When Public Education is under attack, what do we do? Stand up and fight back! Pull up to the next ANSWER meeting to plan our next steps in the fight back.
Hear from experts on the Public Education struggle: from an Indiana State Teachers Union representative, students, and parents, as they educate us on the local, national, and international attacks on our children. Engage in dialogue to voice not only your concerns and anger about the state of our education system, but also meet others who want to make a change.
Many Americans do not know that the Constitution does not make education a right. However, the 14th amendment does require states with existing public school systems to guarantee equal access to public education for all. In fact, it was formerly enslaved Africans in this country who won the right for everyone to receive a public education during the Reconstruction era of the 1860’s.
The Trump administration is waging a racist war on our public education system by taking the money from public schools to put into charter schools and private school voucher programs. Trump and his posse of billionaire cronies have disguised this war on education by calling it “school choice,” but the policies Trump is planning to implement and the people he is appointing to implement them, like billionaire Linda McMahon, show that his real agenda is redistribution of even more wealth from the bottom to the top. To ensure that the small number of millionaires and billionaires can tighten their control over us by constricting our children’s access to education.
Whether you’re a concerned parent or just someone who’s interested in becoming more involved in local struggles, show up this Tuesday to join the fight against this undemocratic War on Education.
Join the movement to end war and stop racism today!
