Schools Matter: Today in NYC a rally against Don't back Down. Chicago Teacher Union real thing
PARENTS "Wont Back Down"
FROM FIGHTING THE CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF OUR SCHOOLS!
The film Wont Back Down is backed by conservative billionaires Rupert Murdoch and Philip Anschtuz. The law portrayed in the movie, called parent trigger, claims to be about parent empowerment but actually promotes the privatization of public schools and blaming teachers for struggling schools. The movie claims to be 'inspired by actual events' but not a single school in the country has successfully used Parent Trigger.
This Sunday, at the red carpet world premiere of the movie, JOIN us in showing Hollywood & the paparazzi the REAL parents who "won't back down."
