Sonya Jones, the interviwee this evening, has penned a post about how the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI), a Dallas non-profit group, was prepared to grant Seattle schools $13,700,000.00 to assist Advanced Placement programs in math and science, allowing students to earn college credit while still in high school up until Washington’s Union Laws interfered.

UPDATE: Sonya Jones has an Op Ed appearing in today’s Columbian, Union’s stance hurts teachers, students.

When do we stand up and take the education of our children away from the Teachers Union?
