We would like to each of you to send and email to the following news figures:Kieth Olberman countdown@msnbc.comAmy Goodman mail@democracynow.orgPlease use the subject heading "Saving Public Education, Saving Democracy." We believe this message will resonate with all 3 individuals, and we believe that 4,014 emails [ER Newsletter recipients] in their inbox will get their attention.We simply ask that you share your concerns about the legislation, and we ask that you encourage these individuals to read our research and make our national movement a national story.Please put this on your "to do" list(s)!We also encourage you to participate in a telephone conversation with your representatives.
This space explores issues in public education policy, and it advocates for a commitment to and a re-examination of the democratic purposes of schools. If there is some urgency in the message, it is due to the current reform efforts that are based on a radical re-invention of education, now spearheaded by a psychometric blitzkrieg of "metastasizing testing" aimed at dismantling a public education system that took almost 200 years to build.
