Earlier this week, I drew attention to a petition to remove Department of Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman from his position. I didn't mention it before, but be careful on change.org - only sign the petition you intended to sign. A number of people have found that they signed seemingly-innocuous petitions in favor of changes in public education, only to find that they are now counted as members in Michelle Rhee's astro-turf organization, with no way to get off of her "list".
Now, a few days later, there's also a Facebook page where Tennesseans are airing their grievances on Commissioner Huffman's experimental policies.
UPDATE: There are TWO facebook pages mobilizing against Commissioner Huffman:
https://www.facebook.com/RemoveKevinHuffman?fref=ts
https://www.facebook.com/TdoeCommissionerKevinHuffmanHasToGo
And they are showing up as a sponsored ad and sponsored page in my facebook feed. Interesting - someone's putting some money into this thing.
Is this thing gathering a head of steam? Even if it did, is Governor Haslam engaged enough to care?
Let's at least make him notice.
