Today the foun- dation that lives off his wealth is a hotbed of trendy, left-wing thinking and grant- making. It funds efforts to hurt the lumber industry, turn schools into union-controlled sources of Democratic Party patronage, block Americans’ gun rights, and constrict economic freedoms.

    The Joyce Foundation 2004 Annual Report A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. Henry Adams 8 President’s Letter 10 Education 44 Employment 45 Environment 46 Gun Violence 47 Money and Politics 48 Culture 49 Grants Approved 65 Financial Statements 73 2005 Program Guidelines 48 Fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, America’s schools still fail to provide many poor and minority children with a quality education. 2 3 A big part of the problem: poor and minority children are much more likely than other children to have teachers who are inexperienced, uncertified, or teaching subjects they were not trained to teach. 4 5 Yet hope exists: over time, effective teachers can erase the achievement gap and help kids learn. 6 7 In each of the Foundation’s programs, our priorities are shaped by what the research identifies as the most effective strategies to address social challenges. Our goal is to identify and promote evidence-based public policies that will improve the lives of Midwest citizens. The Foundation’s board has identified six broad categories of issues that have an impact on our region: education, the environment, employment, gun violence, money and politics, and culture. When determining what to fund within these categories, we consider the president’s letter severity of a problem, our ability to identify a possible solution, and the likelihood that our resources can make Among the central challenges facing our nation today is how to provide high-quality education and a difference. The projects that we fund almost always include some of the following: training to the next generation of adults.

BOGUS* This Symposium not only brings together the most impressive collection of scholars ever to address the Second Amendment but represents something of an historical event as well. A short description of the history and politics of Second Amendment scholarship is necessary to explain why that is so. If there is such a thing as settled constitutional law, the Second Amendment may have been its quintessential example. The United States Supreme Court addressed the Amendment three' times-in 1876,2 1886,3 and 19394-and on each occasion held that it granted the people a right to bear arms only within the militia.' Although in some circles today there is much discussion about what the word "militia" means, the Supreme Court had no trouble with the term.

We are especially interested in improving public policies, because public systems such as education and welfare directly affect the lives of so many people, and because public policies help shape private sector decisions about jobs, the environment, and the health of our communities. To ensure that public policies truly reflect public rather than private interests, we support efforts to reform the system of financing election campaigns. What really matters? What really matters?

    James Ostrowski Political Science/Law/History The Second Amendment Works! The Second “Jim Ostrowski is one of the finest people in the libertarian movement.” -- Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995), founder of the modern liberty movement and dean of the Austrian School of Amendment Economics “Ostrowski has developed into something of a modern-day Works! Thomas Paine.” -- The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty (2005) From the book: A Primer on How to Defend Our We need to recognize that gun control is a progressive idea. If we don’t understand what progressivism is, then how can we understand the Most Important Right basis for gun control proposals and refute and defeat them? Because the left controls the terms of the debate, the issue has been framed in such a way that we lose. The true purposes of the Second James Ostrowski Amendment are ignored or obfuscated, and smoke screens and red herrings degrade the debate. Never forget that the gun control movement, the government gun monopoly movement in America is, at best, a dangerous ideological delusion, and at worst, a sinister hoax and conspiracy, a movement that claims to abhor gun violence but which has as its core mission to use guns against peaceful law-abiding people to leave them defenseless against murderers, rapists and dictators.

  • A House Divided
    A HOUSE DIVIDED A Teaching Guide on the History of Civil Rights in Louisiana by Plater Robinson SECOND EDITION Southern Institute New Orleans, LA for Education and Research Tulane University © 1995 by the Southern Institute for Education and Research All Rights Reserved, Printed in the United States of America INTRODUCTION “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” -- Abraham Lincoln In an effort meriting the applause of grateful citizens, Xavier University produced the documentary A House Divided to record the history of the Civil Rights movement (1950-1965) in New Orleans. This study guide, prepared by the Southern Institute for Education and Research, is for teachers who intend to use A House Divided as an instructional resource in the classroom. This period in our history is little known by subsequent generations, black or white, despite the fact that participants in that epoch often live nearby. Students of today have little or no inkling of racial segregation as it was practiced and enforced in this city only thirty years ago. This is an unpardonable lapse in memory and responsibility. The Civil Rights period represents the great divide in our city, the divide between the past in which segregation was the law and degradation the rule, and the future in which hope is too often obscured by race, poverty, crime, and fear. It is impossible to understand present-day New Orleans without an understanding of the events which occurred so recently in the city and with such dramatic results. The documentary A House Divided focuses on the years in New Orleans between 1950 and 1965.
