Las aulas multigrados reciben hasta una decena de escolares de diferentes edades de regiones apartadas donde la baja tasa poblacional no permite instalar escuelas regulares pero a las puertas del nuevo curso escolar padres de alumnos de las aulas multigrados de diferentes localidades de San Germán provincia Holguín están preocupados porque la dirección de educación y los dirigentes gubernamentales anunciaron que no se abrirán esos centros de estudios. Sus hijos deberán asistir a escuelas a varios kilómetros de su residencia en medio de una crisis tremenda de transporte y con la presencia de maestros sin la preparación adecuada para enfrentar la docencia En este curso escolar se habla de otros cambios en los diferentes niveles educacionales. De abrir de nuevo Escuelas Formadores de Maestros que habían desaparecido y luego sustituidas por la de los maestros emergentes. Ya han anunciado además la reducción de plantillas en las oficinas de las direcciones municipales de educación por lo que los profesionales excedentes en esas dependencias deberán volver a las aulas después de varios años sin ejercer la profesión. A poco más de veinte años de haber vaticinado Fidel Castro que Cuba además de potencia medica alcanzaría un lugar cimero en la educación, una conocida mía metodóloga de educación y excedente en el anunciado ajuste de plantilla vacila en volver al aula que dejó atrás hace veinte años. Piensa que aún le quedan unos días para inventar cómo sumarse a la iniciativa privada que propone el gobierno para ‘paliar’ la crisis social y que hasta el momento solo se ha traducido, en San Germán, en permitir sillones para cortar cabello.
Hunger strikes are the ultimate recourse in the arsenal of non-violent resistance, and over the years around the world it has succeeded at times but in places like Cuba, Ireland, and now in Venezuela a human being has died on hunger strike.
Franklin Brito was a farmer and a biologist whose land was expropriated by Hugo Chavez in 2000 according to CNN. Other news agencies place the date of expropriation anywhere between 2003 and 2004. He exhausted every recourse and was driven to the final option: the hunger strike in 2005.El Universal out of Caracas offers a chronology of Brito's odyssey. In the video below taken October 5, 2009 on day 93 of a hunger strike Franklin was carrying out in which he explains how all of this began:
Understand that the slogans used by the "protesters" organized at least in part by Code Pink, invoking democracy, justice, rights, and love are just that, feel good slogans fronting for a very ugly anti-American, anti-freedom agenda. The groups working together for so-called immigrant rights, are using illegal aliens, not "immigrants" to foster their own agenda--a socialist takeover of the U.S.A. Watch this video, which should have been titled "Mexican flag along side desecrated Cuban flag flown by radical Castro supporting leftists over American soil in Phoenix protest."
El documental sobre Los Aldeanos titulado Revolution, de Mayckell Pedrero, acaparó los máximos premios en su categoría, pese a que los medios oficiales, incluido Juventud Rebelde, no habían informado apenas de esta Muestra y mucho menos de este documental dedicado a los representantes de la juventud más rebelde y creativa. Pero este silencio informativo no pudo impedir que la película se proyectara simultáneamente en los aborrotados cines Charles Chaplin de la Cinemateca de Cuba y el Multicine Infanta.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatens U.S. security through his relationship with the terrorist group Hezbollah, says Luis Fleischman a professor at Florida Atlantic University.
“Chavez promotes a relationship with Hezbollah,” Fleischman told Newsmax.TV’s Ashley Martella. “Drug trafficking is going on across all of Central America. Chavez promotes this activity to destabilize countries friendly to the U.S.”
The more anarchy that Chavez creates, the more difficulty he poses to U.S. security, says the professor of political science and sociology.
“Hezbollah has relationships with drug trafficking cartels. The cartels know exactly how to bring the drugs into the southern border of the U.S. These routes have been used not only by Hezbollah, but also by Al Qaeda to penetrate the U.S.”
So the threat is imminent, Fleischman says. “If this situation doesn’t stop, the northern part of Latin America is going to end up in a situation similar to Afghanistan, where you don’t have state control over the territory.”
That means warlords connected to the drug business will be in control, he says. “Islamic groups can use those routes that drug cartels paved to enter the U.S. and do a lot of harm.”
As for the Chavez regime, it’s clearly illegitimate, having violated human rights, repressed freedom of the press and taken power in possibly corrupt elections.
“It’s a totalitarian state,” Fleischman said.
