I am deeply distressed over how public education issues divide Democrats and I am with Reader - Mrs. Clinton needs to get on the good foot as far as public ed issues. <br /><br />I would not classify many people - in either party - as "evil." (But yes, there are a few.)<br /><br />My posting of this thread IS to call out DFER on this. It was not meant to applaud them.Melissa Westbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179994245880629080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-58526930508503482512015-04-27T22:23:56.184-07:002015-04-27T22:23:56.184-07:00Hillary Clinton needs to get her act together - an...Hillary Clinton needs to get her act together - and start distancing herself from Arne, and SBAC. When those results come out, there's going to be a lot of hopping mad parents. And there's not going to be a lot of Atta-girls going Hillary's way on that issue. I for one, am not looking kindly at the DFER, neoliberals who support this crap.<br /><br />Democrats need to get their S$$T together and re-establish themselves as the party for education. Not the party for Common Core or SBAC.<br /><br />ReaderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-9185172953428838392015-04-27T21:10:47.352-07:002015-04-27T21:10:47.352-07:00Chris Eide left Teachers United in November 2014. ...Chris Eide left Teachers United in November 2014.

Their 'heart' is in legislative lobbying and getting the 'right' democratic politicians - see Cuomo in NY - into office. Not like they're hosting community potlucks or informational nights.<br /><br />It's always a Race to the Bottom on whether Stand on the Children or DFER has taken the lead in smarminess. Today it's DFER by a nose - which I am holding.<br /><br />DistrictWatcherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-52551121551092766952015-04-26T17:40:13.840-07:002015-04-26T17:40:13.840-07:00So where is that constitutional amendment limiting...So where is that constitutional amendment limiting political donations? .... or a continued bye bye to any hint of democracy.dan dempseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536720661510933983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-27307534090945774832015-04-26T17:16:03.817-07:002015-04-26T17:16:03.817-07:00AAaaawww, democracy in action.

Nothing about where they got the 100k, but hey, Chris Ride (Teachers United) is on their board of advisors, and HE'S Gates-funded. Maybe he shares. Steve Sundguist, ex-SPS Board Director and current WA Charter School Commission Prez is also on DFER's board of advisors.
