My appearance on The Ed Show last night, with Michael Eric Dyson, talking about how all the 36 co-locations will hurt NYC public school children. Below that is Brian Jones' appearance on Chris Hayes show later that evening.

The underlying issues in the Chicago teacher strike according to Julie Cavanagh and Matt Farmer
See video excerpts from "Up with Chris" this morning, MSNBC's show on the Chicago teacher strike. Here are NYC teacher Julie Cavanagh and Chicago parent Matt Farmer talking about how this is a "defining moment" in the fight against privatization and corporate education reform, and how the Chicago struggle is really about whether poverty and the highly inequitable conditions in our public schools must be addressed. Clips from the rest of the show can be found here.

Sign the petition in support of the NAACP, and MSBNC video
Check out the General Counsel of the NAACP Kim Keenan on MSNBC on June 6th, explaining the inequities in NYC public schools and why the NAACP has filed a lawsuit against the unfair charter school co-locations.
Then sign the petition supporting the NAACP and their insistence that all children be provided with an equitable chance to learn. The way the co-locations have been handled in NYC is shocking; with charter kids receiving preferential treatment at every turn.
In general, the co-locations have been a disaster, given our chronic overcrowding, with class sizes rising and children losing access to art rooms, libraries and gyms. Our special needs students have been treated the worst, often pushed into hallways and closets. Go sign the petition now!
