After a brief break we are launching a new Education Activist with a new look and a new editor. As always, we welcome your comments. You'll find legislative activity, calls for action, resources and friendly organizations. We have not abandoned traditional methods altogether, but using the website helps us to lower our costs and reach a larger audience.
Local legislatures are busy in session, so now is a good time to get active.
If we're to be victorious, we need your support. If the Right is able to funnel public money to private schools in the form of vouchers and tax credits, our public schools won't have the money they need to offer quality education. Those estimates don't include the money it would take to build the 2,400 new public schools needed to accommodate the nearly 5 million students who will be enrolled by the middle of this decade. Today the sun is shining on America and the roofs that need the most fixing are the roofs of our nation's schools. America's schools clearly need our help.
