      <description><![CDATA[St. Thomas University's President Dennis Dease’s uninviting, then re-inviting, Nobel Peace laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu to campus has opened yet another conversation of how the seemingly intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict is discussed here – and everywhere. (Tutu will now appear on behalf of PeaceJam at Metropolitan State University in the Spring.) Questions linger over how and if people concerned about the Mideast crisis can criticize the Israeli government and its policies and actions without being labeled anti-Semitic. GUESTS: REP.

      <title>TTT#16-Race and Resegregation</title>
      <description><![CDATA[OCTOBER 17 TTT's Andy Driscoll and new co-host, Lynnell Mickelsen ask proponents of four perspectives on racism, resegregation, and remedies in Twin Cities education.

Studies and statistics show urban core schools more segregated than ever. This was not the plan back in 1960s, 70s, and 80s when court ruling and policymakers combined to invoke the means to bring white kids and students of color into the same educational settings. Why haven't they come together? What dynamics are at play in the palpably re-segregated systems of the Twin Metro Area? The answer is that there is no one answer - and no one remedy. Many good people bring wide-ranging perspectives to the discussion about what to do to improve achievement and reduce the social isolation that comes from segregated housing patterns and schools.]]></description>
