COMMENTARY

The Burden of College Loan Debt

By Jesse Jackson, National Political Writer more. Full-time tuition costs $25,368, with room and board and other expenses, a year at Morehouse can cost nearly $50,000. Ninety percent of Morehouse students get some kind of financial aid, cobbling together Pell grants, federal and private loans, family loans and more.

Morehouse seniors who borrow to pay for college carry an average of $26,000 in federal student loans. Private loans, federal Parent Plus loans, credit card and other debts are on top of that. The federal student loans alone would result in a monthly payment of $276.

Robert F. Smith

T

he reaction -- shock, joy, disbelief, euphoria -- revealed the importance of Robert F. Smith’s stunning gift, when he announced, unexpectedly, that he would pay off all the college debts of Morehouse College students graduating this year. His gift literally changed the prospects and the lives of the vast majority of those 396 graduates.

Morehouse is a proud, historically black college, the alma mater of extraordinary leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Julian Bond, Howard Thurman, Maynard Jackson, former head of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, former head of the black caucus Cedric Richmond, Hollywood legends Samuel L. Jackson and Spike Lee, Olympic champion Edwin Moses and many

POLITICAL

Robert F Smith’s generosity has literally transformed the lives of those students. Now instead of putting off graduate school or being forced to live at home, and later postponing marriage and children, they are free to benefit from the hard work they have done to graduate from college. They can seek jobs that they want, without being forced to take one or more that can help them pay down their loans. They are free to dream.

Many of those benefiting from Smith’s remarkable generosity expressed what one student, Myles Washington, called a “level of survivor’s guilt.” All had friends who could not afford to go to college, or who were forced to withdraw early in the face of growing debts.

Robert F. Smith is a billionaire, the brilliant founder of Vista Equity Partners, who has made a fortune largely

With this gift, he has set a standard for others of great wealth. He has, as he put it at the Morehouse commencement, “paid it forward,” by freeing the potential of young graduates.

His gift should also rouse Congress to redress the folly of shackling the best of the young generation with often unpayable debt simply to get the education this country says they need.

Student loan debt now totals over 1.5 trillion dollars. After home mortgages, it is the largest source of debt, exceeding car loans and credit card debts. Almost two-thirds of all students are forced to borrow to pay for college; they end with an average debt of nearly $29,000. The debt of African-American students is, on average, $7,400 more than that of white students, reflecting the wealth gap that has built up over years of slavery, segregation and housing and employment discrimination.

Democratic presidential candidates like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont

are calling for making public colleges tuition free. Warren has put forth a detailed plan to pay off a substantial portion of existing student loans. Some like Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) say we can’t afford to do that. But we are a wealthier country than Germany, yet college there is free.

This is a question of priorities not resources. The number of corporations that pay nothing in taxes has doubled under Donald Trump’s tax cut. The cost of that tax cut, most of which went to the already wealthy, is estimated at $1.7 trillion over 10 years. That alone would have been able to pay off all current student debts.

Robert Smith’s generous promise should goad all of us into action. It is a personal tragedy and a national folly to burden an entire generation with often unpayable loans simply to get an education. We all benefit from a well-educated, active population. We all suffer when an entire generation is locked into debt from the day they get out of college.

Smith has freed nearly 400 Morehouse graduates from that burden. We should demand that Congress act to offer every student that relief.

O’Rourke Announces Immigration Plan Ending Family Separation, Offering Solution for Dreamers CNN/StyleMagazine.com Newswire

O’Rourke Announces Immigration Plan Ending Family Separation, Offering Solution for Dreamers CNN/StyleMagazine.com Newswire 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke unveiled his immigration policy plan Wednesday morning, arguing that his border roots make him the best candidate to roll back Trump administration policies and spearhead major changes to modernize the US immigration system.

The plan takes a three-pronged approach, O’Rourke’s campaign said: rescinding “inhumane” Trump administration policies such as family separations at the border;

convincing Congress to pass better immigration laws, including a legislative solution for the so-called Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as children; and investing $5 billion in Central America to help address the root causes of migration.

“As a fourth-generation El Pasoan, Beto uniquely recognizes the urgency of fixing our broken immigration and naturalization system,” the plan states.

“Rooted in his experience serving the largest binational community in the Western Hemisphere -- one that draws its strength and prosperity from its rich heritage of welcoming immigrants -- Beto is proposing

a new path forward to ensure we honor our laws, live up to our values, and once again harness the power of a new generation of immigration toward our shared prosperity.”

O’Rourke isn’t the first Democratic candidate to offered a detailed immigration plan. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro unveiled his immigration plan last month, including a proposal to repeal a Bush-era immigration law that makes entering the US illegally a criminal violation.

But O’Rourke told CNN’s Leyla Santiago Tuesday that his plan stands out from others’.

“I think we go a lot further than really anyone in this plan,” he said.

“But if there is a drug trafficker or someone who poses a threat or harm to our families here in this country, absolutely, we should be able to criminally prosecute them,” O’Rourke later added. “So I wouldn’t want to remove that as an option in every case, but I would acknowledge that the vast majority of families who are attempting to petition for asylum do not pose a threat and should not be criminally prosecuted.”

O’Rourke said as president, he would use executive action to repeal several Trump administration policies, including the travel

www.stylemagazine.com

ban and an policy shift that’s made it harder for migrant women and children who are victims of domestic violence to qualify for asylum.

Among the biggest shifts in O’Rourke’s plan: how the United States approaches immigrant detention. Only migrants “with criminal backgrounds representing a danger to our communities” would face mandatory detention, according to the plan. O’Rourke also implied that he would reduce detention in favor of “community-based programs and family case management.”

Additionally, private, for-profit detention centers would no longer receive federal funding because their “incentive is profit, not security,” the plan states -- a potentially significant change as the majority of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities are run by private contractors.

In addition, the immigration court system would be moved out of the jurisdiction of the Justice Department and turned into an independent entity -- a move immigrant rights advocates, attorneys and immigration judges have been pushing for -- and over 2,000 lawyers would be sent to the border in conjunction with “funding a robust right to counsel.”

LO CAL & STATE BRIEFS

St. Peter The Apostle Catholic School Closing

HoustonPublicMedia.org fter 77 years of educating children in Houston’s Third Ward, St. Peter The Apostle Catholic School is closing its doors. Houston Public Media reports the superintendent over the archdiocese’s schools, Debra Haney, said that a lot of the decision came down to financial pressure. It’s also a reflection of the toll that charter schools have put on not just public schools, but also parochial schools like St. Peter’s.

A

She said that over the last five years, enrollment has declined by more than 70%. Tuition brings in between $1,000 and $3,000 per student. Donations and subsidies from the archdiocese help, and about a third of the parish budget supports the school. But Haney said it wasn’t enough sustain the $1 million budget. The principal, Toni Marshall, and St. Peter’s pastor, Father Faustinus Okeyikam, tried to recruit more students. But it proved difficult.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott

Carmen-Ponder

DFW.CBSLocal.com exas Gov. Greg Abbott said that $1.6 billion in teacher raises are coming. Abbott trumpeted the pay hikes near the end the Texas Legislative session. A spending bill is not yet signed but is expected to reach Abbott’s desk before lawmakers adjourn until 2021. It makes Texas the latest state — and now the largest — to pour significant new dollars into classrooms in wake of teacher revolts across the U.S. since 2017. Public school teachers in Texas don’t collectively bargain and never went on strike, but teacher unions said they made their resentment known at the ballot box last year.

Teacher salaries in Texas are currently about $7,000 below the national average, according to the National Education Association. Lawmakers who worked on the new spending plan says the raises amount to roughly $4,000 for teachers with more than five years in the classroom.

USNews.com beauty pageant winner has sued a Texas city and its former police chief over an evading arrest charge that was later dropped. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports Carmen Ponder filed the federal civil rights lawsuit Monday in Dallas over her May 2017 arrest in Commerce. Ponder won the Miss Black Texas competition in 2016. Ponder’s lawsuit says Commerce’s then-police Chief Kerry Crews, who was off-duty, arrested her without reason during a confrontation over a traffic incident involving another driver. Crews resigned the following month, took an administrative job with the city and now is a justice of the peace. Commerce City Manager Darrek Ferrell and the city’s attorney, Jay Garrett, declined comment on Ponder’s lawsuit. Crews didn’t immediately return a message for comment Wednesday.

Texas Moves to Arm More Teachers to Prevent School Shootings

NBCDW.com exas moved a big step closer to arming more teachers and school personnel as a way to help prevent future campus shootings, under a bill sent to Gov. Greg Abbott. The measure approved Wednesday night by the state Senate changes the 6-year-old school marshal program that had limited the number of armed marshals, and instead opens campuses to as many as local school districts feel they need. The bill was among several school security measures pushed

by Gov. Greg Abbott after a gunman killed eight students and two substitute teachers at Santa Fe High School near Houston on May 18, 2018. Abbott, a Republican, is expected to sign the bill into law. None of the changes the Republican-controlled Legislature has advanced include any new restrictions on gun purchase or ownership.

State to Do Away with Writing STAAR

KVEO.com nder House Bill 3906, fourth and seventh graders would no longer take the writing STAAR test that tests a student’s ability to compose, revise and edit a variety of written texts. But writing will still be a testing subject. The bill will add writing questions on the third through eighth grade reading tests without adding a lot more testing time. An action that STAAR critics say will expand testing because more students would be tested on writing material. Under the bill, an advisory committee would be appointed to guide the development of the test, and require the STAAR to be offered on more than one day, breaking the test up into three smaller parts that would be taken throughout the school year. Each section will be designed so that most students can complete it in 60 minutes or 75 minutes, depending on the grade level.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration hiked tariffs to 25% on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods. The tariffs applied to consumer products such as luggage, mattresses, handbags, bicycles, vacuum cleaners and air conditioners. Additionally, the Trump administration has threatened to expand tariffs on Chinese imports to an additional $325 billion in goods — including toys, clothes, shoes and consumer electronics.

Safer or Scarier: How Will Children of Color Feel About Armed Teachers?

By Nicole Lynne Gray, Style Feature Writer

T

o be clear: I agree that immediate action is needed to protect our children from recurring gun violence in our schools. In fact, just two weeks ago I wrote a call to action, here, urging that “Our Schools Have Become Warzones, Our Children at the Front Lines: Question Is, When Are We, ‘The Adults, ‘ Going to Join Them?” Is the best course of action to put more guns in our schools without any restrictions on gun purchase or ownership though? Texas lawmakers seem to think so. Last Wednesday, the Texas Senate approved a bill which is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Abbot which will allows districts to arm more teachers and personnel through the state’s school marshal program. The current marshal program, which was put in place shortly after the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, allows districts to arm one marshal per 200 students or one per building. The new law removes the limitation on the number of armed marshals a school can have.

If you are thinking, adding guns will not make schools safer, you are not alone. Many teachers’ groups and gun control advocates worry that more guns in schools will lead to more incidents of violence. My greater concerns lie with children of color, especially those in the inner city. Will arming more teachers and personnel make them feel safer given: 1) children of color are disciplined at higher rates and more harshly than their white counterparts; 2) many have already been disenfranchised by an increase in law enforcement pres-

10

ence at schools in the wake of recent shootings; and 3) with no restrictions on gun ownership or purchase, who is to know if the teacher has intentions of being the mass shooter or worse, judge, jury, and executioner based on inherent racial bias.

First, there is a wealth of research, including federal data derived from the Civil Rights Data Collection as recent as 2018, which substantiates the discipline disparities between children of color and their white peers. However, a recent study conducted by researchers at Princeton University, and highlighted in the Forbes Magazine article, “Black Students ‘Face Racial Bias’ In School Discipline” linked, for the first time, ‘the greater likelihood of black students being punished at school with levels of racial bias in the surrounding community.’ Plus, we have all seen the headlines of seemingly innocuous incidents involving children of color escalate into criminal matters at school.

Take the instance earlier this year where a Florida sixth-grader was arrested for a dispute with his substitute teacher over his right to refuse to recite the pledge of allegiance. Let that sink in; an 11year old…was arrested…from school.

These types of incidents and the new research stokes my fear in the progression of racial bias translating into that which has escalated in recent years and resulted in ‘justifiable’ homicides of boys and men of color by cops and civilians, alike. This contingency alone is enough for me to second guess this approach when viewing the possibility

May 30 – June 5, 2019

of armed teachers through the eyes of children of color.

Beyond that contingency is the fact that recent studies of increased police presence in schools, in response to school shootings, have resulted in a decline in achievement and attendance for black boys in New York City and lower graduation and college attendance rates for black and Hispanic students in Texas. This is alarming especially given the purpose of having armed guards in schools being to provide a safe learning environment for our children. One can only conclude from such statistics that students no longer viewing school as a safe institution for learning and growth.

Will arming more school personnel add to those statistics? The possibility is real as the New York City researchers concluded of the police presence that that type of “[a]ggressive, broken-windows policing may have negative effects by undermining trust in authorities, including schools and teachers, and by leading to withdrawal and system avoidance.”

Lastly, with no proposed regulations on gun ownership and purchase, there is always the real chance that the one will ill intentions could be the armed teacher.

Just last week, two teachers in different states were arrested from elementary school campuses with alleged nefarious motives. On Tuesday, a 38-year old North Carolina elementary school teacher was arrested for communicating a threat of mass violence when she allegedly told three of her fellow teachers that she would signal them when she was about to start shooting. The day

before, in Florida, a 49-year old fourth grade teacher was arrested for taking a Glock 9mm handgun loaded with seven rounds of ammunition, a six-inch fighting knife and a two-inch finger knife into the class while students were in school. I shudder to think of what may have happened had these two not been arrested. Even worse are my thoughts of a teacher fueled by racial bias, with ill intentions, possessing a gun in a classroom full of ‘unruly’ students of color.

So, although I am in favor of acting on behalf of our children who have been desperately crying out for our help, I am inclined to listen to them and say arming teachers and other personnel will not make schools safer. As one student tweeted following a school shooting, which took place last March 90 miles outside of Atlanta, “@NRA my favorite teacher at Dalton high school just blockaded his door and proceeded to shoot. We had to run out the back of the school in the rain. Students were being trampled and screaming. I dare you to tell me arming teachers will make us safe.” And for the reasons I’ve cited here I double down on this sentiment as it relates to children of color.

Good news, the new law will not require that districts have any schools, it only eliminates the restriction on the number of marshals a school can have.

That means, we have an opportunity to speak up for children of color at the district level to share these concerns.

We want our schools to be safer for our children, not scarier.

FINANCE More than Half of Americans Are

Unprepared for Natural Disasters: Are You?

By StatePoint

• Save important financial documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, wills, deeds, tax returns, insurance policies and stock and bond certificates, on a thumb drive. These records are often needed for tax and insurance purposes.

• Make a visual or written record of your possessions, including cars, boats and recreational vehicles. Or, use an inventory booklet and make a simple list.

• Photograph your home exterior, including landscaping, making special note of any improvements, such as a patio, fencing or outbuildings, as these may increase property value.

O

nly 39 percent of respondents in a FEMA survey say they have developed an emergency plan and discussed it with their households.

When a natural disaster strikes, moving your family to immediate safety is always the top priority, which means there is often little time to think about the financial details that can make the recovery process go smoothly. That’s why it’s crucial to be proactive and prepared for whatever comes your way.

“Disasters occur during every season and on all different scales,” says Rullah Price, senior vice president and community outreach director, Wells Fargo Home Lending. “That is why being prepared is so critical in today’s environment.”

Committed to helping its customers impacted by all types of natural disasters, Wells Fargo is offering the following tips, to help plan in advance for worst-case scenarios:

• Consider setting up online banking, mobile banking, bill pay and electronic account alerts. This will help you stay on top of your accounts and bills if you’re displaced from your home.

• Lastly, have cash or an emergency fund. A disaster can shut down local ATMs and banks. After a disaster, you may need cash for the first few days, or even several weeks.

It is also important to know that when a disaster is approaching, many financial institutions will send updates. This will

help pave the way for a speedy recovery. For example, once Wells Fargo is aware of a pending disaster, the bank begins communicating immediately with customers who might be impacted, using numerous virtual channels, such as email, text, ATMs and social media -- to alert them where to call for information and assistance should they suffer sustained damage.

After a disaster, wait until it’s safe to return to your property. Then, assess for damage, including your automobiles.

Call your lender and insurance company to file a claim as soon as possible if you have sustained damages. It is also helpful to know in advance if and what resources your financial institutions provide. For example, Wells Fargo customers -- including those with home mortgages, home equities and auto loans -- can contact 800-TO-WELLS or visit wellsfargo.com/recovery.

Don’t wait until disaster is at your doorstep to plan. Preparation today can pave the way for a smoother financial recovery process in the wake of a natural disaster or emergency scenario.

We wanted to learn more about Float Therapy, so we took a trip over to Nimas Float & Spa in Mokena, IL. We were told to eat light before our session and had the option to float with a swimsuit or

nude, based on our comfort level. Once we got there Maggie Smith, one of the spa owners, eased our fears of drowning and being trapped in a float room (hey, we’re human and have a few fears too!).

Lucky for us, Nimas Float & Spa utilizes float rooms instead of float tanks.

A lot of this back and forth goes on as the Houston Texans finish up their second week of OTA’s at the practice field of NRG Stadium. Most of the rookies and unsigned free agents have learned the schedules and generic playbook that they have been given and are starting to show their athletic abilities on the field.

This bodes well for those who are looking for an invite back to training camp and the signed rookies who are trying to earn playing time.

Tytus Howard, who was the Texans first round draft pick this year has made some tremendous strides in learning the game on the pro level. Last week he didn’t look so good against the veteran defensive lineman and linebackers, but you can tell he has been in the film room studying his techniques. It showed today as he picked up the different combinations thrown at him and protected QB Deshaun Watson’s blindside.

Another rookie who is showing the Texans that he is worthy of the second-round pick used on him in this year’s draft is offensive tackle Max Scharping out of Northern Illinois. He was constantly going up against defensive lineman, D.J. Reader and held his own for most of the drills.

“I am just trying to adapt to the speed of the game and those guys have been playing at a high-level for a long time,” Scharping said when asked about playing on the NFL level.

The Texans will have their last OTA practice on next week in preparation for mini-camp in June.

“Becoming a Hair Stylist” by Kate Bolick

By Terri Schlichenmeyer, Book Reviewer

144 pages

for instance, used juniper berries to hide their grays. Roman women used leeches fermented in vinegar as a dye. Wealthy women a century ago had servants do their ‘do’s; just sixty years ago, few people washed their hair more than once a week and most women did their hair at home.

Stylist,” and while it’ll help prospective beauticians to decide if the career is right for them, this book is also a little disappointing.

Author Kate Bolick relies quite heavily on the story and experiences of one salon owner and her employees in New York City, adding snippets of tale from other large cities, but she misses writing about neighborhood and rural salon owners whose stories could have added so much more to the overall. That lack does a disservice to the multi-thousands of people hoping to become small-town independent stylists; this, and a dearth of pitfalls a salon owner might find, further lessens the information within.

Says Bolick, America’s first hair salon belonged to Martha Harper, who’d inherited a secret formula for hair growth in the late 1880s. During Harper’s time, women grew their hair as long as possible; short hair was “a sign of poverty.” For Black women, Madame C.J. Walker’s potions and pomades revolutionized how their hair was styled, and she became a millionaire for it.

In the 1950s and 60s, though, Vidal Sassoon and Vogue magazine made going to the salon a thing every woman wanted to do: getting your hair styled at a salon was suddenly affordable, and stylists were believe to be specialists with skills – even though, at the same time, people often callously thought that styling hair was a career for those lacking intelligence.

Today becoming a hair stylist takes a lot of hard work, training, and keen people skills. You’ll have to get a certain amount of schooling, depending on the

You’ll get tons of hands-on experience, and if you want to style African American hair, you may take extra classes before tackling a two-part licensing test. Once you’ve done that, says Bolick, “the sky is the limit.”

And yet – for a high-schooler thinking about cosmetology school, or for an adult heading back to school, this book offers at least a basic start. If that’s for you and you’re eager to get going, “Becoming a Hair Stylist” is a book to curl up with.
