What would a real "Parent Revolution" look like?

...well it would at least be this critical of our reactionary millionaire Governor, whose refusal to tax corporations and the über-rich has placed their selfsame created financial crisis squarely on working class families.

This video is meant to be humorous, but the points it makes are cogent and real. While teacher and union bashing is all the rage with the elitist DFER/DLC/LAPU/PR jet-set, budget cuts are to blame all around here. What's more is that CMO charters exacerbate these problems, and so called "choice" is simply a way to re-segregate society, avoid teaching ELL and Special Needs Children, and let the rich further divide us. These aren't just the well documented conclusions the left has drawn — for a right of center analysis of these issues please read Diane Ravitch's watershed new book The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education.

TAX THE RICH! FIGHT BUDGET CUTS! STAND BY TEACHERS! EDUCATE EVERY CHILD!
