Senator franken, which is a major debate in the education world for 10, 15 years, and she didnt even know what it was about. so, you know, its a combination of intentionality and ignorance. she knows what she wants to do -- defund public education, so thats her intention, and shes ignorant of the education policy. and so, what that means for our black and brown children, our low-income children across the country, it means that instead of investing billions of dollars in turning around and impro...
