With The President
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 10.23.2001
The president came to my hometown October 18 and I had the honor to be on stage with him as he delivered a stirring speech that made one proud to be an American. America is at war, but the cliché that war makes leaders is not true--look at Neville Chamberlain. In reality, true leaders must rise to the challenge of calamity, and that is exactly what George W. Bush has done. Listening to him in person, as I did on that October morning in Sacramento, and you know in your bones that although terrorists may have America under siege, we have a commander-in-chief who will ensure that we prevail in this deadly struggle.
Our Biggest Failure
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 10.4.2001
In the blame game following the September 11 terrorist attacks, fingers are being pointed at lax airport security, inadequate intelligence gathering, and a ho-hum, it-can’t-happen-here mentality. While these factors were important, the terrorists wouldn’t have been in our country and wouldn’t have been able to perpetrate their evil deeds except for the colossal failure of our immigration system.
Differentiated Compensation in Teacher Salaries
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi on 10.2.2001
Teacher shortages in certain subject fields and in so-called hard-to-staff schools plague efforts to improve public education. Yet, the inability of educators and policymakers to think outside of the box of uniform wage rates for all teachers, regardless of supply and demand in various teaching fields, hampers any effective effort to address the shortage.
