Educational Humor at its best!

                                Wonderful lyrics that will make any teacher laugh!

Oh my!

                                After hearing excerpts on the CD Baby website I bought two copies, one for me and one for a friend.  There are some songs on this CD that caused me to laugh so hard I nearly had to pull my car over.  Thanks for bringing some levity to this crazy time period in educational history!

I use this marvelous protest music to inspire aspiring teachers.

                                I use the music on this inspiring CD as a point of departure in my presentations to classes of parents and aspiring teachers.  So many people approach me after presentations wanting to know more about the music, and more about the movement.  I have even translated one of the songs, "What did you learn in school today," into Spanish, have read it at a poetry forum, and it appears on our website at www.thecbe.org

                                Great response to the most horrible federal take over of an American and local institution ever. We are the wimps they have taken us for if we don't stand up for our children. I would like to gather all those who wrote it and those who are listening to it and make a grand march on Washington. We shall over come comes to mind.email me if you want to go.margarettmartin@rdrive3,com
