CT Parent Will File lawsuit Opposing AFT Appointee To State Board of Education
“Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).” Ayn Rand
WHO: In a morning press conference, Meriden parent Gwen Samuel will announce the filing of a lawsuit opposing Governor Dannel P. Malloy’s State Board of Education appointment of Erin D. Benham, President of the Meriden Federation of Teachers and Executive Committee Vice President of the Connecticut American Federation of Teachers.
WHEN: 11:00 a.m., Friday, August 22, 2014
WHERE: Hartford Superior Court, 90 Washington Street, Hartford Connecticut
WHAT: Samuel cites some reasons for the lawsuit as being: 1) Unequal parent and other education stakeholder representation at State Board of Education level ; 2) Undue influence and power over State Board of Education process because of Connecticut American Federation of Teacher membership of 29,000 and unlimited resource access to national AFT base membership of 850,000; 3) AFT Connecticut has a documented history of publicly opposing parent empowerment law efforts such as holding national training with language such as “Kill Mode” http://rishawnbiddle.org/outsidereports/aft_parentpower_guide.pdf ; 4) AFT PAC endorsed Governor Dannel P. Malloy June of 2014 concerns of quid pro quo ; and 5) potential Conflict of interest because of financial gains by virtue of being a public employee. The lawsuit will also ask for Injunctive Relief to halt the appointment process
WHY: Samuel wants to ensure that her parent Constitutional, statutory, civil, common law, due process and equal protection rights to the upbringing and education of her children are not violated as a result of this Governor appointment while she strives to ensure her kids gain equitable access to safe and high quality educational opportunities with appropriate fiscal and personnel oversight. Samuel stresses that parents understand fully that an effective teacher is the most important person in front of the classroom and a critical part of the education process but they are not the whole solution. This is not about invalidating the important role of effective teachers. This is about constitutional rights being protected and equal representation for all education stakeholders at the State Board of Education level.
