    My brother Thomas, who is deaf, called my attention to a particular bad budget cut being proposed in New York. In Mill Neck New York there is a family of organization including a school for the deaf and a school for special needs students like autistic students. These have been state funded and provided services for the deaf for over 100 years. Now Gov. Cuomo is planning to stop funding them and tell them to go to the school districts they serve for funds. Listen to the U-Tube please.

    the budget cut is for entire programfor low functional. Deaf school program has been miscategorized there. should have seperated completely from that. total 11 deaf schools in NY State. Really BIG CUTBACK. Force deaf school to seek from district to fund them. That is a very last minute or all or many school will have to shut down next year with no replacment funding. Cusmo doesnt undrestand that 11 deaf school really are highly beneficial to deaf chidlren. Many deaf alumni have good career after getting excellent education there

    Deaf children would not be able to get same education and District School has not had any preparation for unexpecting event ! Distrcit School are public school for hearing. They have to hire many intepreters in all statewide NY state. There will be a big short of good interpreters. Deaf would not be able to learn well there not as exactly same as deaf school would be able to do.

    Many deaf will feel isolated and will suffer from lack of social there Many hearing coaches refuse to let deaf players on teams. My deaf daughter had a potential and was the tallest and strongest player of the soccer team. Coach and i never got along on that !. I fought for my daugther.

    Yes, sending the deaf children to public school isn't very good, especially if they don't have special programs. And trying to make local school districts pay for this school on a contract basis won't work because local government is worse off than the state. Cut evenly on good programs if there is no other way, cut out outdated programs, cut optional programs, close tax loopholes. Add minor fees. Tax the rich. Sell unused government properties, but don't cut programs for the disadvantaged. Or here is an idea. Allow state governments a 20% deficit during recession years with a set number of years to pay it back.

Wither Goes the Corn?

One of the most under played news stories in the national media right now is the potential impact of the mid-western drought on food security in the United States.  According to Forbes 75% of food on supermarket shelves has corn in it.  Having already destroyed, stunted or delayed much of the corn crop, the heat is now working it's way on the soybean crop.  The Agriculture Dept conservative estimate is that food prices will rise by 3-4% this year as a result.  However this is based on the current, incomplete assessment of the drought's impact on corn and other crops.This drought is a new phenomenon-- a global warming drought based on fundamental alteration of weather patterns.  Already about one quarter of the country is in severe drought. Other estimates of potential price impacts range as high as 15% and the latent fear that eventually, for a time, the U.S. may become a net importer of food may play havoc with the crop futures market.  Food inflation ...

Just War and Just a War

One of the thorniest problems man face is when, if every is war justified.  The bible says there is a time for war and a time for peace, but that could be just a bow to the inevitability of war in the fallen world.  If also says that they will beat there swords into plough shares and study war no more.  Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, William Miller and other Catholic Workers often ascribed to pacifism or near total pacifism face with the near impossibility of every untangling the moral consequences of violence from the ends desired in undertaking it. But St. Augustine, faced with a world where Christians were starting to replace pagans as political leaders and Christians we soldiers in obedience to the leaders tried to come up with criteria by which war could be measured.   Augustine knew that the Gospel question on it was complex.  One the one hand Jesus told people to turn the other  cheek and also told Peter to put away his sword and not defe...
