Build schools, not jails! Fund education, not wars! We are the 99%!

Occupy Oakland's Education Committee has called on educators in the Bay Area and around the world to participate in a week of teach-ins about this movement.

During the Week of 10/31-11/4, I pledge to teach about:
- the Occupy Movement;
- the role of strikes in movement history;
- the systems and issues this movement is protesting against;
- the possibilities for change this movement is part of envisioning; and/or
- what students need to know about how to stay safe during protests.

The scale of this response confirms the need for our proposed teach-in materials. I am currently coordinating with local organizers to finalize the curriculum packets for distribution.

Finally some real talk in the classroom. Kids need to know why the world is the way it is right now. About time.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. STOP THE CUTS TO OUR SCHOOLS. FUND THE FUTURE NOT THE PRISON SYSTEM.

Glad to see people actually talking about this stuff with students. Everything is about money and it needs to change.
