iPn institutionalized racism
NEW YORK — Racism can
C: defined as economically
^ipowered racial prejudice and
scrim ination.
Although there have been
le recOTl scholarly attempts to
jny the p^sistence of racism as
major social problem con-
onting the social order in the
Jiited States, the evidence of
tant societal racism continues
be exposed.
Recently in the state of New
3)rk, a report issued by the state-
ll^pointed Task Force on the Edu-
- lotion of Children and Youth at
-^sk concluded that racism is an
stitutional reality in the public
letshool system.
The findings of this report
ve far-reaching implications for
3(j) e entire nation.
The report revealed that New
i.;;jrk has two unequal public
jj^hool systems: one in the areas
Uj tiere the rich live and the other
jjj^the areas where the poor live.
,j.. The task force concluded that
jjl^jCism was the underlying
[jv^ usative factor that created this
Inequality.
^ Students in the affluent and
jji^ch areas were predominantly
and students from the poor
j J eas were predominantly Afro-
^ .jnerican and Latin-American.
' J The task force said that the
first-tier or rich schools held
"high expectations for their stu
dents but at the second-tier or
poor schools, low expectations
and aspirations are communicated
to these students, who are not
given a full opportunity to suc-
perpetuaiing segregated schools;
and in some schools, the tracking
of minority students into less rig
orous academic programs without
regard for individual abilities,
interests and potential."

ceed."
The report further found "our
society's acceptance of two
unequal educational systems is
putting us at risk of creating a
permanent underclass in New
York and the nation."
Racial and ethnic communi
ties across the nation in particular
should become aware of this
shocking report.
It appears that there are delib
erate decisions being made by
school administrators to structure
racial and ethnic students to fail
ure.
The report explicitly revealed
that "racism is expressed in a
variety of ways: inadequate
resources to those most in need;
racism must be challenged by all
who believe in justice and equali
ty-
The last eight years of the
Reagan administration have set
the stage for the gradual return to
the days of Jim Crow. While
there has been progress toward
eliminating some of the vestiges
of overt racism, the pervasive
nature of racism today demands
vigilance, determination and con
stant social action to prevent a
march back into history. The
future will be determined by the
strength of our continued struggle
for racial justice.

SPIN gives ’cure* for AIDS
U NEW YORK " Every issue of
iikIJN magazine since December
)n:37 has featured an editorial on
aerDS. In the current issue, SPIN
di'jvides its youthful readers with a
(ii:idom - a TVojan to be exact,
isi: The magazine quotes Surgeon
rental Koop on the prevention of
Ltually-transmitted diseases
SitrDs): "Condoms are the best pre-
pi^ntive measure against AIDS,
[trades not having sex and practic-
s t; safe behavior."
;iji Prevention for the young and
3i,;tually active is particularly
(jiDortant. Nearly one in 300 col-
;a|,e students is infected wit the
[pS virus as compared to four out
i(-every 1,000 prisoners. This new
ding means that young people
homosexuals, drugs users and
Ik nophiliacs as a high risk group.

what could be a "cure" for
'DS. Leishman reports on the
”'ik and, more importantly, results
^'a retired medical technologist,
^.‘year-old Salvatore Catapano.
“ Catapano, the author says,
"ipears to have found the AIDS
' ilment the world has been wail-
'1' for..." And has obtained a patent
("One of only three American
patents ever granted for AIDS treat
ments") which contains the state
ment: "It has been found that a
complete immunization an remis
sion of a person afflicted with
AIDS is really syphilis, which is
treatable, but not by any anti-viral
drug like AZT. Leishman reports a
"fascinating discovery.: After about
IS shots of the typhoid vaccine, a
number of AIDS patients who had

AIDS may be achieved by the
administration with typhoid vaccine
with no observed toxicity,"
"The substance Catapano uses
an licenses other doctors to use to
treat AIDS patients is, simply,
typhoid vaccine," Leishman writes
in SPIN.
After 15 years of research, Cal-
apano has come to the conclusion
that "the source of immune suppres
sion in AIDS patients is not viral
but bacterial. The patients ... are
suffering from extraordinarily
entrenched late-staging
syphilis,..Once the immune system
is restored with typhoid vaccine, he
says, a course of penicillin should
bring the patient into remission,"
the autho* claims.
Of 200 AIDS patients treated
by Catapano, only one has died, he
says, and his typhoid vaccine
should not be "combined with
chemotherapy - including AZT —
or radiation,"
Catapano is convinced that
tested negative for syphilis began to
manifest classic symptoms of the
disease..."
Then after being treated with
penicillin, "the syphilitic symptoms
clear up an the tests becenne nega
tive," she adds.
Another "fascinating" event is
reported in SPIN by Leishman:
After getting his penicillin shots, a
patient's AIDS test had become
negative. Of ”75,000 reported cases
of AIDS to date in America, there
have been only three published
cases of patients becoming HIV
negative."
By publishing this information,
SPIN magazine has not only helped
pevent STDs, Imt it may save the
lives of swne who are already sen
tenced t death by AIDS.

of this "American Miracle."
Despite the Administration's
claims about the millions of new jobs
created during these years, their
record actually falls short of the
record during the late 1970s, when
we had a more ambitious employ
ment and training structure. Here are
some quick facts:
• An average of only 2.1 millioi
new jobs have been created annually
between 1981 and 1988, compared
with an average increase of 2.6 mil
lion new jobs per year between 1977
and 1980.
• Only 10 percent of the pri
vate-sector jobs created under the
present Administration have been in
industries with above-average earn
ings, compared with 35 percent under
the previous Administration.
• Although the number of per
sons employed an the percentage of
the population employed have been
rising steadily for 30 years, the
upward trend in both the number an
percentage of Americans at work has
actually slowed since 1980 years
compared with the 1970s record.
In short, no matter what type of
spin you put on the Administration's
job creation record, it is certainly no
miracle.
