When the Democrats hold their national convention, this is the film that should be shown:
During the Democratic Convention, I’d like to be invited to a viewing of the documentary, The Inconvenient Truth About Waiting for Superman. I’d like to see a similar panel of Democrats speaking afterward against privatization of our public schools and on behalf of teachers and students.
What a great idea! “The Inconvenient Truth About Waiting for Superman” was produced by teachers and parents in New York City.
It was made by the Grassroots Education Movement, whose symbol is an RR (Real Reformers).
Can anyone out there set up a screening for real Democrats who support public education and oppose privatization?

I sent an email to Ted Kirsch, AFT PA, who is to be a delegate at the DNC. I provided a link to the film.
He was the past PFT President in Philadelphia.

Wouldn’t it be lover-ly!

YES!
I would love that!!! everything crossed here.
Totally agree!!
That would be a fantastic way for the Democratic party to assure teachers that they have not been bought off by Bill Gates and his Lobbyists.
That would involve bucking this president, his Sec. of Education, and their educational policies. I don’t see that happening. I daresay nearly as many Democrats are profiting from “reform” as Republicans, so we’ll likely get little help from them.
Then again, maybe it would take something slightly more subtle to get through to them.
