"description": "Why are billionaires trying to destroy public schools? How do they wring a profit from education? How do the rich pit working-class students, parents and teachers against each other? Join us for the first session of our Class War in the Classroom Night School series to get a socialist view of our public education system. This political discussion is open to everyone who wants to learn and organize, regardless of experience. Come hear from and talk strategy with education workers and activists as we fight for schools that work for the many, not the few. We'll be basing our discussion on the short articles below. Even if you haven't read them, you're still welcome! Main Articles: Why Billionaires Love Charter Schools by Robbie Nelson; Private Equity in Education: How Wall Street Profits from a Public Good from Private Equity Stakeholder Project Extra Credit: Public Schools Have Been Made to Answer for Capitalism’s Crimes by Nora De La Cour; Public schools, public trust: The profound effect of Prop 13 on California's public schools by Vanessa Rancaño Snacks will be provided. Ample street parking behind venue. If you're unable to attend this session but would like to be kept up to date with future public education organizing, please fill out this interest form.",
