Jonathan Kozol And The Struggle Against US Apartheid

April 7, 2026 Michael K. Smith, Counter Punch. Strategize! Apartheid, Education, History, Racism, United States

Although bookshelves groan under the weight of tracts about U.S. racism, no one’s writings on the topic are more unsettling than Jonathan Kozol’s. He is among our greatest and most eloquent dissenters. He writes not from studied objectivity but with an impassioned conviction that sears the conscience and haunts the soul. His books, once read, stay with you; his insights, once seen, can never again be unseen. Horrors we once attributed to happenstance or personal failure are revealed by Kozol for what they are: our society’s deliberate punishment of innocent poor people, whose very existence reminds us of moral failures we prefer to imagine do not exist.

Philadelphia—Outside the February Monthly Action Meeting of the Philadelphia School Board, unions representing Philadelphia School District employees rallied in opposition to a proposed plan that would see more than a dozen school closures. Philadelphia Federation of Teachers (PFT3), Unite Here Local 634, Teamsters Local 502 (CASA), SEIU 32 BJ, and School Police Association of Philadelphia (SPAP) outside of the meeting condemned the 10-year Facilities Master Plan (FMP) presented by Superintendent Dr. Tony Watlington Sr. The previous iterations of the proposal presented a closure of 20 schools.

Student Association Tells Congress: Save Education, Stop The Save Act

March 27, 2026 Brooklyn Crawford, People's World. Strategize! Congress, Education, SAVE Act, Student Activism

Washington, DC — “The reality is that our opposition has a lot of money, a lot of power, a lot of momentum. And so it’s our job to ensure that all of us are clear about the assignment,” Gresia Martinez told delegates gathered in D.C. this past weekend for the United States Student Association’s 48th national grassroots legislative conference. Martinez is executive director of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led network in the country. She said student activists have to “be relentless, not seek out easy or short victories…and look at the long arc.” The good thing, she said, is they don’t have to do it alone.

In Gaza, Education Is A Daily Act Of Quiet Resistance

March 27, 2026 Hassan Herzallah, Waging Nonviolence. Resist! Education, Gaza, Genocide, Palestine

In a corner of a displacement camp in Al-Mawasi, in southern Gaza, Alaa carefully tapes a sheet of white paper onto a worn wooden board. Dust moves through the air as the wind blows across the camp, where noise and movement rarely stop. Around her, other tents stretch across the sandy ground of the camp, where thousands of displaced families now live. Children move between the narrow paths separating the tents, while the distant sound of generators and conversation fills the air. Just a week before the war began in October 2023, Alaa, a 23-year-old fine arts student at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza, worked inside the university’s art studio, surrounded by paints and materials as she planned her graduation project.

When We Fight For Public Schools, We Fight For Democracy

March 20, 2026 Kumar Rao, Waging Nonviolence. Strategize! Education, Non-permission Slip, Privatization, Public schools

Every morning, across the nation, in red states and blue states, in urban and rural communities, we watch children walk through the doors of our neighborhood public schools, backpacks slung over one shoulder, lunch bags in hand. These are ordinary moments that contain an extraordinary promise: that education belongs to every child. But that promise — simple, powerful and profoundly democratic — is now under attack in ways we haven’t seen in generations. Asked what percentage of children she imagines should be in public schools going forward, Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice — now with Project 2025 architect, the Heritage Foundation — told ProPublica: “I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.”

Florida Has Deemed All Existing Intro To Sociology Textbooks Illegal

March 8, 2026 Zachary Leveson, Truthout. Strategize! Censorship, Education, Florida, Sociology, Systemic Racism

Imagine the following scenario: You’re teaching Introduction to Sociology at a community college in Florida, and today, you’re trying to explain the well-documented pay gap between men and women in the United States. You check the guidance you just received from your dean, who received instructions via email from the executive vice chancellor of the Florida College System. The instructions state explicitly that explaining “unequal outcomes between men and women” in terms of “institutional sexism” would violate state law.

‘Worthy Children Of Heroes, Martyrs:’ How Nicaragua Cultivates Peace

February 26, 2026 Becca Renk Foster, Popular Resistance. Create! Education, Nicaragua, Peace, Sandinista Revolution, Violence, Youth

“I thought they were going to kill us. The bullets were flying past our house, and I was so afraid a stray one would hit us,” Socorro tells me. She’s recounting a gang fight that took place more than a decade ago right outside the walls of mismatched metal sheeting that surround her garden near Managua. “My granddaughter was small at the time, I ran with her and hid behind a barrel, thinking it was full and that the water would help protect us. But the joke was on me, the barrel was empty!” Socorro cackles, today able to laugh at the narrow escape.

Positive Action: Education Superheroes Climate Fresk

February 26, 2026 Extinction Rebellion, Popular Resistance. Organize! climate crisis, Education, France, Green Transition

Born in France in 2018, the Climate Fresk movement has now educated over 2.3 million people in 168 countries across the world. At its heart, it’s a collaborative workshop that gets participants thinking about the causes and effects of climate change. But for many, it’s a turning point in their lives, motivating them to set up new green initiatives in their schools, workplaces and beyond. Like Extinction Rebellion, Climate Fresk adopted its organisational model from Sweden’s Pirate Party, first codified in Rick Falkvinge’s 2013 handbook Swarmwise. He described the “swarm” structure: a light central scaffold that empowers people with shared tools, enabling an autonomous movement that scales quickly through decentralisation and initiative.

San Francisco Educators Win Major Victory After Citywide Strike

February 14, 2026 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. Resist! Education, San Francisco, Strikes, Teachers, Unions, Victory

The walkout is the first major educator strike in the city in decades and the first conducted jointly by certified and classified workers. Educators shut down schools across the district and mobilized thousands of workers, families, and businesses. Hundreds of picket lines were seen throughout the city. Before the strike, contract negotiations had stalled for nearly a year, as district officials attempted to push austerity measures that would further shift healthcare costs onto workers, maintain poverty wages for support staff, and fail to address the worsening staffing and support crisis.

Minnesota Teachers, School Districts Go To Court To Evict ICE

February 12, 2026 Mark Gruenberg, People's World. Resist! Education, ICE, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Teachers

Minneapolis, Minnesota - In Inver Grove Heights, Minn., ICE agents arrested a special ed paraprofessional in the Concord Education Center parking lot in that suburb south of St. Paul. In Brooklyn Center, another Twin Cities suburb, a parent of an elementary school student “was detained by federal agents while waiting at a school bus stop.” Both those arrests were on January 12. Both of those arrested were “profiled” by ICE. On January 7, ICE agents grabbed teachers at a Spanish-language children’s center in Apple Valley and a Spanish immersion academy in Minneapolis. They pulled the second teacher from her car.

San Francisco Educators Prepare Strike As Vacancy Crisis Deepens

February 7, 2026 Cameron Harrison, People's World. Resist! Education, Public schools, San Francisco, Strikes, Teachers, Worker Rights

San Francisco — In a resounding strike mandate, over 5,200 members of the United Educators of San Francisco (UESF) have voted 97.6% to authorize a strike on Jan. 9, setting the stage for the city’s first teachers’ walkout since 1979. That is, unless the school district addresses a severe vacancy and turnover crisis. The union announced the overwhelming mandate on Jan. 5 at a press conference as educators gathered for strike preparation. They cited the San Francisco Unified School District’s (SFUSD) failure to prioritize classroom stability, fully funded healthcare, and critical support for special education students as the primary reason for the strike.

How A Legal Group’s Anti-LGBTQ Policies Took Root In School Districts

January 7, 2026 Kathryn Joyce, In These Times. Educate! Civil Rights, discrimination, Education, LGBTQ Rights

The West Shore school board policy committee meeting came to a halt almost as soon as it began. As a board member started going over the agenda on July 17, 2025, local parent Danielle Gross rose to object to a last-minute addition she said hadn’t been on the district’s website the day before. By posting notice of the proposal so close to the meeting, charged Gross, who is also a partner at a communications and advocacy firm that works on state education policy, the board had violated Pennsylvania’s open meetings law, failing to provide the public at least 24 hours’ notice about a topic “this board knows is of great concern for many community members interested in the rights of our LGBTQ students.”

In 2025, Educators Didn’t Just Endure Repression; They Built Resistance

December 28, 2025 Jesse Hagopian, Truthout. Resist! Education, Organizing, Repression, Resistance, Worker Rights and Jobs

On a humid June afternoon, I arrived at Florida International University expecting to give what I thought would be a standard talk on my new book, Teach Truth, about the escalating assault on antiracist education. But when historian and freedom fighter Dr. Marvin Dunn took me to the campus, he made clear this would be no ordinary event. “This is Florida,” he said. “They banned saying ‘systemic racism’ in the classroom.” I knew this was true in theory. But when he locked eyes with me and I saw the turmoil beneath his composure, it became profoundly real.

How Education Changed In One Year Under Trump

December 27, 2025 Nirvi Shah, The Hechinger Report. Educate! Education, Higher Education, Schools, Trump Administration

Even with a conservative think tank’s blueprint detailing how the second Trump administration should reimagine the federal government’s role in education, few might have predicted what actually materialized this year for America’s schools and colleges. Or what might be yet to come. “2025 will go down as a banner year for education: the year we restored merit in higher education, rooted out waste, fraud and abuse, and began in earnest returning education to the states,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon told The Hechinger Report. She listed canceling K-12 grants she called wasteful, investing more in charter schools, ending college admissions that consider race or anything beyond academic achievement and making college more affordable as some of the year’s accomplishments.

SEIU California Sits Out Fight Against Classroom Censorship

December 16, 2025 Larry Bradshaw, Anne Wolf, and Noga Wizansky, Labor Notes. Organize! California, Education, SEIU, Teachers, Unions

SEIU California routinely uses fighting words. Unfortunately, when it was time to “stand up” and “fight back” against legislation that threatens the working conditions of tens of thousands of SEIU education workers, our union’s spirited rhetoric dissipated. SEIU California stood down. In the final days of the legislative session, AB 715, a dangerous censorship bill with broad implications for California public education, was forced through an abbreviated legislative process and subsequently signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom. The bill was backed by Israel lobby groups and California Democrats.
