The saga of Carl Chew is important.

Here's Jerry Bracey's account on Huffington Post:
http://susanohanian.org/show_nclb_outrages.html?id=3375

I'm posting the url for where Jerry's piece appears on my site because I hope you'll also read the other accounts of Carl's action, for which I've added hot links.

As Carl says, he doesn't want people to send money to him--to replace his lost wages. He wants people to donate to the activist organization of their choice. I hope you will do that.

I'd be happy to keep track--and send Carl the list. Just let me know what you've done.

Here's the advice Carl's daughter gave him:
When I first decided to refuse giving the WASL my 14 year-old daughter spoke to me. "Yay, my revolutionary papa! But remember, no one should try to do something like this in a vacuum. Rosa Parks did not just sit on that bus by herself. She had hundreds if not thousands of people backing her up and giving her courage. Go out and let people know what you are doing so you don't feel alone."


We should let Carl know that we're listening!! Donate to a resistance organization in his name.

Susan
