All of the scripts below were shared with me by a fellow education activist from California. These scripts are based on more detailed articles and can be used to speak to School Boards, Elected officials etc. or just share with friends, relatives, neighbors and other parents. Some of the full articles with more details may be available as a link in the script but if not and you want to see the entire article send me an email from the HOME tab and let me know what article you need based on the script #. If you have any questions about ESSA feel free to get in touch. I am also going to include some information from experts in the field on the subject of ESSA as well. Bottom line is: the federal government now THINKS they OWN education and your children. Unless parents stand up and refuse to comply in 10 years I know we will live to regret that we didn't fight back when we could. We must tell ourselves every hour of every day. WE ARE THEIR BOSS it is not the other way around folks and they cannot tell us what to do with our children although they will try. Practice in the mirror I WILL NOT COMPLY. NOT WITH MY CHILD YOU DON'T. Then put it to practical use. It gets easier the more you do it. The voice of parents has been silenced for decades we need to get back the voice of parental rights and authority. BUT we cannot rely on our elected officials at any level to do it for us. We must get up from our knees and stand tall. We must start saying NO!! Remember 2 things that Arne Duncan said recently.
Duncan said:
1. "there are some kids we will have to have 24/7." Although they would like you to think he was talking about the disadvantaged I can tell you they are NOT the children he is talking about. They do not care about the disadvantaged it is the children or the children of families that don't fit their agenda that he is talking about......are they your children he is talking about?
2. " the day will come when we can look at a 2nd grader and tell if that child will go to college or not." Do you think they could have looked at Dr. Ben Carson in 2nd grade and determined he would one day become the #1 pediatric neurosurgeon in the world? You see they don't really care what YOU or children might want to do or what they might aspire to be it will be what THEY need to satisfy the global economy. THIS IS WHY THEY NEED DATA. This is why you need refuse the high stakes tests, surveys, use of computers in the classroom (the computer is how the indoctrinate and collect biometric data. And if you can PLEASE consider home school I would ask that you consider giving it a try. I can help.

Here is the ESSA Bill. It is 1061 pages (and NONE of the TN legislators sitting in DC read this bill...I don't think Alexander himself really knows what is in this bill) and I am working through all of the pages but as you can see at time I posted the bill I have already highlighted areas of concern.

How Alexander, Kline, Obama, Duncan and many other elected deceived the public. In TN Rep. DesJarlais and Rep. Blackburn voted NO. The remaining 7 voted in favor of ESSA and they NEVER read it. The bill was given to them on Monday and they voted for it on Wednesday.
