Oprah, President Obama and the debut last week of Waiting for Superman have put education in the national spotlight.
To rally the community around improving public education, the League of Education Voters is bringing former NBA star and Mayor of Sacramento Kevin Johnson to Seattle to speak at Mount Zion Baptist Church on October 7 at 7 p.m.
Mayor Johnson will speak to a diverse group of local students, parents and community leaders about how communities can make a difference in their schools and help all students have the opportunity to attend college.

RESEARCH Michelle Rhee’s ongoing
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST machinations, financial gaming the system,
and legal violations —
in Washington, DC and also in Sacramento.
Did you know that every time she brings in a new inexperienced, unqualified “Teach for America” intern that she pays her ex-husband’s organization (he’s the “TFA” Communications Director) a fee of several thousand dollars for each recruit —
which goes toward his salary and he then repays back to her as child support ! –
that’s self-dealing. ======= Investigate the rattling skeletons in both Michelle Rhee’s and Kevin Johnson’s closets, while they’ve been protected from consequences by their big-money financier and corporate backers
[eg. deliberate prevarication, budgetary machinations & financial scandals (including misappropriation of over $400,000 in federal grants), sexual misconduct with
students (teen minors) and staff subordinates, cover-ups and ‘hush money’
deals behind-the-scenes].
