California Mwananchi: August 2014
http://californiamwananchi.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2014. Re-Thinking the Role of Administrators at the University of California. On Friday, California Congresswoman Barbara Lee wrote an op-ed to the Daily Californian, the student newspaper at UC Berkeley. She argued, to repeat her headline, that “college should be an option for all”. You might think that this would be an uncontroversial enough stance, and that disagreement, where it arose, would surround the manner in which college was made available to all qualified students. The othe...

California Mwananchi: July 2014

Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Israeli Colonialism and Terror in Action. As is common when the Israeli state flexes its military muscles in one of its imperial wars, its defenders are resorting to an argument about the moral equivalency between rockets being launched at Israel from its colony, and Israel’s bombardment of and ground incursion into the colony. However much Israeli citizens might suffer from the bursts of dissatisfaction and violence brought about by their government’s colonial policy, the z...

Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Hillary Clinton Should Not Lead the Democratic Party. The right-wing U.S. presidential primary for 2016 grew by one on Sunday when Hillary Clinton announced her entry into the race, bringing with her the massed support of a personalized political machine hell-bent on overwhelming the Democratic Party’s democratic process with a barrage of political intimidation and cash. It was a war that destroyed the livelihoods, infrastructure, and civic institutions of a country and its resid...

Saturday, February 28, 2015. Californians Need to Accept Responsibility for their Universities. The Los Angeles Times. Reported this morning that. 8220;California voters overwhelming oppose a tuition increase at University of California campuses, even if that forces the colleges to cut spending or accept more out-of-state students who pay higher fees”. The poll finds California’s voters at their most typically obtuse and obdurate. I hope that many Californians would agree that those are worthwhile ambiti...

California Mwananchi: UC Irvine and the U.S. Flag
http://californiamwananchi.blogspot.com/2015/03/uc-irvine-and-us-flag.html
Sunday, March 15, 2015. UC Irvine and the U.S. Flag. The week before last at the University of California, Irvine, the legislative branch of the student government voted to ban the display of the U.S. flag and other national flags in the lobby adjacent to the offices of the student government. The ban sparked outrage and accusations of treachery and a lack of patriotism, a veto from the student president, and a rebuke from the UC Irvine Chancellor. In a strange way the students’ actions were remini...

Tuesday, September 30, 2014. The Danger in Obama's Anti-ISIS Allies. As though refusing to admit that President Bush could have out-done him when it comes to the waging of a series of terroristic wars abroad in the service of phantom “national security” goals, President Obama has launched his. Version of a war in Iraq—and Syria. Middle Eastern leaders cut from a variety of cloths seem comparatively unified in their fear of ISIS at the moment—although some of that fear might be posturing, in the kno...
