ALEC's Education Task Force vs Actual Teacher. Teacher Wins.

Check out this inside look at ALEC, and the cowards working behind the scenes trying to destroy public education for profit. When they had to confront an actual teacher during policy talks, they had nothing. In fact, they were annoyed by the teachers lack of how their down-the-rabbit hole process works. Diane Ravitch has the story, she's an historian of education and Research Professor of Education at New York University:
Sabrina Stevens somehow got herself into a closed-door meeting of the ALEC education task force, and she told the task force how disturbed she was by what she saw. They told her that she does not “understand the process,” and it is clear in the video that they were shocked to find a real live teacher and advocate for public education in their midst.
