Possibly they heard then footsteps of the community marching but it looks like TECH may be opening up sooner than some of the community activists had planned (I attended a few meetings).
I thought I heard DR. LATHAM all giddy about opening up LYNN TECH at night. Mentioning current adult literacy programs and how some of the teachers are willing to work some in the evening for classes. There was talk about some special three day courses over Thanksgiving. Stay tuned to the papers, we were told. It'll be fun. Of course, the other LSC meeting for the month was cancelled. Scheduling conflict you know.
What is it all about? Is the OCCUPY LVTI movement dead, circumvented by CATHE and her prodigy PARADIS? Who cares cause we're getting what we want, open sesame.
NOT SO FAST
Let's look a little closer. It's all about control. See the OCCUPY LVTI movement was about maximum utilization of resources, consumer control. It was more about TECH being used as a community center. Everyone is all for education but not everyone is for the controlled dispensation of knowledge. For Whom Does The Bell Ring? It Rings For Thee? Maybe, but you have to ask who is doing the ringing?
Once all the activism stops, who's gonna keep the lights on?
FYI there was a meeting regarding the results of the launch meeting this past Monday which began just after 5:00. There were people from the community as well as Maria Carrasco, Hong Net and Ceferino Rosa. A plan of action was laid out for your information and it seems from the tone of your article you want it to fail before it's been given a chance to get a foot over the ground let alone on the ground.
ReplyDeleteActually nothing could be farther from the trurh. I am afraid that the administration is trying to wrest control from from the community at large. I am goof friend and a strong supporter of everyone you mentioned. Oh, yiu firgit Pete Capano.
