Crisis in Education: The Socialist Alternative
Fight the Budget Cuts! Win Reforms not Deforms, Education for Liberation
Dates:
Wednesday, May 27th 2009 - 4:30 pm
Thursday, May 28th 2009 - 7 pm
United Teachers Los Angeles Building*
3303 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles 90010
Guest Speaker Sarah Knopp, U.T.L.A. activist and author of Charter Schools and the Attack on Public Education - www.isreview.org/issues/62/feat-charters chools.shtml
Can we win this fight against the budget cuts? Where will we get enough power? And why do social justice activists defend public education anyway, if it's a means of socializing kids into the dominant ideas in our society, and teaching obedience?
What kind of schools do we want for our kids and teachers? Can charter schools provide the answers? What does "education for liberation mean?" What would education look like in a socialist society? Can we ever get there?
