• Petition to Invite God to School
    The purpose of this petition is to restore America's schools back to being the world's leader in educating our children. At this point in time we cannot succeed without God's help. We must stop being hypocritical by proclaiming, "In God We Trust" but not trusting Him with the fundamental institution which is the foundation of our great society. Until we rely on God's power our schools (and our society) mores will continue to detriorate.

  • Give Private Loans an Income Based Repayment Option
    In 2009, the Obama administration passed a law allowing Federal Student loans to be repaid via an income-based plan. It was a great step forward. Unfortunately, private lenders are still able to charge ridiculous interest rates and offer only fixed monthly payment plans on private loans. With the recession on, the job market has changed; private lenders should change their repayment options as well.

  • DOE should give back parents association money
    The New York City Department of Education froze the parents association's funds at Public School 184M, the Shuang Wen School, in Lower Manhattan, without clear explanation when and how the funds would be un-frozen. It's the DOE tyranny at play again at one of the best schools in the city. It's anti-community, anti-parents and anti-Chinese. Please tell DOE to give us back the money!!

  • Opt Out Tennessee
    To support students, parents, and teachers alike, we need to let our state representatives know that the use of high stakes testing is damaging children, teachers, schools and communities. Standardized tests have failed to produce real reform; too much time is taken away from our students' learning in lieu of test preparation and practice, which narrows the curriculum and dissuades any intrinsic desire to learn.

  • Save the St. Mark's Bookshop
    The St. Mark's Bookshop has a long tradition in the Lower East Side and serves an admirable and increasingly rare function. St. Mark's is struggling to pay the market rent that Cooper Union is charging them at 31 3rd Ave. A significant rent concession by Cooper Union could save this irreplaceable neighborhood institution.
