LO QUE ES VERDAD PARA TI es lo que tú has observado por tí mismo, y cuando pierdes eso, lo has perdido todo. 

¿Qué es la integridad personal?
La integridad personal es saber lo que sabes.
Lo que sabes es lo que sabes.
Y tener el valor de saber y decir lo que has observado. 

Eso es integridad.

Nadie cuestiona la severidad del problema con las drogas y el impacto devastador que causa en la juventud. Los resultados escolares sufren y empeoran, empeoran la salud y destruyen las vidas de los jóvenes y sus familias.

La Guía del Educador de La Verdad Sobre las Drogas posee herramientas prácticas para enseñar a la gente joven sobre el abuso de estas sustancias.

Right now we are going through a time of campaigning for an eventual national election involving many offices including the highest in the land. It's election season and this is important to many people both here and abroad for many different reasons. Of course there are the obvious reasons, at least for Americans, chief among those being the economy with the war in Afghanistan and conflict in Uganda and the giant, expensive and untrustworthy private security force in Iraq perhaps second. After that there are things like national healthcare, civil liberties and the government's increasing intrusion upon some of them, union politics, civil rights and redistricting for votes, the education crisis and the future of our children, immigration reform/ issues, Iran, Israel/ Palestine, the Arab Spring, issues brought forward by the Occupy Movement and more.

Children Have Rights Too!!!

Christopher Turner, an 11 year old student from Bowden, Georgia, is your every day kid.  He plays basketball down the street with his friends, he is a straight A student, and he likes to go to church every Wed. with his friends because he finds it fun and like to socialize.  What makes a straight A student who loves school to be fearful of returning to school?? Bullying, plain and simple.

When bullying happens it is usually taken care of by the school, but what happens when a mother's cry for help gets no answer? What happens when the faculty at the school are the ones doing the bullying?  Nothing apparently, except for even more discrimination and harassment.

Campaign for the Just Treatment of International Corps of Educators

Over the past decade, the United States saw a growing shortage of teachers especially in inner-city and remote rural schools. This shortage was further compounded with the increased need for highly-qualified teachers as mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 mainly in core areas such as math, science and special education.  In response to this shortage, school districts all over the country looked around the globe to recruit experienced and credentialed teachers to assist the country in educating its children.  This was answered more than willingly by thousands of foreign teachers annually.

Loosen the Shackles: Experiences of a Felon Trying to Make it in the World

If your dignity and humanity have been worn down under the enormous pressure that comes with being blacklisted by a criminal history, I hope that my experiences can help relieve some of your pain.  The following are pointers just what I’ve picked up along the way in my 8 year long battle to be fully integrated back into society, my struggle continues. Some folks are more aware of their rights than others so this is a comprehensive bullet list of instructions, policies, and experiences that might be helpful to those with criminal histories who live in Georgia and whose crimes were committed in this state. Jobs with Justice and the Campaign to End Mass Incarceration are working on the problems we face. I grouped these into experiences, I hope you find them helpful.
