Democrats for Education Reform

Want proof the education reform movement is a non-partisan issue? Just look at the national organization, Democrats for Education Reform. This is a national political action committee, based in new York City "whose mission is to encourage a more productive dialogue within the Democratic Party on the need to fundamentally reform American public education. DFER operates on all levels of government to educate elected officials and support reform-minded candidates for public office."
They have just named Rodney Hubbard, Missouri State Representative (D-58th District, MO), the first Midwest Regional Director. It has been with people like Hubbard, Missouri has seen education reform as a social issue that needs to be corrected in order for children around the state to get the education they need. Hubbard's devotion to the children of St. Louis and the rest of Missouri has been seen. Now the entire Midwest region can hopefully benefit from the passion of Rodney Hubbard.
Hopefully, legislators will listen with their hearts and allow reforms in education to take place.
