It is widely reported that the Colorado Education Association - the state teachers' union - has passed a resolution with the following wording.
The CEA believes that capitalism inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor, and resources. Capitalism is in opposition to fully addressing systemic racism (the school to prison pipeline), climate change, patriarchy (gender and LGBTQ disparities), education inequality, and income inequality.
I cannot believe a majority of Coloradans share this belief. If you live in Colorado and have school-age kids, sending them to public schools may be tantamount to parental malpractice, perhaps even child abuse. And of course, most of those at or below a median income cannot afford an alternative to the public schools.
