Message in a bottle to these 2020 Democratic Candidates 4 President

Maybe, it's just me?

Maybe, I'm just not bright enough?

Maybe, I just can't see right?

But, most of these 20 and counting Democrats running for President sound like they'll fine with the education reforms of the past 20 years.

May, it's just me?

Maybe, I'm just not bright enough?

Maybe, I just can't see right?

Maybe these boys and girls need a quick study in

understanding,

That we teachers and parents are not fine with the crap these people supported for 20 years.

Want our vote, get on board, but accept that none of your education reforms were alright with us,

While, Wall Street loved them, we teachers and parents hated them.

Don't fret, my mind is opened,

While you were busy listening to CEOs,

I walked 400 miles twice from CT to DC protesting your reforms,

I joined two United State Department of Education Occupies with United Opt Out,

I'm the kind of not too bright person you might just need to listen to get our votes,

Don't worry, I'm not leaving you out on a ledge,

I'm a teacher,

I have a quick study guide for you.

No more high-stakes testing,

No more school choice without equity,

No more class sizes don't matter,

No more closing local public schools in Black, Brown, and Poor communities.

No more teachers get paid too much talk,

No more teacher pensions are too costly,

No more teacher health care costs are too high,

No more teachers have it easy talk.

No more get rid of recess,

No more poor children need rigor nonsense,

No more poor children need tough love crap,

No, more data walls,

No more blended learning talk,

No more let poor schools compete against each,

No more poor schools need to do more with less foolish talk,

No more computer based intervention programs,

No more, giving CEOs control of our public schools,

No more giving billions of our tax dollars to "For profit entities" to open charter schools,

No more virtual scams schools,

No more voucher scams,

No more accepting campaign contributions from Ed reformers bent on dismantling our public schools,

No more of just about every education reform scam you supported for the past twenty years.

Finally, I want a massive amount of money to help bring back those over 300,000 teachers, many of them teachers of color, your Ed Reforms force out of teaching.

Can't do that, well then you can't have this not bright enough, can't see it "Teacher's Vote!

My message in a bottle,
Jesse The "No More" Teacher

PS: I want those social workers, librarians, counselors, nurses, para-professionals, school custodians, and other specialized staff back as well. Don't even dare ask how will we pay for it?

You can start by taking back that trillion dollar tax gift you gave to our nation's billionaires and millionaires.

Facebook Community Standards and the 2019 True Teacher Education Activist

I decided, to write a Facebook post about the June 10, 2019 the New Haven Public School Advocates call for people to come attend the Board of Education Meeting to speak up against cutting more teachers. Once again, Facebook has decided a Education Activist Literacy Professor is too much to handle. Perhaps, telling parents and teachers to stand up and fight back against these school budget cuts is just too radical for Facebook.
Maybe using the words fight back, is too much for Facebook. Or maybe I tagged the wrong people. Or maybe a Literacy Professor who not only defends his students and teachers in the school house, but outside is too much for Facebook to handle. Either way this True Teacher can't be silence!
I let my reader decide

So connecticut, it is that time of year again, when public schools in Black, Brown, and Poor Communities when cities announced layoffs, school closings, and cut librarians, special education and reading teachers, social workers, and after school programs. Maybe cut a few more art and music teachers. After all poor children don't need smaller class sizes, specialized support staff, or art and music...these things are for our more White schools, our more wealthy schools. Every education reformer know poor kids need test prep, and little else. They are already behind, and they don't have time for frills. Test prep for the poor, and the world for our Wealthy White Public Schools. Give those Black, Brown, and Poor kds that tough love.  

Why, are the cuts always in poor communities?
Because, someone has to pay for this regressive income tax that rewards the wealthy by asking them to pay less, and punishes the poor by demanding they pay more. It's an old scam, hurt the ones who can't fight back, rewards the one who write the big checks to your campaigns.

It's the heart of Systemic Racism. See the truth if if we don't fight back we lose. 
Fight back, New Haven parents
Fight back, New Haven teachers,
Fight back, New Haven students,
If, you don't fight back, you can't win.
Fight BACK, Dr. Jesse P. Turner

Facebook, Here we go again with violating community standards thing

Well, readers once again my Facebook post is under review for possibly violating Facebook Community Standards. What is it that cause this...Perhaps it's because I am saying No More to public education reform policies that are harming our children, their teachers, public schools and communities. Or maybe I did use the word 'Guns," it was in the context of "No More Guns".
Well, who knows, here is post:

 I walked, 400 miles in 2010,
We marched in 2011 with SOS,
We march with BATS multiple times in DC, and
In 2013 and 2014 United Opt Out occupied the United State Department of Education twice.
I walked in 2015,
Rev Barber, Bishop Selders, Barbara Madeloni, SOS, BATS, and UOO Marched on the Lincoln Memorial in 2015 as well.
In 2016 the women marched.
IN 2017, 18, AND 19, teachers walked out in states on the East Coast, West Cost, in the middle, North and South in America,
Isn't it time we all march out!

To my Rank and File sisters and brothers, I have this burning question in between our union business of the day.
AFT and BATs study showed how stress teachers are.
How is it our teacher unions are not organizing a march on Betsey DeVos's United States Department of shame?
Why are our rank and file leaders not organizing marches and occupations of the United States Department of Education?
Why are we not occupying this Secretary of Education, whose says she won't protect all children, but she is fine with money for guns for teachers YEAH?

Come this fall even if I am the only Rank And File Member,
I am walking into that United States Department of Education, Laying this body down in the doorway.
Saying no more:
School choice without equity,
No more high-stakes testing,
No more Charter school scams,
No more Wall Street privatization scams,
No more can't fund wrap around services,
No more closing schools in communities of color,
No more can't fund art, music, librarians, counselors, social workers,
No more, we can't fund real reading specialists and Special Education teachers,
No more we can't give our children, their teachers and schools the resources they need.
No more teachers with guns.

I know who I am,
I know where I stand,
I am not tired,
I am not beaten,
I am leaving,
I am staying,
I am a teacher who knows exactly where I stand.
I stand with our public school children whose voices have been silence,
I stand with parents of color, who are not asking for more, Only asking for the same resources America has always given the rich White kids get in their public schools.
I stand with our older and younger teachers who are being humiliated and push out of our profession.,
not because they can't teach,
But because they can't be quiet.

Who Am I?
I am Jesse The Walking Man Turner, re-framing myself.
Form now on I call me the NO MORE MAN,
A No More Man, ready to occupy that house of shame 'The United States Department of Education.
Come this fall expect, this No More Man to show up at Betsey's House of Shame,

Looking for 12, "No More" Activists,
But, I can go it alone.
If need be, because,
I am The No More Man!

Respectfully,
Dr. Jesse. P. Turner
