Is Kasich getting pointers from Scott Walker?

Parents, educators, and students should worry if Ohio Gov. John Kasich is following an outline of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's plans.  Here are some items that Walker plans to cut in education:

JS Online:

• Cut $834 million in state K-12 education spending over the next two years....

• Require that charter school teachers need only a bachelor's degree to teach, rather than a teacher's license.

• Remove mandates that school districts employ reading specialists and only licensed nurses with bachelor's degrees; prepare indoor environmental quality plans; and require training on drug administration to be approved by the state Department of Public Instruction....

Kasich will be following a similar agenda.  Stand up against the Republicans and their attacks on teachers, firefighters, police officers, nurses, corrections officers, and all public employees.
