Diane Ravitch says: "I saw this ad during the Super Bowl and didn't realize that it was significantly altered from its original form. Watch the video of the unaltered ad, and you will see why Fox required the ad to be edited to remove controversial material. AirBnB aired a commercial that poked a finger in the eye of racism, xenophobia, and the general ugliness of our time.Coca Cola sponsored an ad that was originally produced in 2014, in which people of all ages and ethnicities sing “America the Beautiful” in eight different languages. Some people allegedly got angry. Apparently they saw the commercial as an insult to our new presidente, not a tribute to our inclusive nation. Nuts to them.They are all worth watching. Until November 2016, no one would have thought they were controversial. Strange times we live in."

"Rob Kall's book Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution is both a welcomed manifesto and a guide for rethinking the power of human agency, understanding the connections that both make us human and legitimate human planetary relations. Moreover it is a powerful call for providing the ideas, social practices, and relations that make human connections possible, enable them to work together from the bottom up, and to transform such connections into a powerful movement in which people take control of their lives and create a better future for everyone."
