Inside Story Americas

Here is a list of some of the stories linked at that page today.

Which stories did the media ignore this year?
From climate change to the violation of civil liberties, we look at some of the under-reported stories of 2012.

Have US police forces become too militarised?
We ask whether civilian police operating as paramilitary forces actually make the US safer.

US cities struggling post-Hurricane Sandy
Entire neighbourhoods are struggling to overcome the serious state of disrepair nearly two months after the devastation.

Will the US ever change its gun laws?
We analyse the failure of US gun control laws in preventing recurring mass shootings.

How can tax avoidance be stopped?
As top tech firms legally avoid paying trillions in tax dollars we examine how such practices could be eliminated.

The US' school to prison pipeline
Are punitive school discipline policies pushing children out of education and into the criminal justice system?

So much better than Glenn Beck propaganda.

1. The US' school to prison pipeline: Very interesting!

I wish I could find the study that included descriptions of a school district that literally sited their alternative/continuation high school adjacent to the local juvenile hall.

It was sickening.
