Here is a great way to stop the attacks on teachers and stop the privatization of public education: elect teachers to fight for kids and public schools.
Marie Corfield is a teacher who is running for the New Jersy Assembly. She already has had one face-to-face confrontation with Governor Chris Christie. I hope she has the chance to have many more. The Christie administration is determined to give public funds to profiteers and entrepreneurs to run schools.
New Jersey has great public schools. They regularly rank #2 or 3# of all states on NAEP. New Jersey also has districts that are intensely poor and segregated. Profiteers won't cure their deep economic ills.
Corfield is in a tight race. She has a good chance to win.
You can help her with a contribution or by clicking on the link in Jersey Jazzman's post about her.
Many, many thanks, Dr. R!
Folks, Marie needs help NOW – it won’t cost you a cent and it will take literally one minute! Read about it here:

Just tell the DLCC to support Marie’s race – that’s it! Again, it will take one minute, it won’t cost you a thing, and it will annoy the heck outta Chris Christie!
All my fellow teachers, I’m asking you to step up on this one. We need to let this great teacher and great candidate that we take care of our own. Please do this by Tuesday, when the DLCC nominations end.
Thanks!
Done. Thanks, JJ, for letting us know how to make a difference.
Done!
Done with pleasure! We need as many teachers as we can get in state legislatures.
Thank you Diane! We need Marie in the NJ legislature and your support will help make that happen!
Done!
Is there a change in the font. I can hardly read the page. I hope I didn’t press wrong buttons
