It wasn’t hard to dislike outgoing Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Among many things, DeVos amplified destructive tendencies (gut/privatize/entrench disparities under the guise of ‘efficiency, choice, and support) but was not an aberration for black, brown poor + working-class communities. What’s next after #ByeBetsy? The players may change, but students, parents, and education advocates nationwide are still being gamed. Join the Dignity in Schools Campaign, the Opportunity Institute, and others for part one of this 3-Part series that aims to give education justice advocates the tools to flip the script and put resources and institutional power back in the hands of everyday people.
