[mgj-discuss] Protest Fenty's School Take-Over Plan!

[Catherine Benedict]

*_Protest Fenty’s School Take-Over Plan! _*

/ /

/Adrian Fenty is meeting with businessmen, other mayors, and non-profit 
corporations in his drive to take over our public school system.* But he 
isn't meeting with the citizens of DC.* A take-over will undermine 
community in-put and *create instability and uncertainty. It may even 
jeopardize the $3 billion modernization money promised to DCPS last 
spring.*/

Tell Adrian: "NO TAKE-OVER"

· *_WRITE IN JULIUS HOBSON_** FOR MAYOR ON NOV. 7*

/Civil rights activist, grass-roots organizer, and die-hard advocate of 
real home rule, Julius Hobson (1922-1977) also served on a 
democratically elected Board of Education and fought for a truly level 
playing field for public school students. Say no to running our schools 
like businesses! Say no to an appointed Board of Education that would 
rubber-stamp mayoral decisions! Write in Hobson on Nov. 7!!/
