You should read her letter to President Obama.

Diane Ravitch's blog 
The second Presidentail debate will use some questions submitted by the public. Does anyone know how to send these in? I searched and found a lot of organizations wanting to collect such questions, but could not find format to officially submit questions. We could send our questions about education to this entity. It will help balance out what the privatizers will be sending.
Miss Katie has written an incredibly powerful letter. Too bad Obama will probably never see it.
