The amazing people at Badass Teachers Association put together an excellent Twitter campaign featuring notable public school graduates. Some examples:

To make something like this go viral, though, will take thousands more contributions.
So, I threw together an app that will let people add their face to the image and post it to their favorite social media.
The #PublicSchoolSuccess App
Step 1: Go to adamlabay.net/fbtag/uploader.html
Step 2: Upload a picture of your face.
Step 3: Save the resulting image.
Step 4: Tweet it to @BetsyDeVos and make sure to use the hashtag #PublicSchoolSuccess. If you have the space, copy @BadassTeachersA as well.
Step 5: Spread the gospel.
The Code
To be clear, I did pitifully little to create this. All the grunt work was done by Shane Chism and I just tweaked the code. That said, if you want the gory details, I’ll post them shortly.
