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