Reblogged from Diane Ravitch's blog:
In an earlier post, I described how Michelle Rhee's Students First collects "members" whenever anyone unwittingly signs a petition at change.org for a "kittens and puppies" cause or when they agree that they respect teachers. This is deceptive advertising. It turns out that Jonah Edelman's Stand for Children also benefited by misleading people who signed heart-warming petitions at change.org.
Never doubt that citizens can make a difference.
