Asbestos in NYC schools-What else is new?

In the mid 1990s the opening of schools was delayed for 1 week after summer holiday due to the asbestos threat. Miraculously, the threat ended and all schools re-opened after a week.
For 19 of my 32 years in the system, I taught at IS 320 in Brooklyn on McKeever Place. The building was filled with asbestos. The District Superintendent refused to close the building. Staff and students were there as workers removed the asbestos. As our wonderful students jumped to the top of the ceiling, this garbage came down. Is it any wonder that IS 320, now P.S. 375, has had a very huge number of faculty deaths from cancer. In addition, other colleagues have had bouts with the dreaded disease.
Nothing is being done. Everything is kept quiet. This administration and others should be ashamed of themselves. There is still plenty of asbestos in city schools and everyone knows it. Do something!

Those 100 College Presidents

What have these guys been smoking? They suggest that the drinking age be lowered? What kind of morons are these? It's bad enough that in N.Y.C. we have a school's chancellor who fled teaching after 6 months, but for college heads to advocate this? No wonder, and rightfully so is MADD so outraged.
These 100 guys need an immediate sabbatical or booted yet, they need to be expelled.
