Who benefits from the FALSE NARRATIVE that schools are FAILING students? Dr. P.L. Thomas shares the truth behind the "Manufactured Crisis in Public Education."

It's about political gain, making $$$ in the education marketplace, and pushing kids out of PUBLIC schools.

Thousands of educators, parents, students, and community allies rallied at the Capitol today to demand fully funded public schools. Colorado has underfunded public schools by $4 billion. Our students deserve fair, equitable, full funding. @npeaction.bsky.social @carolburris.bsky.social

Contact Your Members of Congress to Protect Public Schools!
Although marketed as “choice” for parents, the ECCA bill would actually create the first ever nationalized voucher program and redirect billions of taxpayer dollars away from our public schools.
