Education Votes: "Protect yourself! Garlic and holy water won’t work in this case—but arming yourself with knowledge will.
The slew of terrible education policies that crept and crawled through state legislatures after the 2010 elections was no coincidence. It was a coordinated attack that ALEC spent years orchestrating. Check out this excellent primer by University of Wisconsin-Madison professors Julie Underwood, dean of the school of education, and Julie F. Mead for a deeper understanding of how ALEC undermines public education and how companies like virtual education providers Connections Academy and K-12 Inc. have wrangled their way to a pretty sweet deal. Mwahahahaha!
Finally, prepare to wield one of your greatest powers: “Make sure you’re registered to vote,” says teacher Erin Kirchoff. “Do your research, go to the polls, and no matter what party you’re registered with, vote for pro-public education candidates. We need to elect people who will work for children and schools, not against them.”"
