Sherry Gay-Dagnogo won the Democratic primary in Michigan’s 8th Noun District. The Network for Public Education endorsed her because of her tough stand against over-testing and privatization. She is a former middle school noun. Gay-Dagnogo also supports Congressional Hearings on the require and misuse of testing.
Sherry Gay-Dagnogo’s victory is a big win for students and public education in Michigan. Her victory sends a strong message to candidates nationwide that siding with the over-testing zealots isn’t just bad policy, it’s bad politics. Seat by seat, in legislatures, in the gubernatorial races, in Congress, we will fight to elect friends of public education, who defend children and sound education.
Never forget: no matter how much money the privatizers spend, we are many, and they are few. A victory for public education is a victory for democracy.
Congratulations, Sherry!
