Teachers, parents, students flood Legislature in opposition to tenure bill

TALLAHASSEE — Teachers, parents and even some students are flooding the Legislature with e-mails and phone calls. They're protesting outside lawmakers' offices and organizing a rally today at the Capitol.

Their chief target: legislation that would make it easier to fire teachers and base part of their salaries on test scores....

The online hub of the lobbying effort is a Facebook page called "Stop Senate Bill 6," which has almost 17,000 supporters. Visitors can find information on a dozen upcoming rallies across the state, as well as legislators' contact information.


There are over 30,000 supporters on facebook now.

Thrasher's race was a mud-slinging battle and he's up again this November.
