Videos of our press conference Sunday

Some raw video below of Sunday's press conference on SED's decision to provide confidential student and teacher data with the Gates-funded, Wireless Generation-operated limited corporation called the "Shared Learning Collaborative",which in turns intends to make this data available to companies to develop and market commercial learning products. More on this here and here.

Don't know if you saw this, but it underscores why the state must not be allowed to do the Wireless Generation/Gates Foundation data deal, even if it's only as part of a multi-state consortium.

Rupert Murdoch has not learned humility or perspective from the hacking scandal. He called the victims who were hacked by News Corporation employees "scumbags" this past weekend.

Here are two Guardian links:

This is not a man or a company that can be trusted with confidential student data.
