URGENT ALERT - Come to Fort Meyers to Help the Lee County School Board Stand Strong Against Tyranny

September, 2014

Please help Lee County stand against the jackbooted thuggery of the state & federal governments! Because of the long list of threatened consequences, many of which are not constitutional and some of which are inaccurate, for opting out, board member Mary Fischer, who was the most undecided in the vote to opt out of state testing has asked the superintendent to call a meeting for Tuesday 9/2 at 8:30 AM.  It appears that this meeting was intentionally scheduled by the superintendent at a time after a holiday weekend and in the morning when it will be very difficult for teachers and parents to attend.  Fischer plans to offer a motion to rescind the courageous and historic vote of 8/27.  We must be there to support the board and to show the Establishment that this behavior from Tallahassee, Washington and the corporate bullies is unacceptable.This is a very big ask but if you can be there to speak during the public comment time, rally, and or show support, this would be an important time to do so. Here are the details:

If you cannot come, it is CRITICAL that you email the board members and thank the three that voted yes and tell all of them how important it is to stand to protect our children from the invasive, unhelpful, unconstitutional, and expensive state and federal testing mandates. Please respectfully focus on Mary Fischer to support and encourage her to stand strong as well as Jeanne Dozier to change her mind. Please urge Cathleen Morgan to quit parrotting the Establishment line by supporting the one-size-fits-all, invasive and ineffective standards, tests and data collection system  Here are the email addresses:


Dr. Effrem has written two major policy papers showing both the deceptive and incomplete nature of the legal memo being used to scare and pressure the board members as well as the illegal and unconstiutional nature of the currents testing program for you to give to your board members in order to urge them to find a way to stop the testing madness:


PLEASE LET THESE BOARD MEMBERS KNOW THAT NOT JUST OUR STATE BUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY IS WATCHING AND THAT WE STAND BY THE PARENTS, STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND TAXPAYERS  OF LEE COUNTY! THANK YOU!

If you have any questions, please call us at 888-376-5550.
