WHERE ARE YOU?

 

As schools are out for summer, where are all of the public education supporters? Now, more than ever, we must step up our game and focus on reclaiming our education system from the "reformers" and "extremists". These people never sleep. They do not take a summer "vacation" from their attempts to completely destroy and privatize our public schools. Just read the news articles, blogs, and education forums. You can see these "crazies" continue to spread their venom and distraction across the nation. We can no longer stand alone and cry "foul". We MUST unite and take on the daunting challenge of setting the course to return our schools back to their PUBLIC.

Indiana is a hotbed for the "guinea pig" reforms of Bennett, Daniels, Bush, Rhea, and Gates. We can no longer allow these corporate minded "reformers" access to our children or schools. We are doing our children a grave disservice if we take a "summer vacation" while these so called education "experts" continue to dismantle our schools while we sit poolside sipping margaritas and telling "war stories". No, we MUST be in this battle with no opportunity to rest until the last of these destructive reforms is stopped and our children's educational futures re restored to the very PUBLIC that supports them.

I challenge all who read this to share it, get involved, get others involved, spread the word. . . PUBLIC education supporters are here to stay. We are not going away and we are not going to stop. We are ready for battle. We proved last November that we want our schools back from these reform minded individuals who only support corporate greed. We now must show them that November was not a fluke, and it most definitely was a a direct recall of these reform policies. We can do this by starting now to campaign for 2014, 2016, and beyond.

Where are you? Are you in the fight or on the sidelines? Once you answer the question it is time to answer the call to battle. It is time to once again stand up and make our voices heard.
