"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."
--Martin Luther King, Jr.

Anonymous said...: Okay. Many of our children in our public schools are oppressed. They are trapped in underperforming schools with no viable options except hot air from legislators, bureaucrats afraid of their shadow and the union.

Carl Rollins we demand accountability for closing gaps in our troubled public schools, NOW.

Carl Rollins we demand discussions in your committee based on facts, not spin, NOW.

Carl Rollins we demand action, not more study, NOW.

Carl Rollins we want you to become part of the solution, not the primary problem - NOW.

If you want to lead then lead - NOW.

If you want to totally shut down any meaningful system reform that would help our oppressed students then GO HOME - NOW.

Any fool can protect the unacceptable. Carl Rollins you are doing a great job of being the fool and patsy for the establishment everyday.

However, good people working together can free our oppressed students when the intent and focus is to give our oppressed students the education WE PAY FOR and THEY DESERVE.

Grow up Carl Rollins and represent the students. The adults don't need any more representation at your level. They can buy all they need.; January 17, 2011 at 6:36 PM
