I taught high school for ten years and have been a college professor in education and history for forty years. In that time I have taught over 12,000 teachers. I want to end the current system of education and replace it with a new one which empowers youth and adults to collaborate in learning. I am one of those Depression babies who never lost the desire to fight against the wealthy and powerful. Basically, I am an old geezer with a young heart and fire in his belly to fight the fools who control the presidency.

Most proud: I created the Veterans Accelerated Urban Learning for Teachers (VAULT) program for returning Vietnam War veterans. The acceptance into the program consisted of answering "yes" to the question of "Would you like to go to college?"
