Help Florida Parents of Third Graders Fight for Their Children
I just contributed $200 to this just cause.
If we crowd source our support, parents in Florida can fight the unjust law that prevents their children from advancing to fourth grade unless they take and pass the state test. Children who opt out will be retained. Children who received all A’s all year will flunk.
Support the parents fighting this stupid state mandate:
Dear Friends of Public Education,
As the Plaintiffs move towards the Florida Supreme Court, they must continue to pay their attorney. They have agreed to pay $7400.00 to progress this case. This is a small portion of the entire legal bill. With your generous donations, we can make it.
Here is a compelling video appeal from one of the parents: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_y8yDe0lOu0
At this time they have raised over $5000.00 of that $7400.00 and for that we thank you!
The families now have until April 4th to commit so please share the campaign and continue to support the fight to make sure that #180DaysCount.

It has been encouraging that SO MANY teachers have donated.
