lerner, and the colonel looked befuddled. of course, the lerners were the couple that taught him english decades ago, and he had no concept of the united states was a country of 300 million people. of course, we should know every other american, and why did we not know the people who had taught him english? so for the afghans of a certain generation they remember with great fondness this period of engagement and, in fact, remember it far more fondly than they think of the current american period of our stabilization activities there today, unfortunately. >> host: now, rajiv chandrasekaran, haven't there been several starts and stops and boom and bust, hopeful periods in our history with afghanistan? >> guest: there have. you know, the '50s and '60s were a period of great optimism and then, obviously, there was the soviet invasion. the taliban were toppled after the 9/11 attacks, there was a period of great optimism that afghanistan would be able to build a more stable democratic society. but then we took off eye off the ball

office of special counsel, carolyn lerner. this was introduced by senator daniel akaka, along with the ranking member of the oversight committee, elijah cummings. this bill will make three key reforms. the first reform will allow state and local government workers to run for a political office. the hatch act prohibits any of these employees from running in a partisan political election if their job involves federal funding. this creates problems for many government workers who are otherwise well qualified to run for local offices. for example, mr. john grinder had to be fired as police chief of ogden, utah, because he ran for a state senate seat and won. ms. kristen desenzo, an illinois employee, could not run for state clerk because of this barrier. she said i was utterly deflated. it's utter insanity. this will institute less severe penalties for hatch act violations. it requires employees who violate the hatch act to be terminated unless the merit systems protection board unanimously votes for a lesser penalty. john adler,

what you might not know is some of the terrific resources about how english-language lerner children are doing in boston. and when you disaggregate them by the ones that have almost no english, they are not doing so well. when you see the children that have gone through the system and have a little bit of language, they are doing equally well. when you look at the kids that have been through the system and who are former english-language learners, they are outperforming the native born children in the boston public schools and we need to look at the valedictorian. we are graduating from on all kids who are doing a multilingual coming and we need the opportunity and the structures that left these kids up. and i think the reason that they are so native-born children come if you think that terry carefully, these native-born children, their parents were field by schools, and in some cases their grandparents were filled by the failure of urban public schools, and these parents do not believe in their personal experience that schools deliver opportunity. and so, until we can reach back to
