President Obama to Deliver Final Keynote at 46th ALC Phoenix Awards Dinner
Aug 24, 2016
WASHINGTON — The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Incorporated (CBCF) today announced that President Barack Obama will deliver his seventh and final keynote address at its 46th Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) Phoenix Awards Dinner. The event is scheduled for 6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The evening’s co-emcees will be Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, and actress Sanaa Lathan, who has a new show premiering this fall on FOX. Honorary co-chairs of this year’s conference are U.S. Representatives Karen Bass of California and Lacy Clay of Missouri.
“President Obama is our nation’s most influential and demonstrable voice. We are honored to have him speak at the Phoenix Awards dinner,” said R. Donahue Peebles, chairman of the CBCF board of directors. “In the face of great challenges, his historic two terms in office have strengthened America’s resolve to close the persistent gaps between the daily realities and the actual well-being and security of African Americans.”
The Phoenix Award is the CBCF’s highest honor, presented to individuals whose extraordinary achievements strengthen communities and improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities, nationally and globally.
“We are extremely proud of the leadership, civic engagement and commitment shown by this year’s honorees—and salute their efforts to promote empowerment and respect for and among all people,” said CBCF president and CEO, A. Shuanise Washington. “Our honorees embody the foundation’s 40-year commitment to raise awareness and address the challenges African Americans face every day in education, health care, minority business development and entrepreneurship.”

Trump Fails A Crucial Test
Mike Segar / Reuters
Weingarten being “disarmed” by a student in the public safety CTE program at Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh.
By Randi Weingarten
President, American Federation of Teachers
09/17/2016 11:31 pm ET | Updated September 18, 2016
Donald Trump doesn’t have any use for public schools — he never attended them, sent his kids to them or supported civic efforts to strengthen them.
So perhaps it’s no surprise that Trump would propose a plan that would decimate public education [ http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/donald-trump-school-choice-proposal-227915 ]. But 90 percent of America’s children attend public schools. Trump’s plan to expand failed voucher programs and destabilize public schools is a grave threat to them and to this essential public good.
Trump’s $20 billion proposal to “voucherize” public education [ http://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/trumpmyths_education.pdf ] would harm 10 children for every 1 child he purports to help. It appears that Trump would cut all Title I funding for low-income students and an additional $5 billion in federal education funding.
The Title I cuts alone could strip funding from up to 56,000 public schools serving more than 21 million children. His plan would rob 5 million public school students with disabilities of essential services.
An additional 5 million English language learners would be denied educational supports. Eight million students would lose the Pell grants that make it possible to attend college. Students across the country would lose tens of thousands of highly qualified teachers and classroom aides, resulting in unacceptably large class sizes and depriving students of one-on-one attention.
And for what? To expand access to charter schools, which generally perform no better than public schools, and voucher schools, which perform far worse. Not surprisingly, a version of Trump’s idea was flatly rejected by bipartisan majorities in Congress [ http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/campaign-k-12/2015/07/senate_rejects_voucher_amendme.html ] just last fall when they passed the new federal education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act.
When Trump unveiled his proposal last week in Cleveland, the venue he chose made the case against his own plan. The for-profit charter school where Trump made his announcement [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/09/08/trump-pitches-20-billion-education-plan-at-ohio-charter-school-that-received-poor-marks-from-state/ ] received a D and an F on the annual Ohio Department of Education report card, and Ohio’s voucher and charter school sectors have been marred by fraud, mismanagement and achievement that lags far behind traditional public schools [ http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2016/07/07/study-voucher-students-dont-fare-as-well-as-public-school-peers.html ].
While charters have their place in public education [ http://www.aftacts.org/ ], they were never intended to displace public schools, defraud taxpayers or be devoid of oversight [ http://billmoyers.com/2014/05/05/charter-schools-gone-wild-study-finds-widespread-fraud-mismanagement-and-waste/ ], as many are in Ohio and elsewhere. In addition to lackluster achievement, the charter sector is rife with corruption, often discriminates against high-needs students, and has undermined public districts in cities like Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia.
Decades of research show that voucher programs simply don’t work [ https://www.brookings.edu/research/on-negative-effects-of-vouchers/ ]. A report released last week by the Government Accountability Office found that voucher schools do not improve educational opportunities [ http://www.aft.org/press-release/afts-weingarten-gao-school-choice-report-and-trumps-voucher-scheme ] for disadvantaged students.
The GAO report also found that private school voucher programs in the states it studied (Arizona, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin) take as much as a third of their funding directly from public school budgets. It’s a lose-lose situation: Voucher students are poorly served and public school students suffer.
But facts matter, especially when it comes to our children and, particularly, children with the greatest needs.
Trump is not one to let facts get in his way. But facts matter, especially when it comes to our children and, particularly, children with the greatest needs.
Trump could have visited Cincinnati, if he wanted to see an effective public school model [ http://www.communityschools.org/assets/1/AssetManager/Cincinnati%20Community%20Learning%20FINAL.pdf ] that supports the achievement and well-being of disadvantaged students. Cincinnati is well on its way to transforming every public school in the district into a community school. These schools offer a rigorous academic program with the supports students need to succeed. In addition to mentors, tutoring and other academic interventions, children and their families have in-school access to services that help overcome the effects of poverty. The schools have health and dental clinics, social workers and counselors, and numerous social services. Cincinnati is now the top urban district in Ohio.
Or Trump could have gone to another battleground state and stopped at Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh [ http://triblive.com/mobile/11141938-96/program-students-public ]. Not long ago, Westinghouse was slated for closure. The city, its police and fire departments, families, school staff, and our union came together to launch a public safety career and technical education program this year. The program, with seed money from the AFT Innovation Fund, will prepare students for careers in firefighting, emergency medical services and law enforcement. It will help diversify these workforces to better reflect the communities they serve—a vital step in creating trust and understanding.
Parents and the public want leaders to strengthen public schools, not destabilize them [ http://www.aft.org/press-release/aft-2016-pdk-poll ]. We need a president who will focus on investing in universal pre-K, strong public schools with high academic standards, and community schools, and on respecting and supporting educators. Hillary Clinton has specific proposals [ https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/k-12-education/ ] to do just that.
Donald Trump doesn’t understand or value the role of public education in a democracy. Our public schools are open to all, they advance our individual and collective aspirations, and they unite people from an array of backgrounds in a common experience. Schemes that elevate markets, profits and privatization over our children’s needs and the public good not only have failed but are an affront to our democratic principles.

Aug 24, 2016
WASHINGTON — The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Incorporated (CBCF) today announced that President Barack Obama will deliver his seventh and final keynote address at its 46th Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) Phoenix Awards Dinner. The event is scheduled for 6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The evening’s co-emcees will be Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, and actress Sanaa Lathan, who has a new show premiering this fall on FOX. Honorary co-chairs of this year’s conference are U.S. Representatives Karen Bass of California and Lacy Clay of Missouri.
“President Obama is our nation’s most influential and demonstrable voice. We are honored to have him speak at the Phoenix Awards dinner,” said R. Donahue Peebles, chairman of the CBCF board of directors. “In the face of great challenges, his historic two terms in office have strengthened America’s resolve to close the persistent gaps between the daily realities and the actual well-being and security of African Americans.”
The Phoenix Award is the CBCF’s highest honor, presented to individuals whose extraordinary achievements strengthen communities and improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities, nationally and globally.
“We are extremely proud of the leadership, civic engagement and commitment shown by this year’s honorees—and salute their efforts to promote empowerment and respect for and among all people,” said CBCF president and CEO, A. Shuanise Washington. “Our honorees embody the foundation’s 40-year commitment to raise awareness and address the challenges African Americans face every day in education, health care, minority business development and entrepreneurship.”

Trump Fails A Crucial Test
Mike Segar / Reuters
Weingarten being “disarmed” by a student in the public safety CTE program at Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh.
By Randi Weingarten
President, American Federation of Teachers
09/17/2016 11:31 pm ET | Updated September 18, 2016
Donald Trump doesn’t have any use for public schools — he never attended them, sent his kids to them or supported civic efforts to strengthen them.
So perhaps it’s no surprise that Trump would propose a plan that would decimate public education [ http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/donald-trump-school-choice-proposal-227915 ]. But 90 percent of America’s children attend public schools. Trump’s plan to expand failed voucher programs and destabilize public schools is a grave threat to them and to this essential public good.
Trump’s $20 billion proposal to “voucherize” public education [ http://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/trumpmyths_education.pdf ] would harm 10 children for every 1 child he purports to help. It appears that Trump would cut all Title I funding for low-income students and an additional $5 billion in federal education funding.
The Title I cuts alone could strip funding from up to 56,000 public schools serving more than 21 million children. His plan would rob 5 million public school students with disabilities of essential services.
An additional 5 million English language learners would be denied educational supports. Eight million students would lose the Pell grants that make it possible to attend college. Students across the country would lose tens of thousands of highly qualified teachers and classroom aides, resulting in unacceptably large class sizes and depriving students of one-on-one attention.
And for what? To expand access to charter schools, which generally perform no better than public schools, and voucher schools, which perform far worse. Not surprisingly, a version of Trump’s idea was flatly rejected by bipartisan majorities in Congress [ http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/campaign-k-12/2015/07/senate_rejects_voucher_amendme.html ] just last fall when they passed the new federal education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act.
When Trump unveiled his proposal last week in Cleveland, the venue he chose made the case against his own plan. The for-profit charter school where Trump made his announcement [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/09/08/trump-pitches-20-billion-education-plan-at-ohio-charter-school-that-received-poor-marks-from-state/ ] received a D and an F on the annual Ohio Department of Education report card, and Ohio’s voucher and charter school sectors have been marred by fraud, mismanagement and achievement that lags far behind traditional public schools [ http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2016/07/07/study-voucher-students-dont-fare-as-well-as-public-school-peers.html ].
While charters have their place in public education [ http://www.aftacts.org/ ], they were never intended to displace public schools, defraud taxpayers or be devoid of oversight [ http://billmoyers.com/2014/05/05/charter-schools-gone-wild-study-finds-widespread-fraud-mismanagement-and-waste/ ], as many are in Ohio and elsewhere. In addition to lackluster achievement, the charter sector is rife with corruption, often discriminates against high-needs students, and has undermined public districts in cities like Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia.
Decades of research show that voucher programs simply don’t work [ https://www.brookings.edu/research/on-negative-effects-of-vouchers/ ]. A report released last week by the Government Accountability Office found that voucher schools do not improve educational opportunities [ http://www.aft.org/press-release/afts-weingarten-gao-school-choice-report-and-trumps-voucher-scheme ] for disadvantaged students.
The GAO report also found that private school voucher programs in the states it studied (Arizona, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin) take as much as a third of their funding directly from public school budgets. It’s a lose-lose situation: Voucher students are poorly served and public school students suffer.
But facts matter, especially when it comes to our children and, particularly, children with the greatest needs.
Trump is not one to let facts get in his way. But facts matter, especially when it comes to our children and, particularly, children with the greatest needs.
Trump could have visited Cincinnati, if he wanted to see an effective public school model [ http://www.communityschools.org/assets/1/AssetManager/Cincinnati%20Community%20Learning%20FINAL.pdf ] that supports the achievement and well-being of disadvantaged students. Cincinnati is well on its way to transforming every public school in the district into a community school. These schools offer a rigorous academic program with the supports students need to succeed. In addition to mentors, tutoring and other academic interventions, children and their families have in-school access to services that help overcome the effects of poverty. The schools have health and dental clinics, social workers and counselors, and numerous social services. Cincinnati is now the top urban district in Ohio.
Or Trump could have gone to another battleground state and stopped at Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh [ http://triblive.com/mobile/11141938-96/program-students-public ]. Not long ago, Westinghouse was slated for closure. The city, its police and fire departments, families, school staff, and our union came together to launch a public safety career and technical education program this year. The program, with seed money from the AFT Innovation Fund, will prepare students for careers in firefighting, emergency medical services and law enforcement. It will help diversify these workforces to better reflect the communities they serve—a vital step in creating trust and understanding.
Parents and the public want leaders to strengthen public schools, not destabilize them [ http://www.aft.org/press-release/aft-2016-pdk-poll ]. We need a president who will focus on investing in universal pre-K, strong public schools with high academic standards, and community schools, and on respecting and supporting educators. Hillary Clinton has specific proposals [ https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/k-12-education/ ] to do just that.
Donald Trump doesn’t understand or value the role of public education in a democracy. Our public schools are open to all, they advance our individual and collective aspirations, and they unite people from an array of backgrounds in a common experience. Schemes that elevate markets, profits and privatization over our children’s needs and the public good not only have failed but are an affront to our democratic principles.
