    March 29, 2013

      Testing ZombiesHow is a standardized test like a zombie?
      They’re mindless, and they just keep coming.

      It’s time to fight high-stakes standardized tests!

      Join the undead for a rally at the Government Center Plaza, 600 E 4th St, Charlotte, NC 28202 before the Board of Education meeting.

      Come anytime between 4-6:30 pm. Wear your best zombie attire. We will have zombie makeup available.

      RSVP at our Facebook event. Help spread the work by using the zombie image for your Facebook profile picture.
