He will also be covering the education nation on his tv show every night this week.<br /><br />He is the only national media personality I know who is speaking out and making the connections between big money ie the Koch Brothers and the absolute deliberate destruction of public education.<br /><br />The tactics being used by Gov. Walker of Wisconsin are the exact same tactics being used in other (ahem) school districts: over crowding classrooms, cutting teacher pay & benefits, cutting school budgets especially for special ed aides & other programs, private money set to benefit from charters, union busting, etc. <br /><br />Sound famliar ie Seattle Foundation & TFA & the Apple connection...?<br /><br />Hey Seattle, time to wake up & smell the coffee, scrape off the moss, and pay attention. It's not just us - it's all of us. <br /><br />-JC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-72847503177972867492011-09-25T14:30:11.699-07:002011-09-25T14:30:11.699-07:00"One great one will be on Tuesday at 9:00 am ..."One great one will be on Tuesday at 9:00 am - a debate between Geoffrey Canada and Diane Ravitch. <i> I have a feeling they have more in common than might be expected.</i>"<br />==========<br />Diane and Wendy Kopp have a lot in common in their views ... but their differences are critical.<br /><br />We may find the same with Mr. Canada.dan dempseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536720661510933983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-88938374713914698882011-09-25T11:28:08.594-07:002011-09-25T11:28:08.594-07:00Monday speech:
