Education: K-12
Class Action consults with educators and educational institutions interested in creating learning environments which address the needs of students from a range of class backgrounds. We also offer resources for educators.
Education is considered the cornerstone of our nation's promise of economic opportunity, yet our public education system undercuts some kids.
In fact, our society plays a cruel hoax on people: We talk meritocracy, but then stack the deck. We pretend there is equality of opportunity, regardless of race and class, but then layer on special privileges that advantage some and create barriers which disadvantage others.
Class Action Resources
Class Action offers tools which teachers can use in their classrooms to broach class issues with their students.
