National school choice advocate Howard Fuller to retire from Marquette
Howard Fuller Howard Fuller, former superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools and nationally known advocate for school choice, is retiring after decades at Marquette University, where he served as a distinguished professor of education and founder and director of its Institute for the Transformation of Learning. The university announced his decision in a statement Friday, June 19, 2020 saying he will retire at the end of
the month. "I just felt like it was time," said Fuller, 79, who acknowledged a weariness in his voice in an interview with the Journal Sentinel on Friday. "Anybody who's conscious would be worn out," he said, an apparent reference to the national tumult over race and racism. "It's just time to figure out how you make a contribution with everything that's happening and given the stage of my life I'm at."

What is and isn’t in Milwaukee’s mask mandate Specific details are now available on Milwaukee’s proposed mask ordinance. The proposal would require individuals over the age of one to wear masks both indoors and outdoors when they leave home, with limited exceptions. Scheduled to be introduced Tuesday, July 7, 2020, by Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic, the proposal is expected to be reviewed during a yet-to-be-scheduled special meeting of the Public Safety & Health Committee and then would go forward to the full Common Council for adoption. A council committee spent almost two hours debating the merits of a mask mandate last week. Individuals would be required to “have possession” of a mask anytime they leave home and wear the mask whenever in an indoor public space. A similar outdoor requirement is included, but only when an individual is within 30 feet of an individual

The only explicit exceptions in the proposal are for individuals under the age of two, individuals who have upper-respiratory chronic conditions and silent disabilities, and those exempted under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance due to a medical condition, mental health condition, development disability or other Americans with Disabilities Act provision and individuals in settings where it is not ed basis to at least half of the practical or feasible to wear city’s residents, approximateface coverings. ly 300,000 people.

Kanye West has a cool slogan, but no actual paperwork on file in presidential run There are, however, what appear to be at least two fake filings using West's name. Kanye West has shared the catchy slogan for his purported presidential run: #2020Vision. But as of Monday, July 6, 2020, what he didn't have was any proof that the 11th-hour bid to unseat his MAGA friend, President Donald Trump, was anything more than a clever catchphrase. A spokesperson for the Federal Election Commission confirmed on Tuesday, July 7, 2020 that at press time, West did not appear to have filed the necessary paperwork to make his bid official. "Candidates who've won the presidency tend to have gotten into the race much sooner than this," an FEC spokesperson told Billboard, adding that, historically, 119 days out from the Nov. 3 presidential election is quite late for an announcement. According to FEC rules, when a candidate has raised or spent more than $5,000, they can officially file to be on the ballot, though they are welcome to file before that even if they haven't raised any money. "If you're running for any federal office, four months out seems pretty late based on my experience," adds the official, who has been with the FEC
since 2005. A dig into recent Form 2 filings, did, however, uncover what another FEC official suspected was a bogus statement of candidacy credited to a "Ye West" from Monday, whose address is listed as 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., aka the White House. According to the form, the candidate is using their own money to run on the Libertarian party ticket, with VISION2020 listed as the principal campaign committee (same address) for the self-funded effort; the Libertarian party's official candidate for 2020 is Jo Jorgensen. The FEC spokesperson said the fact that the rapper's full name -- Kanye Omari West -- is not listed on the form and that the mailing address is the White House will lead to an FEC probe into whether the form contains "false or fictitious information." "Just because you see a candidate's name on a filing doesn't mean that person filed the form ... we get lots of false and fictitious filings," the spokesperson said, noting that if the information is incorrect, the FEC will send a notice to the filer. There is also another seemingly bogus
person has not responded to multiple requests from Billboard seeking proof that the announcement is legitimate.
filing the FEC was processing at press time, credited to a Mr. Kenye Omari West. In 2016, the FEC implemented an "interim verification procedure" authorizing staff to send letters to filers listing "fictional characters, obscene language, sexual references, celebrities (where there is no indication that the named celebrity submitted the filing), animals, or similarly implausible entries as the name or contact information." This was an effort to root out fictitious candidate registration forms after a notable uptick in the filing of "patently false candidate [names]" in the 2016 presidential election cycle. For example, in August 2015, a 15-year-old Iowa teen named Brady Olson hopped

Indiana man claims group of assailants threatened to "get a noose" An Indiana Black man said a group of White men assaulted him and threatened to "get a noose" after claiming he and his friends had trespassed on private property as they gathered at an Indiana lake over the Fourth of July weekend to watch the lunar eclipse. The incident prompted dozens of people to protest in front of the Bloomington, Indiana courthouse Monday, July 6, 2020. Vauhxx Booker, a local civil rights activist and member of the Monroe County Human Rights Commission, posted cellphone video on Facebook he said shows part of the altercation at the lake.
Law enforcement officers with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources responded and are investigating, said Capt. Jet Quillen. A final report will be forwarded to the Monroe County Prosecutor's Office, Quillen continued, providing no other details about what happened or whether any arrests have been made.
Vauhxx Booker speaks out at a press conference on Monday, July 6, 2020. He said he called 911 Saturday, July 4, 2020, after the men assaulted him and
pinned him to a tree at Lake Monroe, south of Booker's hometown of Bloomington.
Booker began his Facebook post by writing, "I don't want to recount this, but I was almost the victim of an attempted lynching. I don't want this to have happened to me or anyone. It hurts my soul, and my pride, but there are multiple witnesses and it can't be hidden or avoided." Booker said he apologized after the men told him they were trespassing, but that five white men then attacked him. Booker wrote that the men threatened to break his arms and said, "get a noose," while telling his friends to leave the area. He also said one of the men had a hat with a Confederate flag on it and that the men made statements about "white power." One video clip that he posted showed a white man holding Booker up against a tree. Another depicted a different man calling someone off-camera a "nappy headed (expletive)." In another, the same man yelled, "You invaded us!" and calledsomeone in Booker's group a "stupid (expletive) liberal (expletive)." "We were calm and polite, but looking back now, it's apparent that these individuals began targeting our group the moment they saw myself, a Black man and were looking to provoke a conflict," Booker wrote. Booker said he suffered a minor concussion, cuts, bruises and had patches of

his hair pulled out. Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton and Bloomington City Clerk Nicole Bolden issued a statement July 6, 2020 expressing their "outrage and grief" over what they said was a racially motivated attack. State Sen. Mark Stoops, a Bloomington Democrat, said he was "horrified by the racist attack" and called on Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb to suspend and investigate the Department of Natural Resources officers who responded to the scene for failing to make any arrests. "This is not just an issue of violence," Stoops said in a statement Monday, "this is clearly a hate crime and must be treated as such." Booker's lawyer, Katharine Liell, told WTTV reporters she believes arrests will be made. The Bloomington Black Lives Matter chapter is also demanding that the tree incident be investigated as a hate crime, as is prominent civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, who called the tree incident "absolutely sickening" and an "attempted lynching." On Tuesday, July 7, 2020 former South Bend mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg weighed in on Twitter, writing, "This violent show of racism is absolutely sickening. Something is deeply wrong in Indiana." In 2018, Booker spoke out after a Bloomington Transit employee accused Booker of stealing a bus pass shortly after he bought a ticket. Booker said the employee sold him the pass, then could not find proof of the transaction and called the police. The unnamed Bloomington Transit employee was fired.

The potential eviction crisis could create a debt time bomb
By Khalil Shahyd
We are now just over three weeks away from the expiration of the federal eviction ban passed by the Congress under the CARES Act in March. If Congress doesn’t urgently act to extend the moratorium, U.S. households that are most vulnerable to the health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic face the increasing threat of evictions at the worst possible time—and America risks a consumer debt time bomb. Black and Latinx families are already being the hit the hardest by coronavirus infections, and are also more likely to face the threat of eviction over the coming months unless more action is taken. Although the federal moratorium expiring July 25th only covered rental units and mortgages backed by Department of Housing and Urban Development financing, it provided the template for many state and local moratoria covering a wider universe of housing. Many of those local moratoriums are expiring as well, exposing more people to evictions at a time when most need stable shelter to weather the pandemic. In many cases, the local moratoria, only prevented the execution of evictions, but landlords are still able to file cases pending court reopening and post eviction notices on doors essentially vocalizing threats against current tenants. African Americans and people of color are more likely to be impacted by the coming eviction wave, as a recent study in Boston found. And this only accounts for legal evictions, excluding many “illegal actions that landlords use to threaten, lock out, or otherwise displace tenants.” Additionally, a recent analysis by the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project, found that of the 110 million U.S. residents living in rental housing, about 20 percent are at risk of eviction by Sept. 30 with African American and Latinx renters expected to be hardest hit. But the coronavirus is not done with us. Some states such as California that avoided the early spike in cases are now seeing infections rise, while others that relaxed public gathering restrictions too soon are also seeing infection rates jump tremendously. The idea of “relaxing too early” sums up perfectly the challenge before us, which is why we urgently need Congress to act to ensure people are able to stay safely in their homes. Congress must act to provide support for renters and ensure that an eviction disaster does not consume the nation’s most vulnerable populations.
The Emergency Housing Protections and Relief Act of 2020 recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives is one piece of legislation that can help. It contains critically needed housing resources and protections that also were included in the recently Housepassed HEROES Act, namely: • $100 billion in emergency rental assistance; • Extend for 12 months, a national, uniform moratorium on evictions and foreclosures; • $11.5 billion to prevent and respond to COVID-19 outbreaks among people experiencing homelessness; and • Additional resources needed to ensure housing stability for those most in need. The Senate needs to act quickly to enable these critical rental assistance resources to reach those in need or we could face an economic disaster. But we still need much more. By some estimates, to truly cover the cost of keeping renters in their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the nation will need to spend as much as $15 billion per month. That’s due to rising housing costs, stagnating wages, and energy burdens. In 2019, nearly half of all renters spent more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs, and approximately a quarter paid more than half of their earnings on housing. Compounding this, renters are more likely to be employed in industries vulnerable to employment shocks. The Urban Institute conducted an analysis of workers in the four sectors most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and found that food and accommodation, entertainment, retail, and transportation combined represent approximately 26 percent of the labor force. Twenty-three percent of all homeowners are employed in these four sectors along with 31 percent of all renters. Service workers, which represent 18 percent of the labor force, are likely to be the most affected category. Fifteen percent of the nation’s homeowners and 23 percent of renters work in that category. Overall, renters are much more likely to work in the more vulnerable sectors of the economy. The COVID-19 crisis increases both the severity of rent burden and the urgency for assistance as jobs are lost due to closings or because these essential service workers (or their families) are becoming directly impacted by the pandemic. Eviction moratoria hide a potential household debt bomb
An NCON Communications Publication
Eviction moratoria are needed to protect renters from the lingering threat of losing their homes during the pandemic. However, an eviction moratorium that allows renters to temporarily stop paying rent only shifts the payments to a later time and places the short-term financial burden on property owners who have their own mortgage and lending burdens that often remain due. Renters have far fewer assets or savings than property owners to get through a shock, crisis, or other disruption in their income stream and need immediate relief on their monthly payments. While a deferral on a mortgage payment can be spread out over the life of a 30-year mortgage, a renter who is living under a lease (if they even have a lease) will see the deferred payments added to the sum remaining under the lease, drastically increasing the monthly payments over a shorter period of time or the remainder of the lease. And this still assumes that the renter is able to return to work or find another job in the middle of the continuing pandemic, in order to make it possible to pay any amount of rent.
If the renter continues to be unable to pay— and is without the protection of a moratorium on evictions and support for making rental payments—the renter can then be evicted and the outstanding balance of rent is turned over to a debt collection agency, critically damaging the tenant’s credit rating. And that’s not all. Property managers in many cities create a “blacklist” of tenants who’ve gone through eviction proceedings at tenant-landlord courts so that they are flagged anytime they apply for rental housing at another location, threatening these tenants with longterm homelessness or having to rely on lower-standard or costlier housing options. Add it all up and renters could get crushed by a massive new debt burden. And increasing the debt burden on low- and middle-wage workers weighs down the larger economy. We’re already experiencing a recession deeper than the great recession of 2008. Couple this with the fact that aggregate household debt is at a new high of over $14 trillion. This while the decrease in employment in the first three months of the COVID-19 recession is more than double the decrease the 2008 recession caused over two years. The 2008 recession was in no small part caused by the uneven distribution of considerable household debt. The costs and consequences of the current recession will
be much more severe if we allow renter debt to simply accumulate without relief atscale. We can’t allow renters, and the whole economy, to fall into such a deep hole. Support real resources for the nation’s renters Helping the nation’s renters is not just a moral thing to do, it is in all of our best interests to recover from this crash as quickly as possible. We must eliminate the burdens of rent for people unable to pay, and provide long-term stability to enable a return to work and livelihoods. The rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic shows us clearly how much we’re all connected. The social inequalities that leave too many vulnerable have proven to place Black and Latinx families at greater risk than others. However, the impact of that increased vulnerability will not be isolated to those families. That’s why Congress must act to provide the resources needed to support renters now. The elements of the Emergency Housing Protections and Relief Act are a big step in the right direction, with its $100 billion in support for rent as well as a uniform moratorium on all housing evictions. And it must be coupled with a move to ensure full rent relief, including emergency rental assistance and debt forgiveness to avoid placing the burdens of back payments on vulnerable renters so we’re not saddled with long-term debt and diminished future prospects for our society.

For the past several weeks, people of all races, ages and backgrounds have taken to the streets to stand up for the cause of injustice against people of color and are saying enough is enough! Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream of a day when people of color will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, in many instances, is still just a dream.

On July 4, 2020, our nation celebrated Independence Day or “July 4th.” According to history.com, the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted mostly by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities, ranging from fireworks, bell ringing, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. While the early colonies declared their independence in the 18th century; did you know in this 21st century many people are dealing with issues that they need to declare their independence from? This thought was brought to my attention by a gentleman who shared with me he was celebrating his 6-year 8 months of sobriety.

MPS discusses reopening plan, includes 3 possible scenarios MPS Reopening Scenario #3: • Schools re-open under normal conditions • Parents uncomfortable would still have a virtual athome schooling option
Milwaukee Public Schools is discussing reopening plans for students come fall. The district released three potential scenarios on Thursday, June 25, 2020. These options come days after the department of public instruction released its report earlier of templates schools could follow. But ultimately - the district has to decide what is best for them. Many concerns were released in this 44-page report including the feasibility of remote learning, when not everyone has the internet, the computers to do it or what transportation looks like during a pandemic.
The three scenarios presented include: MPS Reopening Scenario #1: • Schools would remain closed to in-person instruction • All students would continue remote learning
and both surveys can be found on the MPS web site. The students and families survey will also be available at the Stop, Grab, and Go meal sites and communicated via other district methods.

The impact of COVID-19 on older adults (part 1)
COVID-19 poses a risk not only to the health of older adults who contract the disease but also to those without the health care resources and social structures that contribute to overall wellness (Continued from last week) Has the pandemic exacerbated health disparities for older adults? Every experience in life is influenced by a person's access to resources and, in the United States, a person's race, socioeconomic status, and other characteristics have profound impacts on access to resources. It can be easy to jump to saying, "Oh, well, that person was older and had diabetes, so of course they had a worse outcome from COVID." But you have to take a step back and ask what contributed to the person having diabetes in the first place. Because race is not biological, we know that it's not race itself that causes disparities in co-morbidities and in COVID-19 outcomes—it's the relationship between race and resources. For example, my colleague Laura Samuel
has found that the counties that have a high proportion of people who have to spend more than a third of their income on housing have higher COVID-19 mortality rates. If we had a society that was structured so that everyone had the same chance at health, we would not see the disparities we are seeing. A lot of the potential solutions to health disparities among older adults don't exist in the health care system itself—they occur further upstream. Things like widening access to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, addressing food deserts, and supporting returning citizens in the workforce all relate directly to health, but we don't always think that way. What challenges has COVID-19 raised for family caregivers of older adults? First, if family caregivers
have jobs that require them to be in regular contact with others, such as bus drivers or nurses, they may have to decide between not providing essential help to an older loved one and risking passing the virus to that person. Second, direct care workers continue to come in and out of hospitals, nursing homes, and senior living buildings and are being screened upon entrance, but very few family caregivers are allowed into these same facilities right now. In some cases, family caregivers are not being recognized as essential parts of the health care team, and I think they should be. Hospitals and nursing homes have
had to place restrictions on visitors for safety reasons, but I think some of those policies may be too limiting. For example, delirium is a very common and very costly issue for older adults who are admitted to hospitals. There is a better chance of preventing and managing delirium if a family member can help attend to the day-night sleep cycle, keep the person oriented, hydrated, and so on. True delirium uses so many health care resources that it can benefit all of us if an older person has a familiar caregiver with them during an inpatient stay. Of course, a major limitation is that there isn't enough personal protective equipment right now, so you have to weigh the risks and benefits of tapping into a finite supply of protective equipment. What can people do right now to support older adults in their communi-
ties during this crisis? There are many volunteer opportunities. For example, Baltimore Neighbors Network is a coalition of community partners that trains and supports volunteers to provide companionship and resource navigation assistance to older adults in Baltimore, which includes remote options such as phone calls. If people can't volunteer for a program like that right now, maybe they can give blood, or maybe they can take the money they would usually spend eating out each month and instead contribute financially to a food pantry. People can also support their older family members or friends by asking the person what would be most helpful to them—maybe it's dropping off a meal on a front porch, maybe it's mailing a letter. It's really important to remember, even during a crisis, to make time for our elders.
Is wearing a face mask bad for your immune system? Right now, wearing a mask has become necessary during the coronavirus pandemic. Infectious disease experts agree that when combined with social distancing, eye protection, and frequent hand washing, facial coverings can slow the spread of the virus. Now, from made-
at-home cloth masks to more rigid N95 masks, people are out and about making facial coverings an everyday activity. But some people say wearing a mask reduces oxygen supply. If this is true, then it could prove fatal due to one’s own carbon dioxide exhaled
while breathing. Low oxygen can leave them to feel light-headed, smothered. It is a real and genuine concern for people. But is it true? It comes down to what kind of mask you are wearing and how long you are wearing it.
around alone in his car wearing an N95 mask, causing him to pass out, and to crash his car and sustain injuries. I am sure that we have several cases of elderly individuals or any person with poor lung function passing out, hitting their head. This, of course, can lead to death.”
When it comes to breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide, infectious disease specialists said there’s no evidence to support the idea that cloth and surgical masks—the blue rectangular masks typically worn by nurses and doctors—lead to breathing problems. They don’t fit tightly enough to impede airflow or trap carbon dioxide. Experts also say carbon dioxide molecules are simply too small to be controlled by the majority of mask materials and simply pass right through. Take surgeons for example, during long procedures, they wear surgical masks for hours with no bad effects on their carbon dioxide levels. But with the popular N95 mask, it could be a different story. “It is known that the N95 mask, if worn for hours, can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20 percent,” Dr. Russell Blaylock wrote on Technocracy News. This, he said, “can lead to a loss of consciousness, as happened to the hapless fellow driving www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
Also, staying at home can weaken your immune system. Research has found that loneliness and social isolation can have a direct adverse effect on health, such as impaired immunity, depression, poor sleep quality and poor cardiovascular health. According to a study led by UCLA professor Steve Cole, loneliness and social isolation can increase inflammation (the immune’s system response to fight off a threat and decrease immune capacity). So how long is too long to wear your mask? Most doctors say use common sense. If you’re doing a highly strenuous activity, practice social distancing without your mask on as to maximize your oxygen intake. The same thing goes for doing activities in extreme heat. This is especially important during the summer. Some people may want to be extreme, but if you’re by yourself at home, there’s no need to wear a mask. The same thing applies to your car, unless you fear spreading the germs to people that will get in your vehicle. In that case, a simple wipe down of your car with CDC approved disinfectants can help.

Second stimulus check for $1,200? $2,000? What the proposals may mean for you
What we know about a second stimulus package and the possibility of another wave of direct payments for Americans. Another coronavirus rescue package to help keep the US economy from plunging even deeper into recession is inching closer to reality, and a second stimulus check could very well be part of it. The question remains: How much of an IRS payment could you see?

As with the first stimulus check, it's almost certain that Congress will include eligibility restrictions based on how much money you make annually, your age, the number of dependents you have and your US citizenship or residency status.

"I think the [July] timing is going to be just about right for us to know what we need to know for a package that moves us into August, September and October," Blunt said June 30. And while the Senate has not offered many specifics on what it will include in its proposal, McConnell has been clear what it won't. "I can't tell you what the amount is likely to be at this point, but it won't be $3 trillion," McConnell said late last month. He has previously stressed that the focus of another bill will be narrow and, if approved, will be the last. Republican senators are focused on including incentives to bring people back to work. A $1,200 one-time payment from the House's Heroes Act? The Democrat-led House of Representatives passed the Heroes Act on May 15. The bill, which has not passed the Senate and is not law, seeks larger payments for more family members, according to a fact sheet from the House Appropriations Committee (PDF). McConnell has already dismissed the bill, as has the president, who has called it DOA. Here are the broad outlines of the House coronavirus bill: • Individuals: An eligible person could receive up to $1,200. • Children and dependents: Each dependent could qualify for a $1,200 payment. • Families: Households would qualify for a maxi-
Second stimulus check: What comes next? It's July, which puts us on the month-long deadline McConnell set for the Senate to decide on a second stimulus check. The House passed its Heroes Bill in May. With the Senate on a planned break till July 20, McConnell and the Republican-led Senate will have three weeks until Aug. 7 to craft its own stimulus package, if it does decide to move forward.
