It would appear that Education Minnesota's "Schools First!" campaign didn't resonate. But the next wave is coming, as Swiftee and others have noted. "Education Funding Reform" is the new catch-phrase, and this time there's no deception on what they really want: more unaccountable money.

The front group is P.S. Minnesota, a "non-partisan coalition of Minnesota education and parent groups united to advocate for adequate and sustainable public education funding" per their web site. Not an educator? Not a parent? You're not welcome, just your paycheck. By the way, non-partisan means 3:1 DFL vs. RINO.

This caught my eye on their web site:

"We know how much it costs to educate Minnesota’s children to today’s achievement standards. We also know how much it will cost to educate our children to tomorrow’s standards."

Finally, someone can answer the question of how much is enough, now and in the future! Oh who am I kidding? It will be a formula containing variables like "average teacher pay" to keep it unaccountable and demographic indexes to keep Minneapolis and St. Paul at twice the average.

This is an interesting site as you'll see in future posts.
