For a nationwide general strike to halt the drive to reopen schools!
[The drive to reopen schools, supported by both the Republicans and Democrats, is a linchpin in the broader back-to-work campaign. The demand that workers return to work, put into effect in May, is already responsible for 50,000 deaths in June and July. But the ruling class cannot get workers back to work if their children are not in school.]
[Trump does not just speak for himself. In an editorial Monday, “School-Opening Extortion,” the Wall Street Journal, gives vent to the social interests driving this policy.]
[What contemptible hypocrisy! The ruling class, for whom the Journal speaks, has systematically degraded public education for decades through the gutting of state funding and the promotion of charter schools, standardized testing and “school choice” schemes to divert funding to private and parochial schools.]
[The Journal has the gall to accuse teachers of using the pandemic to extract concessions. In reality, it is the financial oligarchy that used the pandemic to demand trillions of dollars in bailout money, sanctioned by the CARES Act passed in late March, with near unanimous bipartisan support. Having looted the state treasury, the ruling class now demands that workers get back to the job of producing profits to pay for it.]
Repeal and extract what they have been given and use it to privide the people who need it most until this virus is erased.
[The Socialist Equality Party and its youth movement, the International Youth and Students for Social Equality, are spearheading this fight. We urge teachers to contact us for assistance in organizing your struggle. We call on students and youth to support this struggle and join the IYSSE. Sign up for the World Socialist Web Site Educators Newsletter for updates on this fight.
