- Never forget this: One can’t say opponents of #RttT #edreform don’t care about kids. But many of them care about the more about the adults. #
- Never forget this: One can’t say opponents of #RttT #edreform don’t care about kids. But many of them care more about the adults. #
- After all, as many as 38 percent of some of those adults in Chicago Public Schools, for example, send their kids to private schools. #

- Looks like Obey got the votes #
- RT @TNTP: House just passed Obey’s edujobs amendment (including cuts to #edreform 239-182. #
- #NEA power: Just 9 #
- #NEA power: Just nine Democrats voted against the amendment. Reminder of my point earlier today: https://dropoutnation.net/t5g #
- #edreform activists will need to build an advocacy ground game/grassroots/#parentpower coalition to beat back #NEA #AFT #
- RT @EdEquality: RT @charteralliance check out the NEA’s facebook page, read their wall, refer to Obey amend. as “their bill,” interesting #
- Now, will Obama actually veto the bill if it comes to him with #RttT cuts. My bet? He will sign it. Needs to keep Congress. #
- If this isn’t a sign of the need for divided government, I don’t know what is #edreform #
- Palmieri notes that in Detroit, R. Bobb fired #DPS superintendent Gueyser (of l’Affair Otis Mathis) #edreform #BlackEd #
- RT @misternaite These #i3 fund proposals are causing early debates-guess #edreform wasn’t meant to be easy. Let’s ease the #politics people! #
- @eduphilia Nah. As I said last night, if the cuts stay, Obama signs. Democrats need #NEA Congressional control more than #edreform in reply to eduphilia #

- @alexanderrusso Your point is well-taken. But the #NEA #AFT does this stuff all the time. The difference is that they have the bodies… in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso #edreform advocates, on the other hand, don’t have the bodies. Last night proved that point. in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso In politics, unfortunately, congressmen/senators don’t understand hearts and minds. They do understand strength in numbers. in reply to alexanderrusso #
- So it’s time for #edreform advocates to get the numbers. This is the next evolution in the battle to reform American public education. #
- @alexanderrusso Let’s be real: Obey doesn’t care about embarrassment. He cares about Democrats keeping control of Congress. in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso And the #edreform movement, influential as it is, still doesn’t have #NEA #AFT numbers. in reply to alexanderrusso #
