Hi TAG,

Here's a link to a trailer for a response movie that the Grassroots Education 
Movement (GEM) and others in NYC are working on: 
http://www.waitingforsupermantruth.org/
and a great critique by rick ayers was posted on huffington:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rick-ayers-/an-inconvenient-superman-_b_716420.html

my favorite part: "In the hands of these so-called reformers, though, the only 
goal is to train urban students to be obedient followers; they never propose a 
project that transforms and empowers communities, only holding out the promise 
for a few exceptional students to escape the ghetto. You can see white middle 
class audience members sighing, comforted to know that everyone really wants to 
be like us; that everyone who is not like us is tragic. The film bubbles over 
with terms like escape and rescue, promoting a liberal charity mentality that 
is never in solidarity the local community, only regards it as something 
dysfunctional that needs to be controlled."
 

Definitely get this out there to share with your networks!
