ruling applied only to the two counties inwhich the plaintiffs who brought the federal suit against Prop. 8 reside. The group asked the court to halt same-sex

unions in other parts of the state until it‘s appeal is heard, which now appears will occur sometime next month.On Monday, the court curtly declined to issue such a stay, ruling: ―The request for an immediate stay or injunctiverelief is denied.‖ The justices gave no reason for their decision.California Atty. Gen. Harris argued to that Protect Marriage is asking the state‘s high court to unconstitutionallyinterfere with a federal cour t order.In Washington, Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign and organizer of the federal suit against Prop.8, said ―Our opponents have failed in a desperate attempt to deny happiness and protections to lesbian and gaycouples and their children and no amount of legal wrangling is going to undo that joy. Marriage equality has returnedto the Golden State.‖

CHICAGO SCHOOL CLOSINGS AND THE JOYCEFOUNDATION – THE OBAMA CONNECTION

Chicago School Closings And The Joyce Foundation – The Obama Connection bySteve HornThe Windy City is is undergoing a tumultuous historical moment, with the uprising of the Chicago Teachers Union occurring alongside the ongoing restructuring andprivatization of the Chicago Public Schools system.Most recently, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel oversaw the closing of 50 publicschools, many of which will be replaced by charter schools. A bulk of the 550 laid-off

teachers will be replaced by Teach for America contractors, many of whom teach incharter schools.―Statewide enrollment in charter schools has surged from 6,152 students in 2000 to54,054 this school year —with most of them in Chicago —according to the IllinoisState Board of Education,‖ an April Chicago Tribune editorial explained. ―The firstcharter school in Illinois opened in 1996. Now there are 132 campuses operating under 58 charters.‖

A thus-far underreported story of the retooling of CPS concerns a foundation closethe epicenter of it all: the Joyce Foundation.

FEDS WATCHIN – HOW THEY TUNE IN WHEN WEGET TURNT UP

Many people across the country are upset over the outcome of theGeorge Zimmerman trial for the murder of Trayvon Martin . And rightlyso. The trial was a miscarriage of so called justice if I‘ve ever seenone. However, the fact that we can‘t sleep on. is that for the past twoweeks the whole ‗hood has been on trial.From the day that the George Zimmerman trial began, most of thefocus of the media was not on the death of an innocent 17 year oldBlack kid, but on how Black folks in Sanford, Florida and ‗hoodsacross America were gonna react if Zimmerman was found not guilty.While people in this country claimed to be on a nightly ―verdictwatch,‖ in reality, they were on a 24/7 ―riot watch.‖ What isinteresting is that the tactics the Feds used to monitor black rage inSanford were the same ones that they have, historically, used overand over again when they think that there is the possibility of ―urbanunrest.‖ The preemptive strike against the hood has gone on fordecades.
