Parent Revolution is an astro-turfing organization backed by the charter companies. It isn’t actually interested in anything other than making money for its sponsors.

Parent Revolution, the nonprofit organization backing the latest CA parent trigger petition in Adelanto, needs to apply some common sense. They had parents sign two different petitions and submitted the least favored one to the district. They call it strategy to get district to negotiate. State Senator Gloria Romero, the author of the parent trigger law, initially called their two petition strategy a dubious strategic choice. No wonder parents rescinded their signatures. You only need one petition at the ready to threaten a district to negotiate under the parent trigger law – not two. How does having parents sign two different petitions and submit the least favored choice a strategy to convince a district to negotiate? I’m in favor of parent empowerment and that argument sounds dubious to me too.

This will get settled in court and the parents can stop complaining about how oppressed they are by the mean big teachers’ unions.
