A Night at the Movies with John Kasich....and Michelle (with a motive) Rhee..... Grab your popcorn and...don't forget your erasers!

From RH Jones, May 21, 2011
To all:
You can see a short movie that counters Kasich's attack on public schools on the "ProgressOhio.ORG" below. I contributed some money to the ProgressOhio.org; I hope you will too. The Beacon reported that Kasich is raising millions to fight the referendum of SB 5 and the November vote, If and when we get enough signatures. If you haven't yet, please sign the referendum.

Ohio schools are facing a $3.1 billion funding shortfall, yet Gov. John Kasich is inviting all of Ohio to the movies tonight.

Kasich is encouraging people to watch a pro-charter school movie tonight in an attempt to provide cover for his plan to divert $800 million out of our public schools. Kasich’s plan is dangerous because Ohio’s charter school system is poorly implemented. Many of our state’s charter schools have poor performance and are managed by for-profit operators that don’t always put students first.

Even more outrageous is his special guest, Michelle Rhee. She’s currently at the center of a storm over a cheating controversy, in the school system she oversaw.

We’ve put together our own very, very short movie for you to watch this evening.

We hope you find it educational…
