Chomsky on Anarchism

chomsky'There is no reason to suppose that...the currrent structures of authority and domination are graven in stone.'

Chomsky on Anarchism

Selected and edited by Barry Pateman

AK Press, 2005

From the back cover -

'The record of anarchist ideas, and even more, of the inspiring struggles of people who have thought to liberate themselves from oppression and domination, must be treasured and preserved, not as a means of freezing thought and conception in some new mold but as a basis for understanding of the social reality and committed work to change it. There is no reason to suppose that history is at an end, that the current structures of authority and domination are graven in stone. It would also be a great error to underestimate the power of social forces that will fight to maintain power and privilege.'

Naom Chomsky

Inclusive Literacy

Penny Lacey

This essay focuses on pupils with profound learning disabilities in a study of how schools approach teaching literacy to children with severe learning difficulties.

Newlife’s ‘Just Can’t Wait!’ service

 

An innovative service that aims to give terminally ill children essential equipment within 72 hours has been launched by the UK’s leading children’s disability charity, Newlife Foundation.

Currently, one in three disabled UK children are living without a piece of essential equipment at any given time, and terminally ill children are particularly at risk of dying before they get what they need. These children may have to access hospice care early, due to lack of home-use equipment.

Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children has created the Just Can’t Wait! service to combat the delays that hamper children getting the equipment they need, when they need it most. The Just Can’t Wait! service is specifically designed for children in the end stage of their life, who need equipment such as specialist beds, wheelchairs and hoists.
