Daily Kos: Badass Teachers Association - the website

Daily Kos: Badass Teachers Association - the website:

Badass Teachers Association - the website

On June 20 I posted Badass Teachers Association - teachers fight back.  At that point BAT was organized only through Facebook, and you could not even explore the group without belonging to Facebook, which for some was a problem.
Since its establishment, in a bit under two weeks, BAT has grown to more than 20,000.  It has organized a call-in to the White House to dump Arne Duncan.  It has begun organizing state groups.
And now?  For those who want to know more, and/or to participate, but do not wish to be on Facebook, we offer you Badass Teachers Asscoeiation - the website.
The movement is real.
it includes teacher educators as well as teachers.
It includes retired educators as well as active educators.
It includes supporters such as parents.
If you care about what is happening to our public schools, it should include you.
Take a look.
Poke around.
We welcome your support.
