The Regents should reject the draft Social Studies Framework which requires boring survey courses of an impossibly long and vague list of "conceptual understandings."

If the Regents don't reject the draft we will reject the Regents & work together with teachers, students, families, and experts to make our own framework based on powerful questions, deep understandings, and authentic civic engagement. [Everyone encouraged to sign - no job or geographic requirements!]
