Deb Mayer, a member of the PAA Board of Directors and leader of PAA-Oregon, was mentioned in Diane Ravitch’s blog a couple of weeks ago. Diane shared a link to Deb’s article about the vicious attack on a Portland school board member by Stand for Children, which had backed a losing candidate in a recent school board election.

That goes for parents everywhere – don’t be fooled!
And email us (info@parentsacrossamerica.org) if you have stories about Stand for Children. We are working on a few strategies to challenge this behemoth group of astroturfers.
