Hello, all list members. Thsi is a request for help from those of you who have had any experience with Chris Whittle's Channel 1 in US schools. A CAnadian version of Channel 1 has been trying to get off the ground for a numbr of years now, and so far media educators, students and parents have been able to head it off before it got established. The last attempt was only a few months ago, but two or three days ago there were signs again that it's trying to rise from the ashes once more. As part of the concerted campaign to keep our schools from selling off parts of their curriculum to YNN, I have volunteered togather any help I can from US teachers who have had experience with fighting Channel 1 - especially successful experience. I have already sent email messages for assistance to UNPLUG and The Campaign for A Non-Commercial Classroom, and expect to hear from them after the Thanksgiving weekend. Your personal input will be valued, and will help keep Ontario schools free of this new pestilence. If you have anyting to offer, please address it to me (or put it on the list) and title it YNN. Thank you in advance for your help. Chris M.
