An Important Message About Education from a sixth grader to President Obama

Watch eleven year old Ethan Matsuda tell the president about the horrific cuts to public education and how going to war in Afghanistan will drain resources away from investing in America's children. As Ethan says, "There's nothing left to cut, Mr. President.." Please forward this far and wide.

This video was made by Ethan Matsuda, who won a CTA Peace and Justice Caucus Youth Activism four years ago when he was in second grade, for his book, The North Pole is Melting, about Global Warming. The next year he wrote The Easter Bunny Breaks His Leg (and has no health insurance).
