Here in California, 2006 is an election year. Like the other candidates running for governor, Steve Westly is promising to improve our public school system.
But moving past the expected campaign rhetoric, Westly has taken the bold stand of openly endorsing the use and integration of OpenCourseWare resources and open content textbooks for California schools.
There's a saying in American politics: "As goes California, so goes the nation." Win or lose, Westly's endorsement is important because it will provide a national spotlight for the open education movement.
Very exciting news don't you think?
