Academic freedom, collective bargaining, peer review, and tenure are crucial to the life and vitality of a profession where character, citizenship, critical thinking, ideas, inquiry, and reason are the essence of the teaching. The profession had to fight for those values before, and it will have to do so again.

Here's a good article on the ongoing program by ALEC, DeVos, Koch, et al. to destroy public education:

Mr. Lennon,
The official ALEC website has sections that are public and sections that only registered members — corporate sponsors (who pay a lot) and legislators (who pay a token fee) — can read. There are also lots of PDF brochures that anyone can download to get a hint of their agenda.
There are many sites on the open web and Facebook that are collecting and indexing the available data. I'll go dig up the web links that I haven't used in a while, but here's a couple of handy Facebook pages that I have on the tip of my browser:
Democracy Watchdog Action Network
• http://www.facebook.com/democracy.watchdog.action.network
Support Bill Cronon
• http://www.facebook.com/pages/Support-Bill-Cronon/163419837045434
Bill Cronon is a history professor who came under attack when he wrote an article about ALEC and the Mackinac Center, so the people who came to his defense began collecting data about these issues.
There exists already a rather large and gangly mass of information to wade through by yourself, but the folks who manage or frequent those pages should be able to tell you what they know about any specific questions you might have.

Re: Groundhog Day
One of my all-time favorite movies !
As I recall — if you'll excuse the expression — it was about a guy who didn't care about much of anything at all, except maybe himself, but after many, many, many tries he finally learned to care about others.
Speaking of teaching, there's a lesson in that …
