On perhaps one of the most important days in recent Kentucky education reform history, the day when a dark-money-Trojan-horse voucher bill made its way onto the floor of Kentucky's General Assembly, not one, not two, but three candidates, who were endorsed by the largest teachers union in the state, failed to deliver the one vote… Continue reading Where Are JCTA-Endorsed Reps When It Matters?
A Dose of Their Own Medicine, Perhaps House Bill 208 (#HB208), the “back-to-school bill,” started out with good intentions, or so they were led to believe. It was positioned to some legislators as a “funding bill.” They were told districts needed this new language in order for SEEK dollars to follow students because after the… Continue reading Will They Kill #HB208?

He also voted for charter schools and the infamous "sewer bill." But terrible… Continue reading Terrible Endorsements Are Nothing New
