10:00 AM -5:00 PM
There is a national systemic organized plan through the use of multi-billionaire supported non-profits such as the Gates Foundation, Broad Foundation and the KIPP Foundation to place paid lobbyists
into governmental positions on school boards and other government agencies in order to push for the total privatization of public education. At the same time the privatization of the University of California and the CSU system through corporate regents and trustees who are profiting from these public institutions is a growing scandal. This conference will look at how the destruction of public education is taking
place in California, who is doing it and how to stop it and defend the right to a public education for all working people.
