    An Appeal from the Ruling of the Chair - Part Two

    How to Ignore the Brown Act When No One is Watching

    The perp-walks we witness by politicians who’ve breached our nation’s laws and the public trust are the politicos’ comeuppance for habits usually beginning way back when. But where and how could such misbegotten behaviors have started you might wonder?

    Well, step right up to a possible breeding ground right here at SMC where under the challenged guidance of Assistant Dean of Student Life Deyna Hearn and Student Activities Advisor Benny Blaydes (both of whose next link up the chain of command is Dr. Robert “Bobbie” Adams, vice-president of student affairs), the so-called “leadership” of Associated Student President Sadia Afolabi and Vice-President Jeff Jensen, plus that of other directors, has ill-served the SMC student body by undermining their rights through consistent violations of the Ralph A. Brown Act.

    A Vacuum of Leadership in the Office of Student Life

    Posted in Political, SMC Governance, SMC Community, In Loco Parentis, Associate Student Board of Directors, Board of Trustees on April 15th, 2006 by Longwing

    30,000-plus students and a turnout of a mere 407 voters for the recent Associated Student board of directors elections is an incredible indictment of the failure of the Office of Student Life - its advisors and the current board of directors - to establish their relevancy to the vast majority of students who attend Santa Monica College.

    Go ahead and click here to play a nice video editorial Bobbie Adams
    (just the beginning) on where this travesty begins and where the responsibility lies.

    Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics

    Two of the most influential visionaries and leaders in the political blogosphere, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga (Daily Kos) and Jerome Armstrong (MyDD.com), co-authors of the unflinching “Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics” - a powerful dissection of today’s political establishment - are coming to town.

    On Friday evening, April 21, Zuniga and Armstrong will be at “Club 310″ (3321 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica) from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, to be followed by an 8:00 pm appearance at “Book Soup” (8818 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles).

    An Appeal from the Ruling of the Chair - Part One

    Report Card Arrives Early

    This article begins a multi-part series exposing the dysfunctional, mismanaged and, in some respects, criminal nature – philosophical, practical, moral and legal – of the Office of Student Life at Santa Monica College as it operates (or, rather, doesn’t) under the ultimate jurisdiction of Dr. Robert “Bobbie” Adams, vice president of student affairs, but actual day-to-day management of Assistant Dean of Student Life Deyna Hearn and Student Activities Advisor Benny Blaydes.

    Bush Junta - No Friend to Truth

    Posted in Political, U.S. Government, White House, Environment, Global Warming, News on March 20th, 2006 by Longwing

     

    NEWS: In an explosive piece entitled "Rewriting the Science" which aired on CBS 60 Minute's Sunday night, the American public had, yet again, another opportunity to peer into the intentionally deceptive workings of the Bush administration, especially when they don't like the conclusions of world-renowned scientists.  "Check out the video."

    Ren McCormack - Please Come to SMC, Please!

    Posted in Political, SMC Governance, SMC Community, In Loco Parentis, Associate Student Board of Directors, Board of Trustees, DPAC (District Planning & Advisory Council), Faculty Senate, Classified Senate, Inter-Club Council, Clubs on March 13th, 2006 by Longwing

    In 1984, Paramount released the movie “Footloose,” the story of Ren McCormack (Kevin Bacon), a streetsmart teenager from the big city whose family moves to Bomont, an earnest little Oklahoma town, whose elders years earlier had banned any kind of public dancing. Under the inspired leadership of Ren in challenging the statute, his peers rise up and assert their right to dance. Bomont is an apt metaphor for SMC now - before the arrival of Ren.
