t r u t h o u t | A battle is being fought over how to teach America's chil=
dren. In Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Seattle and beyond, corporate education=
"reformers" are pushing to privatize schools, strip teachers of their righ=
ts at work and make high-stakes testing the focus of education.
In my city of Chicago, over 50 schools have just been scheduled for closure=
- mostly in underprivileged neighborhoods - while officials have tried to =
censor what books are taught in class.
But here's some good news: Parents, teachers and - most excitingly of all -=
students are coming together to fight back. Across the country, more and m=
ore people have realized that this kind of education "reform" is incompatib=
le with progressive values, doesn't teach children how to think - and just =
plain doesn't work.
Attitudes are changing because of the work done to counter corporate propag=
anda, and I'm proud that Truthout has been a part of that work. By donating=
to Truthout, you can ensure that we continue to publish better ideas about=
education and about our society's future.
