  • Application for Accreditation of the Kentucky Green Party As a State Chapter
    Application for Accreditation of the Kentucky Green Party as a State Chapter Dear Accreditation Committee (c/o Tamar Yager), Thank you for your help so far in our accreditation process. Here is our updated application to become a state chapter. Our approved bylaws are attached. Criteria for State Party Membership in the Green Party of the United States: 1. Acceptance of the four pillars of the international Green Party movement [ecological wisdom, social justice, grassroots democracy, non-violence] or the Ten Key Values as guiding principles. We accept these pillars and key values, as shown by our incorporation of them in Article 1 of our bylaws, which begins as follows: 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of the Kentucky Green Party (Party) is to transform Kentucky's political and economic systems in ways that move the Commonwealth closer to the realization of our ten key values, which are as follows: 1.1 Grassroots Democracy Every human being deserves a say in the decisions that affect his or her life..." 2. Organized and run in accordance with these values. So far, we have operated in a way that is consistent with the values. We believe that the rest of the provisions of the bylaws show we are committed to continuing to do so. 3. A statewide organization open to, and reflective of, a statewide membership. In the process of organizing to this point, we have been focusing most of our attention on contacting Kentuckians in all parts of the state who are in agreement with the key values expressed in the GP platform.

  • Reform and Reaction: the Political Economy of Education in Kentucky
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 340 540 RC 018 438 AUTHOR Collins, Timothy TITLE Reform and Reaction: The Political Economy of Education in Kentucky. PUB DATE Aug 91 NOTE 64p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Rural Sociological Society (Columbus, OH, August 18-21, 1991). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) -- Reports - Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01 Plus Postage. PC Not Available from EDRS. DESCRIPTORS Court Litigation; Economic Development; *Educational Attitudes; *Educational Change; *Educational Equity (Finance); Educational Finance; Educational Legislation; Elementary Secondary Education; *Politics of Education; *Rural Education; Social Class; Sociocultural Patterns; Socioeconomic Influences; *State Legislation IDENTIFIERS *Kentucky; Kentucky Education Re. rm Act 1990 ABSTRACT Kentucky has a long history of educational problems and of reform efforts that failed because of state neglect. These problems, which deeply affect rural economic development and are closely tied to patterns of unequal development, have become more troublesome as world markets have changed. The roots of these problems are planted in the state's sociocultural history cf rural values and attitudes, the attendant political economy based on low-skill jobs, and rural and urban class structures that reinforce social inequality. Middle-class farmers and capitalists involved in extractive industries and textiles t':aditionally have seen lictle value in worker education and have resisted tax increases for education. This paper examines the 1990 Kentucky legislative session, passage of the Kentucky Educational Reform Act of 1990, and subsequent political developments related to educational finance issues. The education reform package, which was mandated by the state Supreme Court, passed by a solid majority but still faces__ considerable opposition from a predominantly rural class-based group.
