Join this Public School Strong Book Club where we will read the The Education Wars to discuss organizing strategies and hold a Q&A session with co-author Jennifer Berkshire, a freelance journalist and host of education podcast Have You Heard.
The Education Wars examines how schools have become a battleground on which the culture wars are being staged as part of a greater attack on public education. A long-overdue handbook and guide to action, this book will enrage and enlighten the millions of citizens who believe in their public schools.
Public School Strong is a national campaign of HEAL Together, a national school district organizing initiative. We are training leaders in every school district in the country to promote, protect and strengthen public education. We're convincing local policymakers that every child — regardless of zip code, race, gender or ethnicity — deserves to have equitable access to quality public schools that don't discriminate. HEAL Together is anchored by Race Forward in partnership with the Schott Foundation for Public Education, the NYU Metro Center and many other organizations.
