ATTENTION: Educators, Students, Parents and Grandparents The Nation is excited to announce the launch of the 2011/2012 Educators Program, bringing America's most incisive writers and editors to classrooms with free teaching material. In this year of economic uncertainty and primary elections, the corporate-owned media will not be offering lessons about: the crisis in higher education; conservatives demonizing teachers, cops, firefighters and public workers; the phony "panic" over debt; vets abandoned by the VA; taxes and the Tea Party and much, much more. Where can students and teachers turn for more than they're getting from mainstream media? The Nation, that's where: the most independent, strong-voiced and fearless champion of democracy in this country. The first of twenty-four weekly teaching guides (available free) will be posted on Monday, August 29, 2011.
