The race is on to drive in as many post cards as possible and end the “Coal Curriculum.” With DCEO funding a free curriculum for teachers in Illinois to teach kids about the wonders of coal, colleges and universities around the state have sprung into action. Having printed out hundreds of post cards created by the Heartland Coalfield Alliance, students are trying to get as many signed as possible before Christmas time (Dec. 15) and sent off to Governor Quinn.

Here is the most recent update:

School Goal To Date Actual
Northeast Illinois University 200 15
DePaul University 250 50
Northwestern University 200 210
University of Chicago 200 132
Illinois Wesleyan 100 TBA
Oakton  Community College 250 TBA
SIU- Carbondale 250 TBA

Keep up the good work and keep on signing! For more info on the coal curriculum see our initiatives page: http://greenstudents.org/?page_id=1733
