A Letter to President Obama from the Save Our Schools March

by Ruth Rodríguez
Originally published at NCLB Outrages on August 1, 2011.

Testimony

It's heartwarming being in the presence of so many great educators and families at this momentous "Rally" in the heart of our nation's capital. I feared that the takeover of our public schools by a bunch of greedy businessmen will continue unchallenged. And so, in the midst of this massive demonstration, I feel energized, I feel ready to carry on, and carry on I will until our public schools are truly democratic institutions; therefore Mr. President, here is my message to you:

President Obama, your policies are making a mockery of our democracy, and to the democratic values we hold so dear. When you insist on pursuing the privatization of our public schools with little or no regards to the concerns of teachers, students and families, you show a lack of faith in our community's ability to work with you in finding real solutions, and instead you are trusting the private sector and handed over the education of our children to the same corporate moguls and politicians that have shown that they cannot take care of their own business, never mind the education of our precious children.
