Meet Our Schools' Bad Apples

Plotting for school privatization

Billionaires and hyper-partisan think tanks have been working for decades to move America toward a privatized education system as one more way to increase their wealth. They view students as future voters who will bolster their power instead of as innocent young learners.


Within the past few years, their tactics have converted school board meetings into circus acts and social media platforms into cesspools of lies. Our neighborhood teachers are vilified as monsters.


We must continue exposing these troubling intentions, dispelling the disinformation, and diligently standing up for properly funded Michigan schools.

Alarming propaganda and racist rhetoric filled a February 14 “Dear Colleague” Letter about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) authored by the nation’s acting assistant secretary for civil rights within the Department of Education. Unfortunately, all this letter does is fan the flames of white Christian nationalist conspiracies about the Great Replacement Theory, perpetuate centuries of racism, and play the public as naïve.
