Badass Teachers are making their presence known! Article about challenge to Common Core

25K strong, the BATs are standing up to Arne Duncan, Barack Obama, corporate deformers, Jeb Bush, Rick Scott and so many others who are killing local control of education!!!

I hope the BATs make their presence felt at Rick Scott's dog and pony education symposium next week in Clearwater!
