A lot of my friends are worried that our petition drive, aimed at changing the administration's education policies, will jeopardize the President's re-election campaign. But think of it another way. Since it looks increasingly likely- thanks to the current Republican candidates- that President Obama will win again, our petition drive is insurance against another four years of having a Mad Hatter as Secretary of Education who is now turning his testing and assessment obsession upon college professors as well as public school teachers. His latest scheme is to rate college education programs on the test scores of students taught by their graduates. This will virtually guarantee that no professor will want their students to work in low performing schools! If you want to restore sanity to American Education at all levels, please sign and circulate this petition!
