HS Student Writes about Our Education!
In what we hope will be a sign of more attention to come, a high school student named Alan Moore from Hawkinsville, GA had an article published in his local paper in which he discussed Our Education's "A Million Voices, One Right" national petition campaign. The paper doesn't have an online link to the article yet, but here's the snipped about OurEd:
"Many Georgia delegates attended the “Petitioning Your School for Change” workshop, led by Aaron Tang of Our Education, an organization based in Arlington, Virginia that is leading the call for a constitutional amendment guaranteeing American children the right to an education. A graduate of Yale University, Tang co-founded the organization with fellow Yale graduate Ethan Hutt. Their motivation was a core belief that children in the United States deserve a better education, as well as having the right to the same education guaranteed. Particularly surprising was the fact that the word “education” is not mentioned once in the United States Constitution. In San Antionio vs. Rodriguez, the US Supreme Court in 1973 ruled that education does not fall under the rights afforded to citizens under the Constitution. Expect to see many of the delegates who attended this wonderful and informative workshop to be working tirelessly for better schools in our respective counties, state, and nation."
