Ackerman, when asked about infusing the course into District's curriculum, stated she didn't know anything about it - Dr. Robinson responded, They gave me $57,000 to write it! How you not going to know about a $57,000 contract paid to a black man! Ain't no way the world. She should've found out about it! Senator LeAnna Washington, who stood with Senator Stark and other Pennsylvania State Senators back in August of '11 to introduce Senate Bill 1210, which would demolish the SRC (School Reform Commission) and replace it with a nine (9) member elected school board, told Ackerman You need to find out about it! Our children's lives' depend on it.
