Let's start a grassrioots campaign to dump Duncan and hire Diane Ravitch.
This is very simple. I say teachers need to stay home in November 2010 and November 2012 unless there is change in the Department of Education. Unless he acts now to correct the wrongs brought by Duncan and RTTT, Obama must be punished and punished hard for his treatment of public schools. Let the whole damn Democratic Party pay. Public schools are being left to rot but my child will be in public schools. My child's brain is not for sale to corporations looking to control education.

1. Better yet, hire Lois Weiner
She saw right through who was behind the effort to destroy public education, and it's the same rotten bunch who is behind destroying the middle class in this country and globally--the World Bank and the neoliberals.

2. Sitting out isn't a good strategy
Vote Green or Socialist if possible.

8. If we have to
I know if Obama was on the ballot in November I'd have a hard time voting for him because of his crappy education policies.
