The Alliance for Quality Education and New York Communities for Change, both of which fight for equitable funding of schools in low-incoe communities, have created a website called it “The Real Campbell Brown.”
Although Brown was a CNN anchor, she was not known to the parent groups that have fought for economic and social equity for minority children for many years.

Wait, I’m confused now. Campbell Brown and Michelle Bachman aren’t the same individual?

Unfortunately they only allude to her husband and do not flesh out his decades long history of Right Wing political, and Wall Street/hedge fund, activities. Brown and husband Dan Senor, fancy themselves the power couple who will put coffin nails in the public school system in NY….rather like Eli and Edythe Broad in LA….but Eli has the clout and the bank account to do the dirty deeds, and he is helping finance this NY onslaught patterned on California’s Vergara decision, much as he did with Welch in California. Neither do they mention that Ted Olson’s winning law firm is going to run this lawsuit…nor that she has David Boies on her Board. For this liberal lawyer to be in that role, there is way too much that we do not know here. His presence on her Board is really an anachronism.

“So you think tenure is a bad thing?” at Daily Kos, Aug. 7- an excellent defense which links to, the BATS response, to Whoopi Goldberg.

It’s wonderful that this group is being proactive!
How about the bold lie by Campbell Brown that Kirkland and Ellis are doing this pro bono, when it says very clearly in the court filing that the plaintiffs are seeking injunctive relief which includes the following:
“(iii) Award plaintiffs all costs and expenses incurred in bringing this action, including
reasonable attorney’s fees and costs;
(iv) Such other relief available under New York law that may be considered appropriate
under the circumstances, and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.” (p. 23)

if awarded, that will be at taxpayer expense, since it’s the state and state organizations that are the defendants being sued.
Since when does pro bono mean ‘taxpayers must compensate us if we win’???

The attorneys’ fees demand in the request for relief is probably an error due to a cut-and-paste job in the drafting of the complaint.
