In recent months the Trump administration has proposed to abolish the Department of Education, and has threatened to rescind federal grants to universities across the country unless they accede to its demands. Meanwhile public education continues to lose ground to charter and private schools, where unionization rates are much lower, as lawmakers consider providing vouchers and tax credits in the name of “school choice.” Teachers and professors at every level face increased precarity, lower pay, larger class sizes, and deteriorating work conditions, even as their political speech off the job comes under greater scrutiny.Featuring:Susannah Grossman, former private school teacher Alexander King, Assistant Professor (The New School & NYU) | ACT-UAW 7902 Tom Quick, NYC DoE | United Federation of Teachers MCR, charter school teacher Lauren Wolfe, Brooklyn Institute for Social ResearchModerated byJake Kinzey, NYC DoE | United Federation of TeachersSong: Pink Floyd - Another Brick in The Wall Pt 2 ( v a p o r w a v e )
