Award-winning journalist Charlayne
Hunter-Gault criticizes racist and
sensationalist reporting on Africa.
-----
On the 60th anniversary of Orwell's Politics
and the English Language, George Orwell
described political speech as consisting
"largely of euphemism, question-begging and
sheer cloudy vagueness." Some six decades
later, many symptoms of manipulation and
propaganda diagnosed by Orwell persist on the
American political landscape, along with new
disinformation techniques enabled by modern
technology.
Historians, scientists, philosophers,
linguists, cognitive experts, journalists,
image-makers, and public figures will debate
in three separate sessions the current state
of political discourse - and journalism's
response to it - on the dawn of a bitterly
contested presidential campaign - NYPL

| Gault in Schools - Bringing Gault to Kids |

In re Gault is a landmark case decided by the
United States Supreme Court in 1967. The case
involved a 15-year-old boy, Gerald Francis
Gault. After a trial in juvenile court,
Gerald was placed in a "training school" for
juvenile delinquents because of his alleged
involvement with a prank call. As a juvenile
Gault was denied many rights guaranteed to
adults who are on trial for committing a
crime -- the right to notice of the charges,
the right to confront witnesses, the
privilege against self incrimination and the
right to counsel. It was in this case that
the United States Supreme Court recognized
the similarities between juvenile trials and
criminal proceedings and afforded children
due process protections in juvenile court.
2007 is the 40th anniversary of this landmark
decision and in honor of Gault, the Center
for Children, Law & Policy (CCLP) of the
University of Houston Law Center is hosting a
special event.
During the fall semester CCLP will go to
local schools to teach elementary, middle,
and high school students about their right to
an attorney. This ongoing community project
will be hosted by the CCLP and headline
center staff, local attorneys, and law
students as speakers. These interactive
presentations will allow students a chance to
see how the Gault decision has made a
difference in the legal rights of America's
youth.
