Let's Support Mercedes Schneider
Donation protected
Dr. Mercedes Schneider is one of the best investigative researchers uncovering the corruption of the corporate privatization movement that is destroying public education. Her blog is 2 years old today! Let's give her a wonderful birthday present from all of us who read her blog religiously https://deutsch29.wordpress.com/
Mercedes is a public school teacher who speaks out for public schools but so far she has not been paid for her numerous speaking engagements (other than expenses). A Chronicle of Echoes is on its way to being a landmark book, but Mercedes does not see a dime until a year has passed.
A Chronicle of Echoes has been a fabulous who's who in the corporate-education movement but it did receive one suggestion. We want an index! She has way too much information for us mere mortals to sift through. So her new book on the Common Core State Standards is aching to have an index. Unfortunately, indexes cost money . . .
And so does permission to use other people's work. Mercedes has not shied away from using Bill Gate's own words to illustrate his true intentions, but to quote him from the Washington Post interview costs money too . . .
So here is what I am hoping you can help fund:
One more year of Mercedes blog- $99
Permission to use Washington Post interview- $784
Index for new book- approximately $800
I know many of you were generous before and helped me to fund Mercedes a subscription to a database (we raised the $350 needed in just a few hours). She really appreciated it! Mercedes was too humble to ask for help then and I know she is uncomfortable asking now. But she will not be able to pay these expenses while she is waiting for future speaking fees, book royalties and potential funding.
So I would like to support her again. I am going to send her the costs of her blog, but who wants to help me with all the rest? If you can spare a few dollars it would mean a lot to Mercedes and to those of us who depend on her work. Let’s give her blog the best birthday present ever!
