I learned about it as a kid at my public Chicago school, but it took resources: textbooks, novels, field trips. I even had the privilege to see a play recounting one family's attempts to escape. Public school systems around the country are under attack by the people in positions of authority. Neoliberal Democrats and Evangelical Republicans have allied in a fight to privatize and strip resources away from the public school system. Public school teachers in the most neglected states have finally had enough, and are rising up and striking for better conditions for themselves and their students. It's worth it, to make sure we remember to never repeat the horrors of our past. http://kfor.com/2018/04/03/these-crumbling-textbooks-show-why-oklahoma-teachers-are-walking-out/ http://kfor.com/2018/04/03/these-crumbling-textbooks-show-wh...
