While
we continue to fight for local control of education, the federal government
looks to eliminate it.
The
No Child Left Behind law created a culture of extreme testing and
oppressive federal intervention on students, teachers and school
administrators.
Next
week the House will vote to reauthorize No Child Left Behind (H.R. 5 Student
Success Act), thereby extending this outdated education policy
through 2021 and it MUST BE STOPPED!
From NCLB came Race to the Top, and from RTTT came the Common Core State Standards Initiative. If HR 5 passes, the federal government will own education!
HR
5 will transform all schools into government run schools, just like Europe. This will be
accomplished through the use of NATIONALIZED TESTS and CURRICULUMS and
Title I money.
Page
552-553 in this 597 page bill clearly states that if a State participates in
federal funding grants and programs (Title I) the state waives its
rights and gives full authority to the federal government. Click Here to
read the bill
TAKE
IMMEDIATE ACTION!
Call
your Representative and tell him/her to vote "NO"
on HR 5!
Tell
them we want to SUNSET NCLB and defund the Dept of Education. We
do not want this failed program to continue.
The vote is
expected nextTuesday, so ACT NOW!
