Robert Jackson is a great champion for public schools running for State Senate in District 13 in New York City. The NY Daily News reported today that one of his opponents in the Democratic primary has received more than $100,000 from hedge fund managers,GOP who who support more charters. Isn’t it amazing that so many wealthy people, who don’t send their children to public schools, are so deeply committed to privatizing the public schools? In this post, parent activist Tory Frye, long-time public school parent activist in Upper Manhattan who served as an elected parent member of Community Education Council in District 6 and two School Leadership Teams explains why you should help him, work for him, and vote for him. IF YOU LIVE IN NYC, DON'T MISS THIS ONE.

"In his groundbreaking new book Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution, Rob Kall invites and eases us into in a much-needed meta-level shift -- a truly basic paradigmatic shift from top-down to bottom-up. He capably and imaginatively explores the differences between these ways of approaching life, clearly demonstrating that bottom-up allows us to flourish. His vision and his book are enriched by telling references to interviews which he has engaged in over the years with bottom-up researchers, theorists, activists, and dreamers in a variety of areas. Think about Rob's interviews. Read this revolutionary book. And take one step further into the bottom-up universe yourself. You will not regret it."
