Ethan Rediske Bill Awareness Day

Start: Friday, February 21, 2014 8:00 AM

Who is Ethan Rediske?
Ethan was a severely disabled child, who recently passed away. Even as he was in hospice care, his teacher was being pressured to administer Florida’s mandatory high stakes tests.
Show your support for Ethan and for all children of Florida by changing your profile picture with Ethan's picture this Friday. Raise awareness about how unfair these testing mandates are. Show Florida legislators that there will be support behind legislative actions that give parents the unquestionable right to opt their children out of high stakes testing.

In the words of Ethan's mom, Andrea Rediske:

“(WE) call on the Florida legislature… to pass the Ethan Rediske Act, which would exempt disabled children from the rigors of high-stakes standardized testing, and (we) implore the legislature to go further and to enact legislation that allows any student, who experiences pain and suffering as a result of high-stakes standardized testing, to opt out of these tests.
