   To Teachers, Parents, Students and Public Education Supporters:

   The following information is taken from many guru veteran and retired teachers whom I could NOT be able to memorize as much as possible. Of course, everyone know our beloved Dr. Ravitch, and all active contributors between January 17 and 22, like: IRA SHOR, AlwaysLearning, NYC public school parent, retired teacher …
   Teachers, Parents, Students, and PUBLIC EDUCATION supporters must be much more politically engaged and must show YOUR DECISIVE MIND in the upcoming ELECTION 2020 by demanding of those running for office as follows:

   I) To maintain AMERICA DEMOCRACY

   = Every child in the US is entitled to a free public education

   II) To STOP THE LOOTING and the bleeding OF AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION from PRIVATIZATION.
   = those CORRUPTED corporate RUIN and DESTROY CITIZENS and COUNTRY regardless what country, what races, what education background, what cultures, what family roots and what party those corrupted corporate and authorities come from.

   III) Politicians of all parties must unite in an agreement to STRONGLY protect PUBLIC EDUCATION AT K-12 SYSTEM with wrap around services.

   = all young AMERICAN GENERATIONS are the REAL PILLARS of our DEMOCRACY.

   VI) YES, YES, YES:

   1) Teachers should also actively work to ensure that any Democrats running for president support public education. Education must be an issue in 2020

   2) Don’t expect co-opted Democrats like Corey Booker, Andrew Cuomo, Jerry Brown, or Joe Manchin to be critical of non-profit charters (or, as the co-opted Democrats like to call them, “public charters”).

   3) Parents MUST be able to exercise choice WITHIN the public school system — NOT OUTSIDE OF IT because we should be a firm believer that the public school system is one of the real pillars of our democracy and it is a path for opportunity

   4) UTLA should have specified AN EXACT LIMIT by the numbers on charters that restricts their looting of public schools and their dispossession of public teachers and students from taxpayer funded school spaces.

   5) UTLA should have explicitly demanded the MAX NUMBER for each class.

   V) Last but not least, all corporate, pharmaceutical industry, technology manufacturers, banking industry, insurance industry, oil and gas industry, and all entertainment industry, the owner must pay:

   1) MUST PAY TAX 70% AFTER THEIR MAXIMUM EARNING INCOME CAP AT 10,000,000 US DOLLARS.
   2) MUST PAY their EMPLOYEES PROPERLY HEALTHCARE BENEFITS AND INSURANCE.

   Please note that the 70% income tax to maintain highway, ocean which are eroded and polluted by all bad industries; to maintain hospital to cure all additive symptoms which are caused by bad business like brothel house about HIV or sexual transmitted diseases, alcohol, gambling, smoke drug like cocaine or marijuana, Oxycontin…Most of all, to maintain democracy by educating all children in America so that whenever these unfortunate children reach their maturity and able to work, to serve and to protect America, and mankind within their talents and skills.
