Though not a union, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s Foundation for Educational Excellence supports Co

Labor unions were irrationally opposed to an education reform bill sponsored by Underwood that would have diminished their stranglehold on the country's government-run school system. Under threat of a walk-out, unions apartmentrentals manchester connecticut were able to leverage a posh Washington, DC hotel from hosting the event, forcing Underwood and his wife to get creative in their effort to continue the fundraiser for her organization.
FreedomWorks , an organization with strong ties to the grassroots and Tea Party movement, has worked hard recently to raise awareness to the Obama Administration's Common Core Standard Initiative. This initiative, strongly backed by teachers unions and other organizations,  would erode state and local control apartmentrentals manchester connecticut and further nationalize education standards .
In an effort to raise awareness to the problems with increasing federal government involvement in education, FreedomWorks is planning to assist and provide activist apartmentrentals manchester connecticut training to concerned parents who plan to protest a pro-Common Core conference in Orlando, Florida at the end of this month.
According to TheBlaze, FreedomWorks booked apartmentrentals manchester connecticut rooms and meeting space last week at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes, a hotel located near the pro-Common Core conference,  only to have their reservation canceled and money refunded days later .
The hotel  cited security concerns as the reason for the cancellation , denying any influence from outside groups. Whitney Neal, a former teacher who now works as Director of Grassroots at FreedomWorks, isn't buying that explanation.
When asked about labor union involvement, Neal said, "We know that they have received grants and funding to promote the Obama Administration's initiative and will be participating apartmentrentals manchester connecticut in the pro-Common apartmentrentals manchester connecticut Core conference."
She noted that Florida received $700 million in federal grants, funded via the 2009 stimulus bill, to implement Common Core. Some of those funds were doled out to groups to promote the initiative. For example, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) received a total of $6.3 million to promote Common apartmentrentals manchester connecticut Core.
Though not a union, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's Foundation for Educational Excellence supports Common Core and has received more than $500,000 to promote the initiative. This organization's website is riddled with articles in favor of the initiative apartmentrentals manchester connecticut and occasional jabs at the anti-Common Core crowd.
Neal noted that this sort of backlash is all too familiar. She said that concerned parents and activists have repeatedly been met with heavy resistance when they've tried to engage elected officials about these standards, citing a  recent incident during a local school board meeting  in Florida as an example.
"Activists who oppose Common Core were harassed and threatened with arrest as they passed out literature. apartmentrentals manchester connecticut They were trying to raise awareness to the consequences of Common Core," explained Neal. "They were told they had to leave without explanation."
