I am one of 3 national leaders working to repeal ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) and restore FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) that was gutted by the Obama administration with no vote from Congress which now makes our children's personal data fair game for 3rd party contractors.
We did a national Press Release on Sept. 20, 2017 and had 2 live Press Conferences (IN and TX). We have 23 state coordinators and we are trying to get the attention of our President in the hopes he will sit down and view the proof we have the ESSA is not an education bill, it does not repeal Common Core and it does not restore state/local control of education. So what is ESSA? It is mental health bill not an education bill. I think what just took place in the Texas school district clearly illustrates this. A family had all their children assessed for mental health in 3 different schools, without the parents knowledge and all 3 were diagnosed (by a computer) that their children had mental health issues. These children are straight A students, in athletics, have plenty of friends and have never been in trouble. Now they are tagged with mental failings. This is what they want to do to all of our children. What happens when parents push back on these diagnoses? I think you can figure that one out on your own.
Can you please share this action item with your email list? It is my hope they would be willing to take 3 minutes of their time and send the pre-written message to President Trump. Everything they need is at their finger tips.
