By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. November 13, 2017
Congress is suspending rules to fast track a bill that allows surveillance of citizens and students.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong With A Federal Apprenticeship Program?
By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. July 19, 2017 Published by Daily Caller
Promising that apprenticeships are going to be a “major factor in our country,” President Trump is leading the charge to reform the failed federally funded job-training and workforce development programs.
The recently passed H.R. 2353 reduces the role of the federal government in workforce programs.
