1. Good luck with that.

2. I believe the WIC program already got cut in the Cromnibus that Obama championed.

Pell grants cut in order to give lenders more money. So - Sorry, Bernie, that change is not gonna come any time soon.
Maybe you can do it!

4. Obama also champions his Race to the Top education policy that gives millions

to testing companies and unaccountable, billionaire backed charter schools, punishes schools that do not tie teacher evaluation to standardized tests, and forces Special Education programs to adopt Common Core. Education and social safety nets are not Obama's top priority. Pleasing bank CEOs such as Jaime Dimon and others are Obama's top priority.

7. He has also been messing things up for universities too. Lots of stupid new regulations,

and his dumb plan to have federal evaluations of universities.

[liberal_at_heart]

8. exactly. He needs to forget the new evaluations and regulation, and instead increase funding.

This whole corporate business tactic of seeing who can prove they deserve the dollars is not what education should be about.

3. Um yeah.

5. Warning from the Surgeon General

Do not hold your breath until this happens. It could prove fatal.

[Faryn Balyncd]

6. Veto any cuts & Americans will support you. Fail the American people & it will be the end of the

...Democratic Party as a political force.



Thank you, Sen. Sanders!
