Say No to the Corporate Takeover of Our Schools
At the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) big corporations write and sponsor free-market policy bills alongside state legislators. These bills aren't looking out for the good of working American's, though. Corporations spend big money to push ALEC's priorities: Defund. Deregulate. Privatize. Profit.
When it comes to education, those policies place the interests of big business over the wellbeing of students across America. And that's not right.
The track records for ALEC's education policies are shameful. They are not research proven reforms and they have a real negative impact on students.
ALEC is looking to corporatize our schools, placing profits over the right of all students to access quality education.
Parents and communities get it. Real education reform policies have to address inequities and allow educators to be a voice for their students and the profession, not just dump taxpayer money into the coffers of private corporations.
Send a message to your Congressional representatives today: Stand up for students and against the corporate takeover of our schools!
Dear [Representative],
All children should have access to quality education and a bright future. In order to make that a reality, we need strong public education that looks out for the best interests of students across America. But right now ALEC is working hard to push forward dangerous legislation that could corporitize our schools and put the interests of big business ahead of the wellbeing of students.
