THE DIANE RAVITCH RAP

 


THE DIANE RAVITCH RAP

Yo, yo, yo, listen up, I got a story to tell

'Bout billionaires and their plan to privatize schools as well

But don't you worry, there's a gang of educators and advocates

Who are standing up against these policies, they ain't no passive mates


First up, we got Diane Ravitch, she's a real OG

Former assistant secretary of education, she knows her stuff, you see

She's written books on the problems with charter schools and vouchers

And how they drain resources from public schools, that ain't no bluffer


Then there's the National Education Association, the biggest union in town

They're not afraid to speak out against these policies that bring schools down

Charter schools and vouchers divert resources from public schools, they say

And lack transparency and accountability, leading kids astray


The American Federation of Teachers is also in the mix

They're not backing down, they're here to fix

The problems with these policies that weaken public education

And promote the interests of the wealthy, it's a clear violation


But it's not just these big organizations that are making noise

There's a whole bunch of grassroots groups that are fighting for girls and boys

The Network for Public Education, Badass Teachers Association, and more

They're organizing rallies and protests, their voices can't be ignored


So, to all the billionaires out there trying to privatize our schools

We got a message for you, don't be fools

We won't let you take away our public education

We'll keep fighting for what's right, that's our dedication


In conclusion, the opposition to school choice and privatization is growing strong

Educators and advocates won't let these policies do us wrong

We'll keep speaking out against the wealthy and their greed

And fight for public education for all, that's what we need.
