Guys, this is a long-standing problem that I look forward to addressing at our meeting on Wednesday. There needs to be a better system because a number of times now, I have asked for specific things in a video, and what I get back is some reinterpretation that doesn’t work for the comms staff.

A)     Common Core is a political third rail that we should not be touching at all. Get rid of it.

B)      Most people want local control of education so having Cruz and Trump saying it on a DNC video is counterproductive. Would get rid of any references to that.

C)      We wanted Christie in there bc he’s a trump surrogate / could be trump VP / most anti-teacher guy out there. He’s yelled at pretty much everyone, there HAS to be video of him yelling at teachers and looking like a bully

D)     Need Cruz saying dept of ed should be abolished. If you can’t find it – use this<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQFrEknrumI> from AFP summit: “The department of Education – which should be abolished”

Thanks
