What We've Found: School CEO sentenced, Duncan slams teaching schools, U.S.-Afghan power-share?, Navy leader censured, racial comments hurt Untermeyer and rights group founder claims bias
Julia Harte with your morning fix.
The ex-CEO of the Philadelphia Academy Charter School was preparing to be sentenced for stealing half a million dollars from the school, down to change he pocketed from vending machines, to pay for improvements to his home.
U.S. teaching schools are ineffective cash cows for universities, said Education Secretary Arne Duncan in a speech at Columbia University, where he urged stricter teacher-training programs that encourage "the lowest-performers to shape up or shut down."
The United States was indicating that it would be open to sharing power with the Afghan government that results from the Nov. 7 runoff election, if doing so would improve the legitimacy of the new administration.
The former leader of a U.S. navy dog-sniffing bomb unit in Bahrain was censured for hazing sailors he thought were gay, forcing them to simulate sex acts and locking them in dog kennels with dog feces all over the ground.
The Republican candidate in Philadelphia's upcoming District Attorney election was denounced by leaders in the Black political community after he denied the existence of any racial profiling in death penalty cases in the city.
The founder of Human Rights Watch accused the organization's current leadership of being "biased against Israel," arguing that the group had strayed from its original mandate to only examine authoritarian societies and was unfairly focused on Israeli human rights infractions.
That hazing incident is amazingly outrageous. I don't think homosexuality is rigt, but neither is that kind of abuse. Unfortunately, many people want to take away religious values from society, when those values indeed are what can protect ALL people, from such outrageous behavior.
