The Davenport superintendent is showing courage and leadership through civil disobedience, taking a stand against those who are attempting to dismantle public education, namely Republicans and the Branstad administration.  The real crime is what the Republicans are doing.

“As you know my local superintendent has announced that he will disobey the law rather than make more than $3 million dollars in cuts to our local schools… I talked with three school board members who could go to jail if they approve that recommendation and they’re hanging tough. They told me that if they have to make a choice between doing the dirty work of lowering quality education, cutting opportunities, lowering the expectations of our students, or going to jail, they will choose jail..”

Watch Senator Chris Brase stand up for kids and schools.. “We need to send a message to our kids that they are not worth-less.”
