Introduction	Politically mature left of center progressive and growing increasingly uncomfortable identifying with the democratic party. Teach AP Language and Composition at the High School level and have also taught at the Junior College level. Generally displeased with the state of education in the U.S. and even more displeased with misguided talking heads who are busy devising solutions based on their usually false assumptions, that they of course know what the problem is. Within the universe of education I am somewhat of an oddity; an African-American male who teaches English.
