Baltimore Algebra Project students will deliver a coffin and use crime scene tape to symbolically seal off government areas on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6 as a protest against Gov. Martin O’Malley’s cuts to Thornton funding.

Education and Jobs in the Knowledge-Based Economy should be fully funded.

Angered by the Governor’s and General Assembly’s broken promises, students will show the connection between November’s repeal of the original Thornton legislation and crime in Baltimore City. The action takes on added significance following the recent murder of an Algebra Project student activist.

As mayor, Martin O’Malley called Algebra Project students to his office and urged them “to hold the Governor accountable” for failing to follow court orders in Bradford v. Md. State Board of Ed. (March 3, 2006). He claimed the state should “immediately pay the $800 million” owed.

Now as governor, his actions will lead to $50 million in cuts to education in Baltimore City for next year.

Students will begin with a teach-in/conference at Asbury United Methodist Church, 87 West Street, Annapolis from 10:30AM - 1:00PM.

At 1:30, students will begin a permitted march along West Street to the State House where they will establish a crime scene to investigate the high murder rate in Baltimore City. 200 participants are expected.

I’m watching TV trying to keep track of the Super Tuesday results. I turn to Fox and there he is. Karl Rove is on the screen with the label “political strategist” or something under his face! Unbeknownst to me until like 2 minutes ago, Rove is on staff at Fox News now.

Wow.

The man who was often called “Bush’s Brain” has now found a safe haven to spew his ideology - Fox News. Does it concern anyone else that President George Bush’s former political strategist and chief mastermind is now sitting behind a “news” desk telling the nation what it should think about the upcoming presidential election.

Immortal Technique is right. American media, by and large, has become the Fourth Branch of the Government. And we know what that’s characteristic of right, Ladies and Gentlemen? You guessed it. FASCISM.
