DESCRIPTION:The education crisis today is a direct result of the destruction of the 
 labor movement in the 1950s and the corresponding increase in the 
 miltiarization of this society to promote the war machine, where most of 
 the profits are in this society where the primary goal is maximization of 
 profits.  We are now witnessing the privatization of the schools, and a 
 military takeover of many schools in this country, as the state and federal 
 governments refuse to raise the progressive income tax on the rich to pay 
 for quality education for the workingclass, the 80% of the US population t 
 hat sells their labor for less than $76,000 a year.  The labor organizing 
 of the New Deal of the 1930s must be renewed and expanded, and the 
 military, including JROTC, must be kicked out of all the public schools 
 immediately for they are are only in the schools to recruit cannon fodder 
 for the war machine and are by definition anti-education.  Knowledge is 
 power and the public schools owe their existence to a strong labor 
 movement.  Learn more from Harvey Smith, Fred Glass, Oakland Education 
 Association (OEA) and Berkeley Federation of Teachers (BFT) representatives 
 and go on a walking tour.\nFor information please call (510) 649-7395\nSee
