MKF - Civil Rights Groups: "We Oppose Anti-Testing Efforts" (5/11/15)

6/19/2015

 
Last week, a pretty amazing letter was issued by 12 significant Civil Rights Group regarding the PARCC test.

While Montclair Kids First respects a parent’s individual choice regarding PARCC, we do believe it is important that decisions are based on the facts and not on misleading rhetoric or political agendas.

Over the course of the last few months, we have witnessed a number of false claims by a select group of parents in Montclair regarding the PARCC test.  

When it comes to issues of civil rights, we are much more inclined to follow the collective opinion of: 

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, The American Association of University Women (AAUW), Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD), Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates, Inc. (COPAA), Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF), League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), NAACP, National Council of La Raza (NCLR), National Disability Rights Network (NDRN), National Urban League (NUL), Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC), and TASH

We hope you will read the following letter and please share with your friends and neighbors.  

Thank you,

MKF
