I am excited to have the endorsement of Stand for Children for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. I appreciate their support for our re-election, and their awesome for work for the students of Indiana!If you aren't sure what Stand for Children really stands for, be sure to watch this 15 minute video. As quoted from Schoolmatters.info, in this video...
we see Jonah Edelman of Stand for Children infamy describe in great detail how great wads of hedge-fund and other corporate cash came to bear on the last legislative election in Illinois, how all the best lobbyists were bought up by Deform (including minority ones), how unions were outspent and how politicians followed the money, how teacher unions were lured to the table and how they were totally manhandled by the best lawyers and negotiators that money can buy, how union leaders became complicit, scared, weak, groveling.
The entire article at schoolsmatter.info is here.
Once again, just as Bennett sat on the NCTQ and Chiefs for Change that created the need and then endorsed the need for new teacher accountability rules, you will find that the same people who have donated most of the million plus dollars to Bennett's campaign are also the one endorsing his campaign.
