Diane Ravitch Speaks In Sacramento!

Here are some tweets that Alice Mercer, David B. Cohen, and I sent out during Diane Ravitch's speech at the Sacramento Convention Center tonight, January 20th, 2012. Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, Linda Darling-Hammond, and others also spoke. (I've also added newspaper coverage)

    Darling-Hammond distances herself from Obama ed policies. Advised him on one set of reforms, and we got something totally different.

    False claims are made about achievement, about what works, this is a well-funded campaign to privatize education.

    You couldn't go to a public park and ask 50% of the people if the park could be sold.
