Today BATS show solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Michigan, a
state where a particularly harsh recession has provided an excuse for an attack
on public education of unmatched viciousness. What has happened to the schools
of Detroit and Benton Harbor, where state takeovers have led to skyrocketing
classes sizes, elimination of art, music and sports, teacher firings
accompanied by the shattering of collective bargaining rights, and the
unmonitored invasion of charter schools, some startlingly corrupt, provides a
window into where we all may be headed if we don't fight back. Now, the state
is discussing adding the huge expense of requiring adherence to Common Core
Standards to the already overwhelming burden local school districts face.
Please make your voice heard BATS, for the teachers and students of Michigan.
In standing up for them, you are standing up for yourselves
