(The federally‐mandated combined sewer overflow (CSO) debt millage equates to 7 cents of every dollar and is outlined separately here.) The other 59.4 cents of every tax dollar the City collects in property taxes is directed to other public agencies, like Wayne County and the public schools. Although the City is the collecting agent, it has no authority over how the 59.4 cents is used by other public agencies.

    2019 MICHIGAN EDUCATION FALL THE MAGAZINE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF EDUCATION 2 Bastedo helped to develop Landscape, a tool that provides context about the opportunities that applicants have—or do not have—in their communities and high schools. His ongoing research informs college admissions practices and strategies, and will reveal the role that Landscape plays in efforts of colleges to admit a diverse freshman class. The newly launched TeachingWorks Resource Library supports teacher educa- tors with free, high-quality curriculum materials. We follow the researchers and FALL 2019 FALL product designers through their use of the design thinking process to discover • how they developed and refined the Resource Library and how it is being used. As educators, we empower students to be innovators. Ninth graders at The School at Marygrove, which we opened this fall in partnership with the Detroit Public Schools Community District, are taking Introduction to Human Centered Design and Engineering at their new school in northwest Detroit. Taught by the first “resident” of the Teaching School, Ms. Sneha Rathi, the curriculum was co-developed with a team of graduate students, staff, and faculty from the SOE. Students in Rathi’s class are learning how they can use design thinking to address challenges or needs in their community. I am proud of these young students; our teacher education graduate, Sneha Rathi; our graduate students; and our faculty and staff who are working together to build and study innovative education opportunities. Their work gives us all hope and inspiration. We also began work with the first cohort of Dow Innovation Teacher Fellows MICHIGAN EDUCATION EDUCATION MICHIGAN Dean Elizabeth Birr Moje at the SOE homecoming tailgate, October 5, 2019.

    ROBERT GRIFFIN Interviewed by Dennis Cawthorne July 25, 1996 Sponsored by the Michigan Political History Society P.O. Box 4684 East Lansing, MI 48826-4684 Transcript: MPHS Oral History of Robert P. Griffin, interviewed by Dennis Cawthorne, July 1996 This interview is part of the James J. Blanchard Living Library of Michigan Political History. Dennis Cawthorne (DC): Robert P. Griffin has had an exciting and remarkable political career that has spanned nearly 40 years of Michigan and American political history: United States Representative, United States Senator, author of major legislation, confidant of Presidents, Supreme Court Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. He has been all of these things and more. DC: RG was born in Detroit, grew up in Garden City, and graduated from Dearborn Fordson High School. He served 14 months in the Infantry in World War II in Europe. After the war, he graduated from Central Michigan University, and the University of Michigan Law School. DC: Bob, what was the spark that caused you to get interested and excited about politics? Robert Griffin (RG): Well, like you and a lot of others, I know here and there, in junior high or someplace, I was perhaps a class president or a student council president or something of that kind, but I don't think I really became interested until I went to the Wolverine Boys' State, between the junior and senior year I had at Fordson High School. There, somehow, things seemed to come together. I was a candidate for governor, but I didn't have the support, so a deal was made, and I ran for the lieutenant governor and was elected and spent the day, as these young people do every year, in the legislative chambers in Lansing.

  • Arab Stereotypes and American Educators
    Arab Stereotypes and American Educators by Marvin Wingfield and Bushra Karaman When American children hear the word "Arab," what is the first thing that often comes to mind? It might well be the Arabian Nights fantasy imagery in the Disney film "Aladdin," a film which has been very popular in theaters and on video and is sometimes shown in school classrooms. Yet Arab Americans have problems with this film. Although in many ways it is charming, artistically impressive and one of the few American films to feature an Arab hero or heroine, a closer look reveals some disturbing features. The film's light-skinned lead characters, Aladdin and Jasmine, have Anglicized features and Anglo American accents. This is in contrast to the other characters who are dark-skinned, swarthy and villainous - cruel palace guards or greedy merchants with "Arabic" accents and grotesque facial features. The film's opening song sets the tone: Oh, I come from a land, From a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam. Where they cut off your ear If they don't like your face. It's barbaric, but hey, it's home. Thus the film immediately characterizes the Arab world as alien, exotic and “other.” Arab Americans see this film as perpetuating the tired stereotype of the Arab world as a place of deserts and camels, of arbitrary cruelty and barbarism. Therefore, Arab Americans raised a cry of protest regarding “Aladdin.” The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) challenged Disney and persuaded the studio to change a phrase in the lyrics for the video version of the film to say: “It's flat and immense, and the heat is intense.
