Americans don't take billions of dollars away from school children so billionaires can privatize education to turn a profit. The plan Trump has laid out is a self-fulfilling prophecy; taking away money from school programs that not only support academic growth but promote socio-emotional development will result in failing schools. We need to lift our students up and provide equitable education and opportunity so that school children grow into contributing members of our creative, innovative, and compassionate society.
Why is this important?
I am an educator who is passionate about education, equity, students and families, and the good of our interconnected country.
