Save for a few NAACP branches (including its affiliate in Connecticut, have stepped up in the
discussions over Gov. Dan Malloy's school reform effort, and advocated on behalf of Bridgeport mother Tanya McDowell, who will serve five years for trying to provide her child with a high - quality school), the nation's oldest civil rights group offers nothing
substantial on addressing issues such as ending Zip Code Education
policies, expanding school choice, addressing childhood illiteracy, and revamping how teachers are recruited, trained, paid, and evaluated (especially when it comes to bringing more black men into the teaching profession).
And I think they go to the heart of the matter in our
discussion here of «black swans» (unknown unknowns of
substantial impact) and their impact on climate science and
policy.
