stealing public funding while disguising themselves as 'concerned about education'.

They were clever though, starting at the local level where they can influence politicians more easily and get them elected. People have been saying all along that it is important to get involved at the local level and I can see why now. Stop them where they begin.

It's really shameful that our elected officials have made it so easy for the robbers to steal so much of our public funding. $5 million to a Corporate CEO who would not even respond to questions for this film, money that could do so much for children in poor areas. It's downright robbery, no other name for it. They not only don't care about kids, they don't know anything about them.

You're losing your greatest asset, america: Your free public school education.
Time to wise up.

I just sent this to my teacher's union and administration.

There is nothing short of mass protests in the street that will stop these thieves and criminals who have taken over ever part of our country. It's too late for voting, it's too late for writing letters, it's too late for little rallies in front of government. It's too late for anything but mass non-violent protests.

Wake me up when the rest of real America has come to the same realization.

if they don't have kids or theirs aren't old enough to be in school yet, this won't be on their radar.
