The phone companies have no right to forfeit your privacy by handing over your call records to the government without a warrant. Now, the FCC is refusing to investigate these illegal actions, using the same �state secrets� excuse used by the very phone companies it�s supposed to hold accountable.

The ACLU is launching a nationwide consumer campaign demanding that regulators do their jobs and protect our privacy.

The A.C.L.U. has filed complaints with state utility commissions in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.

Join the effort! Complain to the FCC.

After 34 years of college teaching, I thought I had heard just about every imaginable student complaint. Last week, however, a freshman in my 300-seat US History Since 1865 course came in to discuss her exam with one of the graders and proceeded to work herself into a semi-hissy over the fact that we had spent four class periods (one of them consisting of a visit from Taylor Branch) discussing the civil rights movement.

“I don’t know where he’s getting all of this,” she complained,”we never discussed any of this in high school.” One might have let the matter rest here as simply an example of a high school history teacher’s sins of omission being visited on the hapless old history prof. had the student not informed the TA in an indignant postcript, ” I’m not a Democrat! I don’t think I should have to listen to this stuff!”

So, if you’re a Republican, you don’t have to learn about slavery?
