How do we ensure that elections are free and fair? For the past few years, we've heard more and more false claims about stolen elections, but the truth is that our election systems are very well-managed. Yes, there are areas where systems can be improved, but among the biggest problems in our election system now are misinformation about the elections and the skepticism that this creates.In this episode, I speak with Meghan Cook, Program Director of the Center for Technology in Government at the University at Albany, and two election experts – Tom Connolly, the Director of Election Operations at the New York State Board of Elections, and Brendan Lovullo, the Deputy Director of Election Operations at the New York State Board of Elections. In our discussion, we talk about how elections are managed in New York State and elsewhere, and we address some common misconceptions head-on. We talk about how votes are counted, how election machines are secured, how election workers address problems that arise, and much more.This episode was first aired in November of 2022.

Today starts New Machine Month at the Onondaga County Board of Elections. I talk today about the beginning of our hopeful change over to a new voting system, the path to certification of new voting systems at the NYS Board of Elections. Check in weekly for our progress.

Today we team up with Stephanie Eberhard-Holgerson's journalism class at Bayport Blue Point (BBP) High School to try to solve a mystery. At the suggestion of BBP's librarian Pam Gustafson, the class has spent the last year looking into the school's mascot, The Phantoms. The takeaway is that the straightforward question "where did the name come from" has yielded a very convoluted answer. Digging into the research, the class combed school yearbooks, local newspaper archives, Board of Education minutes, and more. Their investigations took them down many paths, touching upon early aviation history, the foundations of ghost stories, local legends, and rival high school teams. They debunked some myths and found compelling evidence for others. They've also discovered a new appreciation for Long Island history and for the need of documenting school decisions for future generations.  Further Research Origin of BBP's “Phantoms” Name Bayport-Blue Point Heritage Association Bayport Yearbooks(NY Heritage) Section XI Athletics (NYSPHSAA) Use of Indigenous Names, Mascots, and Logos (NYS Board of Regents) Audio Footnotes Episode 168: Bayport History Past episodes under Native Americans

Aria walked into a foundation board room a few years ago and Ruth Turner stopped speaking to the person next to her, pointed at Aria, and said, “I have a dress in that same fabric.” And so began their friendship! What started as an enthusiastic conversation over Ghanaian fabrics and clothes designed by a mutual friend, turned into one of Aria's most important relationships of her adulthood.   Ruth B. Turner graduated from Nazareth College of Rochester receiving a B.S. in Social Work and an MSW from University of Buffalo. She also holds an MS. Ed from SUNY Brockport. She is a licensed Clinical Social Worker who has served the profession for over 24 years.    Dr. Turner is known as a champion of children and families in Rochester, New York which she calls home. As an educator, she has committed herself to the principles of restorative practices, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Under her administrative leadership with Rochester City School District (RCSD), she worked to support the most vulnerable students and was an advocate for all students and families. In her tenure, she led the revision of the student code of conduct. She also led the district in adopting restorative justice initiatives in terms of student discipline, as was a key leader of anti-racism work for the district.    For over 13 years she served the Rochester City School District as a social worker, Director, and Executive Director for student support services. Before her departure, she served as the Chief for Student Support and Social Emotional Learning. Before joining RCSD she led the foster care and adoption unit for the Urban League of Rochester. She also spent several years as a trainer for the Center for the Development of Human Services, where she focused on child welfare services.    Ruth's commitment to the intersection of social work, social welfare, and education began very early in life, rooted in her experience immigrating to the US as a political refugee from Eritrea. It was the kindness and diligence of a social worker who aided her successful transition during one of the most challenging periods in her life. Through the support and advocacy of individuals like this social worker, Ruth graduated from the RCSD and attended college as a 1st generation college student. She has never forgotten the power of support in mitigating the effects of adverse events in childhood, that can aid in helping individuals to reach their fullest potential.   Dr. Turner is married to Dr. William R. Turner Jr., Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies at SUNY Brockport. Together they have three children.   Links: Black Mental Health: https://nami.org/About-NAMI/NAMI-News/2020/NAMI-s-Statement-On-Recent-Racist-Incidents-and-Mental-Health-Resources-for-African-Americans?gclid=CjwKCAjwieuGBhAsEiwA1Ly_ne82WI56amGffdzBDOoCzPzwpg9t5RU0SQ3h7QKCc6fP5u7fYZih_RoC5UQQAvD_BwE Eritrea War of Independence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrean_War_of_Independence High Expectations: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/10/24/study-finds-high-school-teachers-have-differing-expectations-black-and-white https://hub.jhu.edu/2016/03/30/racial-bias-teacher-expectations-black-white/ https://www.edweek.org/leadership/teachers-lower-expectations-for-black-students-may-become-self-fulfilling-prophecies-study-finds/2017/10 John Turner: https://theithacan.org/writer/john-turner/page/4/ https://www.regents.nysed.gov/ https://www2.naz.edu/   Keywords: Black, educator, social worker, mental health, social emotional health, children, family, Eritrea, refugee, doctor of Education, high expectations, political refugee, support, idea of self, self-determination, social justice, civil rights, NYS Board of Regents, DEI, Restorative Practice, Nazareth College

In today's "Producer Picks" segment, we revisit an earlier conversation with Catherine Collins, the WNY representative on the NYS Board of Regents. She talks about teaching on race, curriculum, and as always what the community needs are along Jefferson Avenue. Then Leah Watson from the American Civil Liberties Union looks at some districts across the U.S., where increasing censorship is so strong that teachers have not been able to discuss the Tops shootings - or other racial issues- with their students.

New York's Board of Regents has unanimously approved new guidelines that provides more oversight of private and religious schools. Thousands of kids who graduated from Yeshivas lacked basic academic skills, including the ability to read English.

And then he speaks with Leah Watson of the ACLU on education and censorship of what teachers are allowed to teach.

Texas Association of School Boards to Leave National OrganizationBy Brandon Waltens  May 23, 2022McKinney School Board President Sued for Squelching Free SpeechBy Erin AndersonMay 18, 2022"The school administration refuses to allow any public debate concerning this book. Parents have been silenced. The most recently conducted zoom meeting on March 4th continued to make it clear that what they say goes, no one else was allowed to speak. All of us were muted by the school administration, questions that were sent by me amongst others were ignored. The meetings are fully orchestrated theatrical performances that fail to address parents' concerns.Parents' rights have been violated and we demand immediate intervention.The Bill of Rights published on the DOE site unambiguously states:Parents have the right to:Participate in regular written or verbal communication with teachers and other school staff and share concerns regarding their child's academic, social and behavioral progress;Participate in meaningful and productive parent-teacher conferences to discuss their child's progress in school and have access to other school staff, as appropriate, throughout the school year to discuss concerns;have their child learn in a safe and supportive learning environment, free from discrimination, harassment, bullying, and bigotry.Parents have every right to be allowed to speak to their children's school administration and should not be silenced. This is a public school, taxpayer-funded, and should not be permitted to completely shut down open discussion about our children's education. The school should be required to abide by the federal and state constitutions and basic principles of allowing parents to speak about concerns they have regarding their children's education. Such conduct reminds me of the country I grew up in with a totalitarian regime where one was not allowed to speak freely. The authoritarianism or totalitarianism the US Supreme Court said is unconstitutional.Public Officers (PBO) CHAPTER 47, ARTICLE 7. § 103 is known as the open meetings law. Except PS 158 has a total disregard for it.The NYS Board of Regents publishes many statements about civic readiness, including “Demonstrate respect for the rights of others in discussions and classroom debates, and how to respectfully disagree with other viewpoints and provide evidence for a counterargument.” Something PS 158 feels does not apply to them as these children are very young, and the rights of others in discussions, equally applies to the parents of these very young children. They want to teach respect of others, yet show total disdain for the viewpoints of the parents of these children when it suits their own political agenda.Please take action to require this school's administration to immediately set up a forum and allow for public discourse."

The New York State Board of Regents has drafted a diversity, equity, and inclusion call to action. Did they finally acknowledge the oppressive effects of systemic racism? Did they recognize their role in perpetuating such? Will they hold schools accountable for inaction and silence surrounding this topic? Larry Levy (Hofstra), Brandy Scott (LIBEA), Dafny Irizarry (LILTA), and I discuss if this call to action is enough.
