Fatal flaws in the anti-abortion inquisition 1. The Reason for Abortions are many, and without context, these anti-abortion laws kill and injure women 2. If a woman does not have sovereignty over her own body, neither does the child, dehumanizing and objectifying both woman and child 3. Scientific views of health care are denied, meaning truth is crucified by lies 4. If there were concerns about a woman and child's health, there are policies such as health care, education, environmental Justice, economic justice, infrastructure, social services, emergency services, on and on, that actually help people, and are denied by the same republican anti-abortion klan in favor of tax cuts to republican donors 5. Democracy, the right to vote, same as a woman's right to their body, is also denied by republican arrogance to pass anti-abortion laws, as Republicans deny over 60 court cases establishing Joe Biden won the 2020 elections 6. The anti-abortion klan also demands anti-immigrant massacres of Humanity at our border with the same criminalization, dehuminization and disenfranchisement, denying humane immigration reform for decades 7. The same anti-abortion inquisition movement is demanding that we worship only the most treasonous views of religion and government in our bloody history to attack other civil liberties established by Democracy, denying the entire foundation of justice The Republican klan speaks with the political violence we see because the Republican klan denies Democracy The gates of the Hell of Dictatorship is never full because arrogance comes before a fall and injustice breeds destruction Humanity has had around 6,000 years of written bloody history of voter disenfranchisement Jesus did not establish a Religious Dictatorship Jesus established The Covenant of Democracy with Love thy neighbor as thyself Your Right To Vote Is My Right To Vote Justice For All Don't hang the Love of Jesus on the Cross of Vladimir Putin
The greatest determining factor in educational outcomes is economic status 70% Top tax rates from 1936 to 1981 Built the infrastructure of America we have today 90% Top tax rates from 1944 to 1964 paid down WWII debt The 1980 Reagan fiscally irresponsible and socially oppressive top rate tax cut and prison building revolution has monopolized wealth and power, destroyed our infrastructure with neglect and put us in debt by cutting top tax rates dramatically while creating the world's largest per capita prison population and disenfranchising millions of voters Economic Justice Matters Wealth inflation is where the wealthy have more money, the things they spend money on costs everyone more: Housing, Health Care, College, Automobiles The greater the wealth gap the more people at the lower income fall behind Infrastructure Is also Economic Justice Universal College is Infrastructure Universal Healthcare is infrastructure Clean Energy is Infrastructure Safe and Efficient Transportation is infrastructure Courts and Police are Infrastructure Immigration Management is Infrastructure Shared infrastructure makes us all wealthier Republican top rate tax cuts enrich undemocratic oligarchs and put America in debt Instead of Economic Justice Infrastructure, we pay interest to the oligarchs who got tax cuts and buy American debt created by those tax cuts Double jeaprody Charity is no substitute for Justice Injustice overwhelms Charity As we can see Injustice breeds destruction Injustice is destruction Republican Economic Injustice has been pared with immigrant and voter disenfranchisement, all principles of Dictatorships Republican Mass criminalization overwhelms Law Enforcement with anarchy The root of all evil is the UNCONSENSUAL AQUISITION of wealth and power, voter disenfranchisement Todays Democrats are the best choice for Economic Justice Social Justice Climate Justice And Your Right To Vote for It

Joanna Philippoff, an assistant specialist here at the College of Education, won a Hawaiʻi Educational Research Association (HERA) Distinguished Paper Award. She presented her work, "An Examination of the Long-Term Effects of a Teacher Professional Development in Inquiry Science", at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in April.
Engaging in a mixed methods study, Philippoff and her co-authors administered the same instruments to the same teachers before and after a teacher professional development (PD) and two and half years after the PD ended. They interviewed the teachers about factors that enhanced or impeded PD implementation.
