Barthé, Jr. (Doctorate of Philosophy in History) Becoming American in Creole New Orleans: Family, Community, Labor and Schooling, 1896-1949 Summary: The Louisiana Creole community in New Orleans went through profound changes in the first half of the 20th-century. This work examines Creole ethnic identity, focusing particularly on the transition from Creole to American. In "becoming American," Creoles adapted to a binary, racialized caste system prevalent in the Jim Crow American South (and transformed from a primarily Francophone/Creolophone community (where a tripartite although permissive caste system long existed) to a primarily Anglophone community (marked by stricter black-white binaries). These adaptations and transformations were facilitated through Creole participation in fraternal societies, the organized labor movement and public and parochial schools that provided English-only instruction.

    Paper ID #16350 Privatization of Public Education: Lessons from New Orleans for Engineer- ing Education in K-12 and Beyond Dr. Donna M. Riley, Virginia Tech Donna Riley is Professor of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech. Mrs. Janice L. Hall, Virginia Tech I am a doctoral student in Engineering Education at Virginia Tech. I have B.S. and M.S. degrees in biolog- ical and bio-medical engineering respectively. It was through my participation in extracurricular activities and my experience as a graduate teaching assistant I found my passion for engineering education. My research interests include broadening participation and a pathways to engineering for underrepresented student populations with a particular interest in veteran students. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Privatization of Public Education: Lessons from New Orleans for Engineering Education in K-12 and Beyond Abstract As ASEE meets in New Orleans shortly following the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we seek to explore how disasters like Katrina reveal underlying systems of inequality, and create opportunities for the enactment of political and economic agendas that further ruling interests. What lessons can engineering education draw from the experiences of New Orleans schools after Katrina? What does it reveal to us about systems of inequality in engineering education, and how we might counter political and economic agendas that run counter to equity and social justice? Using a case study approach, we seek to analyze the effort to rebuild New Orleans public schools as private charters, and how this effort, part of a larger trend in market-driven school reform, funneled public resources to corporate education reformers.

    Grandich Comes out in Support of David Tyree

    Peter Grandich, Managing Member Office Location: 2431 Atlantic Ave, Manasquan (Wall), NJ [email protected] Mailing Address P.O. Box 245, Perrineville, NJ 08535 DATE: June 20, 2011 CONTACT: Peter Grandich Phone 732-642-3992 [email protected] Grandich comes out in support of David Tyree WALL, NJ - This is America, the birthplace of freedom in the modern world; where freedom of speech is not just guaranteed, it is one of the foundations upon which our country was established. In the U.S.A., everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. Except, it seems, for 2008 Super Bowl sensation David Tyree. In an online video posted June 15, Tyree made some gutsy statements about his views of gay marriage, and has since taken a beating in the media for it. Tyree, the former NY Giant whose “Helmet Catch” was the defining moment of Super Bowl XLII and one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, recorded the video because he opposes the notion of gay marriage, and says he’s simply voicing his opinion. “I am not political,” he says in the video. “I believe there is right and wrong. I think many things are subjective, but truth is not. Marriage [among a man and woman] is the backbone of our society.” In response to the negative avalanche of comments published about Tyree and the video, market commentator Peter Grandich has come out in his defense. Grandich, managing member of Trinity Financial Sports & Entertainment Co., blogged on his internationally-followed social and economic blog Grandich.com that he supports Tyree and agrees with his conservative stance.
