American Heroics - The Untold Stories of Everyday Heroes in America's Schools

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In the heart of America's schools, a quiet revolution is taking place. It is a revolution led by unsung heroes—teachers, principals, and students—who are transforming lives and redefining the meaning of success.

In this inspiring book, we bring you the stories of these everyday heroes. You will meet teachers who go above and beyond to create inclusive and supportive learning environments, where every child feels seen, heard, and valued. You will encounter principals who are relentless advocates for their students, fighting for the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. And you will hear from students who have overcome tremendous obstacles to achieve their dreams, using education as their ladder out of poverty, discrimination, and despair.

Their stories are a powerful reminder that education is not merely about test scores and grades; it is about empowering young people with the knowledge, skills, and resilience they need to navigate an ever-changing world. It is about providing them with the tools to unlock their full potential, to become productive members of society, and to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Yet, the challenges facing our schools are undeniable. Socioeconomic disparities, language barriers, and special needs pose significant obstacles to student success. Budget cuts and teacher shortages further strain our education system, threatening to undermine the opportunities available to our children.

But amidst these challenges, the heroes of our schools rise up. They are the ones who refuse to give up on our children, who fight for their right to a quality education, and who inspire them to dream big and achieve their full potential.

Their stories are a testament to the power of human spirit, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope and determination can prevail. They are a call to action, urging us to support our schools and to invest in the future of our nation's children.

Magnet Ass––And The Stone Cold...

Will Cunningham

Magnet Ass and the Stone-Cold Truck Hunters is a Vietnam war memoir about Captain Alan "Magnet Ass" Milacek, the "man who flew his plane on one wing". It is a war story. But it is also not a war story. It has everything to do with a white-hot mission over the Plain of Jars in 1970, for which 10 men earned The Mackay Trophy, one of history's most coveted aviation awards - and at the same time, it has nothing to do with any of that at all.Magnet Ass is gritty and it is holy, sometimes full of shit and shrapnel - and at other times as demure as a duck flying over a pond in the dead of winter. Flashing between 1970 Asia and present day Oklahoma, Magnet Ass is poignantly written, meticulously researched, and narratively gripping. This incredible moment in the annals of air force history becomes a story about the power of kindness, courage, and tenacity in the face of uncertainty and fear. It becomes the story of two men pondering the past and finding themselves not only in remembering, but in relationship. Magnet Ass is at once a potent war story, a lushly written memoir, and a tale of the power of the everyday impossible, which any of us can strive to achieve.

The Anarchist Movement - A...

Arlo Holders

Anarchism, as both a philosophy and a political movement, seeks to abolish hierarchical structures of power, particularly the state, and promote a society based on voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and self-governance. The term “anarchy” is often misunderstood and associated with chaos or disorder, but in the context of anarchism, it refers to the absence of coercive authority, not lawlessness. Anarchism challenges the legitimacy of centralized governments, institutions, and systems that perpetuate inequality and domination, advocating instead for decentralized, egalitarian forms of social organization. 
The roots of anarchism can be traced back to the philosophical and political developments of the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in the Enlightenment. Thinkers such as William Godwin and Jean-Jacques Rousseau laid the groundwork for anarchist thought by critiquing the rise of centralized authority and envisioning societies based on the autonomy of individuals and communities. However, it was in the 19th century that anarchism began to take shape as a distinct political ideology, largely influenced by the writings and activism of figures like Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, and Peter Kropotkin. 
Central to anarchist theory is the belief in individual freedom and autonomy. Anarchists argue that all individuals should have the right to govern their own lives without interference from external authorities, whether those authorities are political, economic, or social. Anarchism posits that society can function without the need for a state, which is often seen as a coercive and oppressive institution. Instead, anarchists advocate for decentralized forms of governance, such as direct democracy, mutual aid, and voluntary association, where decisions are made collectively by communities rather than imposed by a centralized authority.
