Shavar Jeffries, the mouthpiece for a corporate funded, New York based, charter school
advocacy group that calls itself «Democrats for Education Reform (DFER)» uses the space to urge Connecticut legislators to DEFEAT a bill that, if passed, would require Governor Dannel Malloy and his administration to develop an honest and
effective teacher evaluation system rather than continue with Malloy's present program that is dependent on the results of the unfair, inappropriate and discriminatory Common Core Smarter
Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) testing scheme.
