The Goalie vs. Our Worst Nightmare
I’m at the Netroots Nation convention. I spoke at an open discussion on doing the right thing for our students. The audience included passionate activists in health care, justice, the environment, education, retirement protection, unions, you name it.
There was palpable frustration with President Obama. There were lots of questions for me regarding Education Secretary Arnie Duncan and his policies to continue the inappropriate use of testing and pushing competitive grants with winners and losers instead the rights for all students to needed services regardless of whether or not your district had a good grant writer. We have a lot of fights with Secretary Duncan.
I was asked about the coming election next fall. I was asked why educators should support President Obama’s re-election
