Ohio enacted a dreadful state takeover bill in the dead of night called HB 70. It has placed Youngstown and Lotain City Public Schools under the control of a dictator. In response to public outrage, the Legislature is writing a new law.
Jan Resseger warns: Don’t Be Fooled! It is old wine in new bottles.
She writes:
Make no mistake, the Ohio School Transformation Plan is still a state takeover.
Diane Ravitch's blog 
This 18-page Ohio School Transformation Plan (alternate school takeover) was exposed before it was ready for the governor’s signature, so at the Senate Education Committee meeting, the chair simply denied its existence: “There is no secret workgroup. There is NO secret plan. A group of education thought leaders (no teachers or unions) just met a couple of times and jotted down some notes. Just CHILL.”

The Deformers need “physical LABOR” jobs. Maybe then they won’t have time to mess with other people’s children for their own profits.
Hope this species is able to understand that we have not been able to “think through” all the pitfalls of the UNWISE use of technology.
Look at Boeing, for example. The CEO of Boeing is not taking responsibility for the failure of management to “THINK” about what could go wrong when software is not integrated and then tested, tested, tested, and pilots need to be trained, trained, trained in simulators and onboard “real” aircrafts and of course, DOCUMENT.
This country has gone MAD with ignorance at their side.
Look at the side effects of breast implants, for example … cancer. Why isn’t this information being shared far and wide? Answer: PROFITS fueled stupidity.

This madness has and must stop! These dictators they have placed on thrones from Mt Olympus are out of control! It has been so profoundly said : Absolute Power Corrupts! Well this Bafoon we have wants to alleged our school board is corrupt? Seriously, when he himself, has constantly been caught in different stories and misdirections! He refuses to talk with anyone other then his little soldiers that have been proven less then qualified to be where they are! All the while blowing tax money like it’s an endless checkbook! Constant term oil, tensions with everyone and everything! This is no leadership this a destruction, not construction! Who could think, if an environment were hostile, how could any person, not be afraid, go there and be focused and concentrate on the tasks at hand? No one, never in history can any human being function normally and succeed! He knows this that’s how a master manipulator works and this Hardy is a master at it! Spinning things to look like everyone’s picking on the minority’s! All children are important and I say ALL! This monster is trying to weave his tangled web and causing Kaios in the wake! He must be stopped before it’s to late! I speak as a local business leader who’s out with the people every day! I hear about it all the time. Regular people, teachers past and present just can’t believe what is going on! And neither can I! Ya know I’ve tried things here, when they work great, when they don’t, I stop them immediately, not in our government! Here we have these supposed highly educated people that are the most stupid people I’ve ever heard! I fear they’ll never get it right except for bigger money! We will be left with the mess and they really do not care! If I were there boss, simple, here’s you’re timeline to fix it or, you’re fired! Simple!!!!!! Sorry for the long words but it’s how I feel watching these idiots harm us all and they have no stake in this community oh but they lie like they care so much! I hope they burn in Hell for this monster they’ve created and are unwilling to kill!

They won’t jam anything through in Youngstown. It’s an interesting place- they’re kind of feisty 🙂
They are just not going to be railroaded.
