The in box. SOS. No endorsements necessary.

Bro,
I’m still not sure why anyone at the RA would think that SOS would need or want the NEA’s endorsement of our upcoming national conference in D.C. We don’t need any group’s endorsement to hold a conference any more that the NEA needs SOS’s endorsement in order to hold their RA.
And of course good people like Diane Ravitch and Anthony Cody support SOS. But what does that matter? We’re not holding a popularity contest. Only standing up for public schools in defense of teachers, students, parents and their communities. If you’re down with this (and I know you are) and oppose the testing madness and privatization schemes of the 1-percenters (which I know you do), you are all welcome to attend our national conference in D.C., Aug. 3-5 and make your voices heard.

We salute our brothers and sisters in the NEA for holding a successful convention.
