Education hotties--I've been disqualified

"Hot for education" contest.

Looking at Alexander Russo's photo, I am a bit surprised that he would have anything to do with any kind of beauty or handsome competition!

As Russo writes: "One of the most popular -- and embarrassing -- posts that's ever run on this site has been Hot For Education, a highly arbitrary and much-commented on listing of some of the folks who might qualify as 'hot...for education.'"

I hope I don't come off as bitter as I am. Even though the competition has just started I've already been excluded! Damn! And right in the middle of black history month!

As Alexander writes: "Casey Lartigue is also excluded, for ballot stuffing."

Oh, right. I was inviting people to vote for me. And I think I also voted for myself a few times. Yes, I'm from Texas...

As I recall, I'm the one who pointed out that there were no racial minorities in the competition. Pedro Noguera then narrowly beat me out for the minority "hot for education" slot.

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022. Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .

From nothing to something super special (2023-02-10)

FSI has moved into a better institutional neighborhood where we are the poorest in the area. In August 2022, I was elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Freedom Speakers International (FSI) and in January 2023 FSI achieved incorporation status in South Korea. This has meant that FSI must upgrade operations and structure and I am the one, as chairman and co-president, who will be blamed if it doesn’t happen. I really should not be the chairman, for a variety of reasons, but anyway I am. Eunkoo and I are not the typical executives of a growing organization. In addition to being mainly responsible for building and fundraising for the organization, we are the hands-on leaders who are constantly in contact with North Korean refugee speakers. We look forward to the day we can afford staff to handle many tasks. Until then we can expect to continue having more days like yesterday, even on Eunkoo’s birthday. 2023-02-10 Meeting #1: planning We started Eunkoo’s birthday with a planning...
