Thus, I support the following position of Minnesota AFL-CIO president, Bill McCarthy regarding Minneapolis Police Union president, Bob Kroll:

MINNESOTA AFL-CIO CALLS FOR MINNEAPOLIS POLICE UNION PRESIDENT BOB KROLL’S IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION

Jun 2 2020

Minnesota AFL-CIO President Bill McCarthy issued the following statement calling on Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis President Bob Kroll to immediately resign:

Minneapolis Police Union President, Bob Kroll, has failed the Labor Movement and the residents of Minneapolis.

He advocates for military-style police tactics making communities less safe and the police force more deadly. Despite his conduct, Kroll was reelected with an overwhelming majority. If Bob Kroll does not value the lives that he is sworn to protect, then we can only expect more death under his leadership.

However, there’s no time like the present for preparing for the future! I know many teachers have used Google Classroom to facilitate asynchronous

Research Studies Of The Week

by Larry Ferlazzo / 22h

I often write about research studies from various fields and how they can be applied to the classroom. I write individual posts about ones that I think are especially significant, and will continue to do so. However, so many studies are published that it’s hard to keep up. So I’ve started writing a “round-up” of some of them each week or every other week as a regular feature . By the way, you mig
