In case you missed it: StudentsFirst dodges parent activists at the DNC

If you haven’t read it already, check out Parents Across America’s encounter with StudentsFirst at their screening of “Won’t Back Down” in Charlotte.  StudentsFirst staff invite protesting parents in to the screening, only to give them the slip at a security checkpoint (one attendee emails: “they practically did a DNA swab to check identities” at the door).
Also, North Carolina Policy Watch reports that StudentsFirst could soon be bringing their roadshow to North Carolina.  Naturally, they spoke with the head of the N.C. Public Charter Schools Association.  He already sounds giddy over his possible windfall.
