New Video: The Renovation and Heartbreaking Dismantling of the John Ericsson Middle School 126 Library to make way for a Charter School Teacher Lounge

UPDATE: See Steve Krashen piece for Substance:

Charter school in New York kicks public schools kids out of their school library... Educators Need to Know More about Libraries: The Case of JHS 126

This story has been around for over a week but this video is new and a powerful example of the undermining of public education. We'll have more to say about the people running the charter school soon as they have gotten real nasty with critics. And that's being kind (I have the emails and when if are published questions will be raised as to the kinds of people who run charters.) The latest tactic is to try to discredit the library teacher and attack 126 itself as a failing school. Typical charter school invasion tactics. They want the building. Check the resources and volunteerism it took to renovate this library. (I remember the pre-renovated library since I used to go in there to work with the computers.)
