At a meeting of the Montclair, New Jersey, school board, the union president was speaking and was cut off. The teachers in the audience were outraged. So were sympathetic members of the public. Watch the video.

Told my husband and he said, “GOOD!” He an Aerispace engineer and knows ithe academic gap is about POVERTY. He is as sick of the lunacy as I am as are his colleagues and friends. They know that VAM is bad. They know the repression of testing. They know that all the deform going on is about profits, control, and power over. They know about what numbers DO NOT TELL US. They know that standardizing humans is an exercise in futility and that imagination and creativity ARE important! Congress is demonstrating that they are obsolete! Congress is incompetent.
We have a Government in crisis. That is where the problem is! Congress is in Rigor Mortis!

It is that very rigor mortis that is keeping them from passing the new ESEA–otherwise known as Son of NCLB: the Darkness Falls.
So, I am am grateful for it.

This is simply beautiful. They tried to jerk the chain of the people and they answered in a beautiful way back at them. This is truly inspiring.

I was there last night at the Montclair Bd of Ed mtg, stood with audience to read aloud in unison the teacher union president’s silenced remarks, very inspiring, a big defeat for the anti-union board and the new Broadie Supt. it hired, more battles ahead.
