There is a reason we need to talk about public education when we look for solutions to this health care mess

Public education is being undermined with exorbitant charges for everything from books to music and sports and school lunches and after-school programs.


Big business profiteers are undermining public education along with the bankers who keep our public schools in constant debt.


Every year the list of what students and parents need to pay for grows by leaps and bounds; this is unconscionable.


Public education should be free; and free from fees for books or school lunches or anything else.


School boards are dominated by real estate and other business interests who see public programs like education as a threat except when they can scheme and scam to make a profit.


The entire purpose of public education is being undermined by the likes of the John Bircher Betsy De Vos, Trump’s Secretary of Education.


Pre-school through university should be completely free, paid for by general revenue funds.


It will be a great day when the generals have to hold bake-good sales and public education is financed with a Peace Dividend.


The right wing believes it is only necessary to provide a limited amount of education for working people... just enough education to enable workers to be employed at their poverty waged jobs.


The intent of Wall Street is to eliminate public education... in the meantime these Wall Street investors will continue to undermine our system of public education so people lose confidence in public education so people will not defend public education.


The filthy rich are so arrogant they truly believe only their children are worthy of receiving an education.


Wall Street wants to return to private for-profit market-driven public education... their model for education is based on their private for-profit market-driven health care system.


No universal social program works better than public education when it is properly funded and properly administered and delivered by caring and concerned teachers and educational workers with empathy for our youth.


Public education...

Publicly funded.


Publicly administered.


Publicly delivered.

We need to build a National Public Health Care System around the model of public education.


Defend public education...


Advocate for a National Public Health Care System.


Advocate for a National Public Child Care System.


Pay for it all with a Peace Dividend and get the greedy fingers of big business, real estate developers, construction firms, book publishers and the banks out of the public till.
