J. Whyatt Mondesire, president of the Philadelphia chapter of the NAACP, and other NAACP officials announced that a statewide rally to preserve funding for public schools will be held in Harrisburg April 26 to fight the $1.1 billion in cuts to public education contained in Corbett's budget. "We reject that plan . . . because it is a violation of the children's right to get a good education," he said.
He said the cuts Corbett has proposed amounted to "attacking public education with a chainsaw."
And in announcing the rally he added: "We're standing at this microphone to make sure that Gov. Corbett and the legislature know that the NAACP is not going to sit still and watch this take place."
