#NO WAY ESEA #NO WAY ESEA #NO WAY ESEA
KEEP CALLING (202-224-3121) AND EMAILING YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES!!!
S1177 (the Reauthorization of ESEA...the old No Child Left Behind Act) is a combination of Republican Congressman John Kline's HR5 Student Success Act and Republican Senator Lamar Alexander's Every Child Achieves Act 2015 (S1177)
You, members of Grassroots America, killed HR5 last February. You can kill its companion bill S1177, which is coming up for a full vote in the Senate any day now.

This is vintage Lamar Alexander from 1989. He thinks schools should be open year round, from 6 AM to 6 PM, to children 3 month's old to 18 year's old. He thinks the state can be a much better parent to a child than real parents. He was scary then. He is scarier now. He’s just learned how to wrap his intentions in nice-sounding phrases for the air wave sound bites and just confuse everybody with 600 pages of Congress-speak so that nobody wants to read it.
His bill is about increasing the number of charter schools, continuing a tortuous testing schedule, implementing invasive social and emotional screening and interventions, paid for by Medicaid, into every public school, and codifying outcome-based/soviet-style school- to-work training as a replacement for true classical education.
