The Gates Foundation has given them over six million dollars:<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/22/education/22gates.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all<br /><br />I just read today how Dennis Van Roekel of the NEA wept over "Won't Back Down" and thought it was a "great movie":<br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/09/in-2012-democratic-convention-unity-without-unions.html<br /><br />Public school teachers are under full attack and the people who are supposed to be defending us are joining the attackers.

They do not understand the only way to fight a bully is to punch it back in the face, whether or not it is "Taping Mouth" Rhee or "10,000 BTU AC by my limo window" Bloomberg. Stop giving into these people. Hey Weingarten/Mulgrew, there is NOTHING left for us to give. You have already sold everything we have out to the 1%. ENOUGH! You work for us. How about coming and spending, a few weeks talking to actual teachers. And not just in hand picked schools. ALL OF THEM!Teachmy class MrMayornoreply@blogger.com
