Say NO to Cuomo’s Anti-Public Education Agenda. Cuomo’s heart belongs to the hedge fund managers. He does not care about public school kids. He is the lobbyist for the charter industry.

Come protest at the Dem state convention where Cuomo will be re-nominated for Governor a week from Thursday!

Since taking office in 2011, Governor Cuomo has abandoned our public schools by:
· Underfunding public schools and refusing to comply with the Campaign for Fiscal Equity ruling, starving our schools and students of classroom funding and resources.
· Proposing to give less classroom dollars to public schools that serve 97% of students, while driving more resources and special privileges to charter schools that serve a mere 3% of students across the state.
· Increasing testing and teaching to the test through the botched implementation of the Common Core and the flawed teacher evaluation system.
· Collecting large sums of campaign cash from hedge fund managers and super-wealthy donors that want to push forward more corporate-style reforms.

I’ve seen dates for the protest for the 21st AND the 22nd. I think I’ve read somewhere that the 21st is better because everyone might be gone by the 22nd at 4:00. Either way, there should be one date. I think that having the most people protesting on one day is more effective than having smaller crowds on two days.
I agree, the Wednesday might be better for media attention as well – and that’s all the pols really care about anyway!
