Sabrina Stevens somehow got herself into a closed-door meeting of the ALEC education task force, and she told the task force how disturbed she was by what she saw. They told her that she does not “understand the process,” and it is clear in the video that they were shocked to find a real live teacher and advocate for public education in their midst.
I can’t wait to get a full account from Sabrina. Meanwhile, bravo, to our fearless champion!
Diane, I found the link you provided would not work. A working link can be found here:
Sabrina- You Go Girl!!!!! What an inspiration you are to all of us. Watching this video made my day!!

Love this teacher for being so brave! I wish she had stayed to see what other bs they would have tried to serve her. What did they mean about the “public” members of the board who vote? Nothing so uncomfortable for folks like this than to have a real, sincere person in the room who represents the “other” for whom they are making bad decisions. Hope we get to hear the whole story. I am guessing she was pretty upset with what she had heard by the time she spoke, yet she spoke with clarity and truth. GO SABRINA!
Inspired.
Wow! What an awesome brave woman to take on the suits! Very impressive!!!
This is what I am talking about. Now we need more teachers like Sabrina who can do this, and we will have a better shot to reform education in this country the right way. Way to go Sabrina!
I was a bit confused about what was going on at this meeting. Is this a meeting to determine ALEC’s policy stand?
Can anybody identify any of those whispering people in suits bustling around behind our spokeswoman?
Bravo Sabrina! Not that I’m surprised but what a lack of diversity in all catergories at that meeting. So sad to see democracy being hi-jacked. Time for us to take it back!
Just watched the video on You Tube. Thank you Sabrina for getting right in their face in their private closed door meeting. Whatever you did to get in there it is great. You understand the process real well. They are the crooks who are the tools of the super wealthy who do not care about us. It is amazing how easy it is to buy people if you are wealthy. ALEC is an organization that is against the public and for the super wealthy to enable them to take all of our freedom and cash and that is all they are about.
Fantastic, Sabrina is a superhero for our times–a TRUE “Superman” (woman). Now somebody figure out how to save this video before the corporate machine gets it removed from YouTube and it gets lost.
Sabrina,
Can you tell us where this meeting took place and how you got in? Also, is there a public schedule of meetings throughout the nation and how can we spread the word. I would attend and ask questions if there was one in my area. How can we make this information public? Thank you from all of us.
I loved watching the people on the dais squirm and try to figure out what to do with this interloper and her photographer. What a great way to let them know that “we’re watching you.”
