Don't miss what's happening in education today, around the country.

August 7, 2020

A BUSY WEEK IN ADVANCING #StudentsNotSystems:

“All this should help explain why so many — from left to right — are uniting in demanding that education funding bypass this corrupt system and flow directly to parents to make the decision where and how to educate their children.” Jeanne Allen’s piece for Forbes [[link removed]] sheds light on the “Extortion” of school reopening, which is echoed by this piece in the Wall Street Journal [[link removed]] on teachers unions using Covid-19 as a political weapon.

The movement only grew when Fox News [[link removed]] picked up the article and invited Jeanne to join them Wednesday on Fox & Friends [[link removed]] to discuss further “Everyone in America who has never realized how political this is needs to wake up and say, if you don't want to teach my children, give me the money back.”

THIS WEEKEND:

Tune into the Journal Editorial Report at 3 pm [[link removed]] when Jeanne joins Wall Street Journal Editorial director Paul Gigot for a more in depth review of school reopening plans.
