  Mr. Huppenthal,
  Please disclose your next political move. You and your family have ZERO public school experience...it would be great to know why you are using this office for political positioning.

  Please stop telling teachers what we need...and ASK.

  Teachers need student debt relief for continuing training and education. Plain and simple.

  Teachers don't teach for the money, or for fancy systems. But teachers DO need support. You could be a great help by spreading that message to the Republican bureaucrats who run this state.

  John Huppenthal, please stop your lies. I've written letters where I criticized your opposition to full day kindergarten calling it "daycare" before you flip-flopped and voted for it in a political deal. I've written letters where I criticized your support of public money for private schools. I've even written letters pointing out that you have never taught a kid, or supervised a school, and the fact that you are Superintendent of Public Instruction is a sham. But I have never written a letter criticizing charter schools, and I challenge you to find one. If you find one I will publicly apologize to you in a letter to the AFN, and if you don't find one, I expect you to do the same. I am a man of my word, are you?

  Huppenthal supports charter schools? Mr. Huppenthal, we're not ignorant.

  We know that on average, charter schools do not perform any better than public schools. Look it up. The studies have been around for years.

  We know that our tax dollars go to charter schools, and that many of those schools are run for profit.

  I'm all for paying my fair share, but my tax money should only be used for its intended purpose, the end. If there's money leftover from educating kids and it doesn't either go back to the taxpayer or back into the schools, that's called SOCIALISM.

  Redistribution of wealth is redistribution of wealth, wether you call it profit or welfare.

  I'm surprised the Tea Party folks aren't camped outside this guys office 24/7.
