Yesterday I posted a video of students protesting against StudentsFirst.
The students carried signs and spoke on camera.
They objected to that organization’s support for high-stakes testing and for charters invading their communities. In addition, they complained that StudentsFirst had honored a Georgia state senator as “education reformer of the year,” when he was known as virulently anti-immigrant.
StudentsFirst said the students were pawns for the union.
The video has been taken down.
I will try to locate it.
I watched it when you first posted it. It did work yesterday afternoon. Is Randi
Kaye moonlighting for SF?
I was disappointed it was not available. Do hope it can be relocated.
Remember–not Randi Kaye (she is but a cog in the corporate wheel). Jim Walton, President of Worldwide CNN, son of Sam Walton, patriarch of the 1% Walton Family, which despises public education (and Dr. Ravitch) and glorifies Michelle Rhee, charters schools and–above all-$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
I found the link and have tried to post it, but it isn’t coming up. Search at News 12 NY for StudentsFirst.
ReTiredbutMisstheKids- You’ve answered the possible CNN DIane Ravitch comment deletion scandal. Here’sn article I found:
To survive, should CNN take sides?
The network is in a quandary about the direction it needs to take to regain viewership.

In addition, Jim Walton has said he’ll leave at the end of the year.

BTW- Does anyone know if the comments on the Randi Kaye-Diane Ravitch interview are still disappearing? I’ve avoided looking?
