Senator Elizabeth Warren announced today that she would vote NO on Question2, the proposal to expand the state’s charter schools by 12 a year forever.
I received the following message from Save Our Schools:
“We are excited to announce that Elizabeth Warren has joined the ever growing movement to vote NO and we are hoping you can help us get the word out! We know the best way to do that are one on one conversations. Below we have provided a suggested email blast that includes links to RSVP to our upcoming events. We have also provided links to retweet and share on your social media channels.
“Massachusetts public schools will lose $450 million in funding to charter schools this year. Our students can’t afford to lose anymore.

We have great news – Senator Warren is officially #NoOn2.
“I will be voting no on Question 2…I am very concerned about what this specific proposal means for hundreds of thousands of children across our Commonwealth, especially those living in districts with tight budgets where every dime matters.”
It’s time to stand up to the out-of-state billionaires and join Senator Warren and the Democratic State Committee to fight for quality education for ALL Massachusetts students.

Yet here, in Nevada, this website was just posted. My heart is breaking.

Sadly, Pandora Radio (a favorite of mine,) is running frequent ads in support of Question 2. The adds claim that public schools will actually get more money if question 2 is approved, and that contrary to claims by “the opposition” voting in favor will not take any money from traditional public schools. Voting yes is supposed to make “all public schools” better. Has anyone heard the ads? Fact corrections necessary?
