Jonathan Pelto is the most independent and reliable source of education news in Connecticut. He has prodigious research skills and uses them to support public education as to expose skulduggery, frauds, and privatization. Jonathan took charge of organizing the Education Bloggers Network, which now has nearly 300 pro-public education bloggers. Jonathan compares them to the Committees of Correspondence that informed and encouraged the movement for independence before the American Revolution.

 

Jonathan needs our help to keep his blog alive.

 

Connecticut is overrun with corporate reformers–millionaires and billionaires– who live in exclusive enclaves like Greenwich, Darien, and New Canaan. They don’t send their children to public schools or even charter schools, but they want to control them. The corporate reformers are major supporters of Governor Malloy, who has shown deference to charter schools in his budgeting and his appointments.

 

We need Jonathan to keep shining the light on the state government and its cozy dealing with the state’s 1%.
