Show Some Love For Public Ed!

Fagheddabout It Day

Is it just me, or did the House Education Committee forget that today is Valentine's Day and that Hoosier families and friends across the state love our Public Schools? Apparently, Rep. Behning thinks today is "Fagheddabout It Day" and is working hard to show NO love for Public Education and Glenda Ritz today.

This is what Behning is plotting today...

Fagheddabout it -  HB 1309, HB 1360, and HB 1342 are all scheduled for hearings today in the House Education Committee and all are designed to undercut Glenda Ritz's duly elected authority as Superintendent of Public Instruction while at the same time undercutting 1.3 million votes. YOUR votes.

Fagheddabout it - 1.3 million voters that supported Glenda Ritz.

Fagheddabout it - Over 10,000 signatures to honor Glenda's victory after Gov. Pence's remarks that she won't change his agenda for Public Education reform.

Fagheddabout it - All the millions of  parents and community members who tirelessly volunteer and work at their public schools to make them a community place and to be involved as mentors in the lives of Hoosier children.


I say we tell Rep. Behning and all the members of the House Education that there is one thing they need to remember today...

Re-election - Fagheddabout it!

Fagheddabout it if you think dismantling Public Education will get you re-elected.

Fagheddabout it if you think following the ALEC agenda for campaign funds will get you anywhere in this State in the future.

Fagheddabout it - The PEOPLE of Indiana sitting back and hoping for the best with OUR Public Schools while they are at the helm.

Call your legislators...Call the members of the House Education Committee. Email them. Write them letters. Let them know that we aren't sitting back anymore while they dismantle Public Education in Indiana.

We are here and we want what is best for Hoosier kids, because that is what is best for all Hoosiers. We want our kids to have access to quality Public Schools!

Tell them to start supporting Public Education or they will have to Fagheddabout getting re-elected.

Contact members of the House Education Committee. Ask them to vote NO.  Do it ASAP.
