#educationcrisis #genalphacantread #waronpublicschools We are in the midst of an ongoing public education crisis. There’s a war on public education and an active push to defund public schools. In this video, I discuss America’s long history of anti-intellectualism and how there’s a push to privatize public schools and defund public libraries to keep Americans uneducated. Public schools are failing and it isn't an accident.
