Veteran, UF grad: continuing to serve nation’s highest-need classrooms
Nov. 16, 2014This month marked my second Veterans Day as a veteran of conflict, and I found myself reflecting on this national holiday. I see my uncles and grandfather, who have fought for freedom and opportunity for all Americans in every war since World War II. And I see my students, the unknowing beneficiaries of such sacrifices, growing into the leaders who will carry America into the future — if only they can first master their eighth-grade science concepts.

US owes veterans more than just one day out of the year
Nov. 13, 2014I sincerely hope that everyone here in Gainesville had a great Veterans Day. Remembering those who have served our country — both the living and those who have passed away or died in action — is incredibly important. Our government is right to set aside a day for celebration and respect for the brave human beings who lay down their lives in the name of protecting every citizen of the U.S. Whether you agree with the military policies and actions the U.S. government has taken throughout history, the sacrifices made by our soldiers should never be diminished.

US-China climate agreement a good start
Nov. 13, 2014In the past week, we have seen a spacecraft land on a comet, and we’ve seen Kim Kardashian’s glazed donuts. But what most people haven’t talked about — or seem to be interested in — is the recent historic climate agreement between the U.S. and China.

Progressive measures prosper despite losses
Nov. 6, 2014Tuesday, for those living under a rock, was the day of the 2014 midterm elections — where Democrats lost control of the U.S. Senate. They were also defeated in a number of key governor’s races, including in the state of Florida. The Democrats took a thumping, a shellacking and a whipping, with a net loss of 13 House seats and seven Senate seats.
