Now is the Time to Stand Up and Be Counted
Remember my thread about the list of who does and does not support I-1240? Remember how the No On 1240 group list dwarfed the Yes list AND had the biggest diversity of educators, parents and community groups? Well, consider the list of individuals, particularly elected officials who are, as private citizens, taking a stand against 1240.
I have written to many elected officials to not stand by and be silent. Any elected official who thinks they can be silent and think voters might not remember that silence in the future if 1240 passes - when schools have EVEN less money and non-failing schools get taken over by a charter - is wrong. And I will be the first to say it out loud.
What's interesting is if you go to either the No On 1240 campaign or the No On I-1240 campaign, they both have endorsement pages for both individuals and groups. The Yes folks? No such list; in fact here's all they say about their endorsements:
The Washington Public Charter Schools Initiative is supported by a growing bi-partisan coalition of education
