My list of shame! We should know their names, 2016 No justice, No Votes!

-->

My list of shame ESSA Congress and Senate Yea votes. Yea votes equal can’t get my vote. No Justice, No Votes!

On January 8, 2002 President Bush with overwhelming bipartisan from both political parties votes to make No Child Left Behind that promised High Stakes testing in grades 3 to 8 and once in high school, would raise test scores, and have every child reading writing, and doing math at grade level.  5089 days later all children are not reading at grade level. Actually our high school students have not perform this poorly on the SAT in nearly four decades. 5089 days of pain and suffering with no results, and what did Washington DC decide to do?
On December 15, 2015?
A new president with overwhelming bipartisan from both political parties sign into law “Every Student Succeeds Act” ensuring that high stakes testing the accountability focus of their legislation.

Switching the testing hammer from the Feds to the States continues the reign of testing pain and suffering. It doesn't change anything in my humble opinion. Come election not one Yea vote for ESSA will get my vote. I know a sell out when I see, and ESSA is a sell out of America's children, teachers, and local public schools.
Silence and apathy are not acceptable, and neither is voting party lines for elected officials who have sold out our children,
Jesse The Walking Man Turner

Just in case you stood around to the very end, and are wondering what song this Walking Man listened to on his walk today...it Bruce Springsteen's " I'm on Fire" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJQgwqojirs
