Hispanic Community April 2011 PREMIUM The Peace Corps: Making Love, Not War by <b> Carlos D. Conde </b> The United States has always been about liberty and justice for all. So says our Pledge of Allegiance. But it occurs to me that we Americans have taken this pledge beyond our borders in a pugilistic manner, with the U.S. perennially engaged in war and conflicts all over the world in pursuit of these ideals. by Carlos D. Conde
Administration April 2011 PREMIUM The Teaching Profession Under Siege <b> Carlos D. Conde </b> Other than my parents, the greatest influences in my life have been teachers or people related to teaching. It dates to a declaration early in my life about the values of an education and about learning. My parents told my brother and me they would do whatever it took and make whatever sacrifices to push us to get a formal learning because, as they explained, you can lose all your material possessions but no one can ever take away an education. by Carlos D. Conde

Hispanic Community May 2011 PREMIUM The Latino Influence on Gossamer Wings <b> Carlos D. Conde </b> There’s something regarding the Latino world that baffles.

There’s a lot more of us, but we don’t seem to be making an impact on matters or events to reflect that phenomenon. by Carlos D. Conde
Administration July 2016 PREMIUM Latino Dreaming in 2016 <b> Carlos D. Conde </b> It’s the quadrennial of U.S. presidential elections, so it’s apropos to bring up the image of Ben Fernandez who, as many may have forgotten, was the first Latin-Mexican American, to be precise to run for president of the United States. It brings reminiscences of where he got this pipe dream that a Latino, and Republican at that, could be elected U.S. president. It wasn’t that long ago (actually 1980), but really seems an eternity from the prospect of one day having a Latino sitting in the White House Oval Office. by Carlos D. Conde
