DESCRIPTION:
The Militant Labor Forum presents:

Repeal the high school exit exam!

This year, for the first time, youth who meet all other requirements to graduate from high school are being denied a diploma if they do not pass a state ?exit exam.? This law disproportionately hits young people of oppressed nationalities. In 2002 the passing rate on this exam was 28 percent for students who are Black and 30 percent for Latinos, compared to 65 percent for students classified as ?white? and 70 percent for Asian youth. The fact that there are only 96 Black students in this year?s freshman class at UCLA underlines the racist discrimination that continues today.


The Socialist Workers Party candidates in California are demanding, ?End the denial of diplomas to tens of thousands of high school students. Repeal the exit exam legislation.? The SWP campaign platform also includes the demand to ?defend and extend affirmative action in employment, education, and housing? to combat the continued racist discrimination that is endemic to capitalist society.


Come discuss these issues as well as a working-class approach to education ? the fight for the transformation of learning into a universal and lifetime activity.

Speaker: Michael Ortega,

Socialist Workers candidate

for U.S. Congress, District 35
