PARENTS "Won’t Back Down"

FROM FIGHTING THE CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF OUR SCHOOLS!

The film “Won’t Back Down” is backed by conservative billionaires Rupert Murdoch and Philip Anschtuz. The law portrayed in the movie, called parent trigger, claims to be about parent empowerment but actually promotes the privatization of public schools and blaming teachers for struggling schools. The movie claims to be 'inspired by actual events' but not a single school in the country has successfully used Parent Trigger. 

This Sunday, at the red carpet world premiere of the movie, JOIN us in showing Hollywood & the paparazzi the REAL parents who "won't back down."

=> Sunday at 4:30pm

Ziegfeld Theatre

Maggie Gyllanhaal 15,000,000

Viola Davis 3,000,000

Holly Hunter 14,000,000

Two rich people who play poor people, on the big screen, who are helping a couple of billionaire's attempts to change the flow of public money into billionaire pockets.

The Ones who are bankrolling the movie. They've spent so much time in the inner city schools that they just have love for the underprivileged students. Either that or they're hoping to get their hands on the public money and their other businesses or hoping to get a cut of the education money

Rupert Murdoch 8,300,000,000

Philip Anschtuz 7,000,000,000 (34 richest man in the world)

Either that or maybe they can give up all their acting gigs and their business deals and take a job as a first year teacher in New York. They can show their great care. They will have to take a huge pay cut and might have to cut back their lifestyle a little.
