But we know this is not a struggle for the faint of heart. Wresting power from established organizations will never come easily. Nothing precious comes easily. So we are ready. What makes public education public is that it operates in the public interest, and having 28 percent completion rates for black children is not in the public interest.
Public education is no more the existing system than any single church is religion.
We don't want to destroy pubic education, we want to strengthen it by redefining it. Our enemies are the people who would maintain control of our kids and not educate them. I don't think so. The only people getting together there is us.
