Michelle Rhee — former Washington, D.C., public school chancellor; supporter of the tough-on-teachers brand of school reform; founder and CEO of Students First ; and informal adviser to Gov. Rick Scott — supports the DREAM Act. # Rhee wrote this weekend: # One of the reasons I started StudentsFirst is because for too long our educational policies have focused on adults, not kids
“„One of the reasons I started StudentsFirst is because for too long our educational policies have focused on adults, not kids. We need to change that and prioritize the needs of children. We have an opportunity to do that with the DREAM Act, legislation that has been debated in Congress for years and which is gaining new momentum. It would allow people brought here as children to be eligible for in-state tuition and, after having gone to college or served in the military, would put them on a path to legal status. #
