"I happened on a video that I knew needed to be shared with everyone. I
copied and edited it down to the most important 15 min where Jonah Edelman
Co-founder of Stand for Children talks in detail about how they came to
Illinois with the express purpose to take down the teachers unions. He revels
in the fact that the general public was unsuspecting of the tactics being used
against the teachers of Illinois and if they had it would have been unpalatable
. He talks about how he worked to divide and conquer the teachers' and how the
Illinois teachers association president went to work for Arne Duncan at the
U.S. Dept of Ed. shortly after the talks were settled. Share with everyone!"
I believe that "Stand for Children" is setting up to take down teachers pension funds in Pennsylvania.
Good
Schools Pennsylvania, an advocacy organization fighting for a quality
education for every child in the state, is spearheading an ambitious and
dramatic effort called "Stand for Children." "Stand for
Children" volunteers travel to Harrisburg to maintain a presence at the
Pennsylvania legislature every day that it is in session from January 27 to
June 30, 2003, with the goal of lobbying legislators on behalf of the
educational rights of every Pennsylvania child. Protestant (at least six
different denominations), Catholic, and Jewish groups, college student groups,
and school groups have signed up for almost every day on the
calendar
and have brought out significant numbers of people in all kinds of weather.
Good Schools Pennsylvania concentrates its efforts on the state legislature
because
the state
courts have ruled that "equity" and "adequacy" cases
are not justiciable.
