When we saw them in Seattle last year, this was the song they played as an encore. I’ve never seen such a fucking impressive show.

Philadelphia: High school students walk out of class and march to City Hall to protest severe budget cuts and planned school closings, May 9, 2013.

The budget cuts are absolutely horrific. Here are some of the proposed changes:

• Schools with more than 1,000 students would no longer be required to have librarians or librarian assistants.
• Schools would no longer be required to have counselors, and counselors’ caseloads would no longer be capped.
• Teachers could be assigned to unlimited classes outside their subject area, and high school teachers could be assigned an extra class without pay.  There would be no limit on amount of consecutive time taught in a school day.
• There would be no limit on class size
• The district would no longer be required to provide copy machines, or “a sufficient number of instructional materials and textbooks.”
• Counselors would no longer be guaranteed to have rooms with privacy and confidentiality, a telephone, a locked filing cabinet and a door.

There’s more here.

notice most of the posters are children of color

I just want you to notice

USA. USA. USA.

It’s time to stop obsessing with fetuses and start caring about the actual children who need our help.
