The entire California Adult School System faces extinction: Mobilize to stop it the closures June 12th
by Danny Weil
The ugly face of privatization and financialization are not turned solely at our nation’s youth. The loaded guns also have their sites set on doing away with adult public education.
Going back to school to sharpen your skills, take the class you always wanted, develop your potential, become a better citizen by sharpening your critical thinking skills, this is all on the chopping block which is also the ‘auction block’ in privatization circles.
You can help! Get involved. If you know an adult who is going back to school or thinking about it, tell him or her to attend the June 12th meeting to fight privatization and the decimation of education for adults.
W.E.B. Dubois said it best: “The role of education is not just make carpenters out of men, but to make men out of carpenters”.
I am sure now with women struggling for recognition and human rights, Dubois would have mentioned them in
