This is the website to register. Thank you for advertising this event. The parent trigger is “miss-firing” right here is California. Evidence is piling up. Since it was never piloted, there was NO track record or evidence of its ultimate success according to its mission. Shortly after the law was passed, there was a rush to “clean” up the law which was done in November of 2011. Now that several “triggers” have been pulled in and around Los Angeles, even more major flaws are becoming evident. Bottom line….Parent Revolution may be running out of ammo. Sorry for the reference to weapons, but this law is virtually killing schools and communities, and seriously wounding children and teachers. Hint……in all three instances, teaching staffs will be replaced either by choice of the teacher or by elements in the law. In all of these cases, the teachers had been well supported by the parents. Oh, just collateral damage I guess.

Fortunately the press is finally catching on to this hoax. Today in the Los Angeles Times there was an editorial suggesting legislation to “clean up several aspects of this somewhat sloppily crafted law.”
