Trailer for Won't Back Down (2012)

Of all the shows this Sunday, the one that has me intrigued is Melissa Harris-Perry. She will be taking a look at education in this country. Education has been in the news a lot lately, what with the Chicago Teachers' Strike, the Republican Party demonizing teachers and their unions, calling for the obliteration of the federal education department, and the general attitude that our schools are failing our children. This ALEC-funded movie, Won't Back Down, isn't helping. Michelle Rhee--alleged Democratic darling of the corporate privatization of school movement-- is pushing this as a rallying call for parents to 'take back' their kids' schools. I have a radical notion: how about those parents get involved in the school that exists now? Advocate for funding for them, fight with the bureaucrats. Volunteer your time. For god sake, just ask your kid's teacher what will help them. What benefit does it have to anyone except those trying to wrench profits out of our babies' education to have parents pull out of the public system?
