Book Synopsis Toward the Charter by : Christopher MacLennan
Download or read book Toward the Charter written by Christopher MacLennan and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2003 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the Second World War, a growing concern that Canadians' civil liberties were not adequately protected, coupled with the international revival of the concept of universal human rights, led to a long public campaign to adopt a national bill of rights. While these initial efforts had been only partially successful by the 1960s, they laid the foundation for the radical change in Canadian human rights achieved by Pierre Elliott Trudeau in the 1980s. In Toward the Charter Christopher MacLennan explores the origins of this dramatic revolution in Canadian human rights, from its beginnings in the Great Depression to the critical developments of the 1960s. Drawing heavily on the experiences of a diverse range of human rights advocates, the author provides a detailed account of the various efforts to resist the abuse of civil liberties at the hands of the federal government and provincial legislatures and the resulting campaign for a national bill of rights. The important roles played by parliamentarians such as John Diefenbaker and academics such as F.R. Scott are placed alongside those of trade unionists, women, and a long list of individuals representing Canada's multicultural groups to reveal the diversity of the bill of rights movement. At the same time MacLennan weaves Canadian-made arguments for a bill of rights with ideas from the international human rights movement led by the United Nations to show that the Canadian experience can only be understood within a wider, global context.

Book Synopsis The Courts, the Charter, and the Schools by : Michael Manley-Casimir
Download or read book The Courts, the Charter, and the Schools written by Michael Manley-Casimir and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2010-01-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adoption of the Canadian Constitution Act in 1982, with its embedded Charter of Rights and Freedoms, ushered in an era of unprecedented judicial influence on Canada's public policy. The Courts, the Charter, and the Schools examines how the Constitution Act has affected educational policy during the first twenty-five years of the Charter by analyzing landmark rulings handed down from appellate courts and the Supreme Court. The contributors consider the influence that Charter cases have had on educational policies and practices by discussing cases involving fundamental freedoms, legal rights, equality rights, and minority language rights. Demonstrating why and how the Charter was invoked, interpreted, and applied in each of these cases, this volume also highlights the resulting consequences for Canada's public schools. An illuminating collection of essays by prominent legal scholars and educational commentators, The Courts, the Charter, and the Schools is a significant contribution to the study of educational law and policy in Canada.

Book Synopsis Religious Charter Schools by : Lawrence D. Weinberg
Download or read book Religious Charter Schools written by Lawrence D. Weinberg and published by IAP. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the constitutionality of religion-based charter schools. The method of analysis uses hypothetical charter schools to answer legal questions. The answers are grounded in law using the latest precedent. The background material before examining charters sets forth both the legal and policy contexts of religious charters schools. The legal context includes a detailed analysis of the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution focusing on the most recent Supreme Court cases on that topic. The policy analysis examines the normative and structural dimensions of charter schools, which are then compared with voucher programs. The historical, political and educational contexts of charter programs are also examined. The book concludes that charter schools present an opportunity for parents and communities to form charter schools that will accommodate their beliefs; however, the constitution does not allow them to form schools that endorse their beliefs.
Book Synopsis Governing with the Charter by : James B. Kelly
Download or read book Governing with the Charter written by James B. Kelly and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Governing with the Charter, James Kelly clearly demonstrates that our current democratic deficit is not the result of the Supreme Court’s judicial activism. On the contrary, an activist framers’ intent surrounds the Charter, and the Supreme Court has simply, and appropriately, responded to this new constitutional environment. While the Supreme Court is admittedly a political actor, it is not the sole interpreter of the Charter, as the court, the cabinet, and bureaucracy all respond to the document, which has ensured the proper functioning of constitutional supremacy in Canada. Kelly analyzes the parliamentary hearings on the Charter and also draws from interviews with public servants, senators, and members of parliament actively involved in appraising legislation to ensure that it is consistent with the Charter. He concludes that the principal institutional outcome of the Charter has been a marginalization of Parliament and that this is due to the Prime Minister’s decision on how to govern with the Charter.

Book Synopsis On the Rocketship by : Richard Whitmire
Download or read book On the Rocketship written by Richard Whitmire and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The face of American education is evolving—and the roadmap is clear On the Rocketship: How Top Charter Schools are Pushing the Envelope examines the rise and expansion of leading charter school network Rocketship, revealing the "secret sauce" that makes a successful program. A strong narrative with a timely message, the book explores how Rocketship started and the difficulties encountered as it expands. Designing schools for children who have been failed by traditional schools is extremely challenging work. Setbacks are inevitable. Later in the book the narrative shifts to the national picture, exploring how high performing charter schools are changing the education landscape in cities such as Denver, Memphis, and Houston. The book emerges just as charter schools are running into stiff political opposition in New York City and elsewhere. Even in San Jose, Rocketship's home base, the pushback against charter schools is gaining speed. On the Rocketship becomes a valuable resource for explaining what's at stake in this battle. Lose these schools, in New York, San Jose and other cities, and low-income and minority students lose their best shot at a quality education. Written by a veteran journalist who followed Rocketship through a school year, the book explores some of the factors that make Rocketship and other charters successful, including the blended learning that was pioneered at charter schools, especially Rocketship. Many schools around the country are looking to Rocketship as a model for implementing blended learning. The interplay between charter schools and blended learning is setting a change in motion, and the American education system is ready to evolve. On the Rocketship details this phenomenon, providing insights for educators across the nation.
Book Synopsis A Precariat Charter by : Guy Standing
Download or read book A Precariat Charter written by Guy Standing and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Guy Standing's immensely influential 2011 book introduced the Precariat as an emerging mass class, characterized by inequality and insecurity. Standing outlined the increasingly global nature of the Precariat as a social phenomenon, especially in the light of the social unrest characterized by the Occupy movements. He outlined the political risks they might pose, and at what might be done to diminish inequality and allow such workers to find a more stable labour identity. His concept and his conclusions have been widely taken up by thinkers from Noam Chomsky to Zygmunt Bauman, by political activists and by policy-makers. This new book takes the debate a stage further, looking in more detail at the kind of progressive politics that might form the vision of a Good Society in which such inequality, and the instability it produces, is reduced. A Precariat Charter discusses how rights - political, civil, social and economic - have been denied to the Precariat, and argues for the importance of redefining our social contract around notions of associational freedom, agency and the commons.

Book Synopsis A Smarter Charter by : Richard D. Kahlenberg
Download or read book A Smarter Charter written by Richard D. Kahlenberg and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond the debate over whether or not charter schools should exist, A Smarter Charter wrestles with the question of what kind of charter schools we should encourage. The authors begin by tracing the evolution of charter schools from Albert Shanker's original vision of giving teachers room to innovate while educating a diverse population of students, to today's charter schools where student segregation levels are even higher than in traditional public schools. In the second half of the book, the authors examine two key reforms currently seen in a small but growing number of charter schools, socioeconomic integration and teacher voice, that have the potential to improve performance and reshape the stereotypical image of what it means to be a charter school.
Book Synopsis Charter Conflicts by : Janet L. Hiebert
Download or read book Charter Conflicts written by Janet L. Hiebert and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002-04-24 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is twenty years old, little is known about how it affects those who wield power, what influence it has on legislative decisions, or to what extent the government believes it should be constrained by Charter concerns. For most laws Parliament has the final word on how social policy is balanced against protected rights. Thus the extent to which legislation is sensitive towards rights depends on how those who develop, propose, and assess policy view the Charter. How influential are governmental legal advisors? How risk averse or risk tolerant are government ministers when pursuing legislative goals that may result in Charter challenges? How capable is Parliament in requiring government to justify and explain legislative choices that may impair rights? In Charter Conflicts Janet Hiebert examines these questions while analyzing the Charter's influence on controversial legislative decisions such as social benefits for lesbians and gay men, the regulation of tobacco advertising, the rules of evidence for sexual assault trials, the use of DNA for law enforcement purposes, and the rules for police searches of private residences. She questions the broadly held assumption that only courts are capable of respecting rights, arguing that Parliament shares responsibility with the judiciary for resolving Charter conflicts. She views the Charter's significance less in terms of the judiciary overruling Parliament than in the incentives and pressures it provides for public and political officials to satisfy themselves that legislation is consistent with protected rights.
Book Synopsis A Charter of Negative Liberties (Second Edition) by : C Howard Diaz
Download or read book A Charter of Negative Liberties (Second Edition) written by C Howard Diaz and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm not one of these conservatives who believe freedom of speech gives anyone the right to burn our flag. I'm not a conservative who believes there is no such thing as treason or *treasonous statements. I'm a conservative who believes evil people will use our Constitutional rights to their advantage against us. I don't believe the A.C.L.U. represents the true intent of the Constitution. I don't believe the National Education Association wants to teach our children or represents all teachers. I don't believe the National Organization for Women represents all women. I don't believe La Raza represents all Mexicans. I don't believe the N.A.A.C.P. or P.U.S.H. represents all blacks. I don't believe environmental organizations like Greenpeace, The Sierra Club or Nature Conservancy or the National Resource Defense Council represent any part of this planet or are making any attempt to save anything, especially humans. I believe the leadership of these organizations represents an ideology with core values set in socialism. And for socialists, ideology is thicker than race, thicker than gender, thicker than sexual preference, thicker than the environment and definitely thicker than nationality. Socialists are loyal to likeminded races, likeminded gender, likeminded sexual preference, likeminded environmentalists and likeminded nationalities. Socialists are not loyal to our country; they use our Constitution to tear our country apart. In the case of environmental leadership, they are not loyal to our country, science or humanity! Any American citizen who puts forth the idea that the United States of America should subordinate the American Constitution or any American citizen to the United Nations, International Court or any other organization does so without the consent of the Constitution or American citizens. Any fool who wants to subordinate us to a world order is a socialist. Since socialism is opposed to Capitalism and a complete free market as we were founded as a free Capitalistic Republic, socialism is UN-AMERICAN. In this NEW SECOND EDITION, Diaz has expanded the original book by adding a chapter and adding to others. He goes as far as suggesting amendments to our Constitution. This book is not a book updated to 2023, it remains a 2012 published book that has been added to and expanded as a Second Edition of the first book.
