DESCRIPTION:Charters, Privatization & the Defense of Public Education \n The growth of 
 charter schools and privatization of public education in California and 
 throughout the US is a cancer threatening students, teachers and staff at 
 all public schools. This education/action conference will look at what 
 charters are and how they are siphoning off billions dollars from public 
 taxes for profiteers. It will also examine how religious tax-funded charter 
 schools like the Gulen Magnolia chain and storefront “online schools” 
 like Escondido Charter High are growing in California and throughout the 
 country. We will hear from parent groups and teachers who are fighting 
 against retaliation and discrimination. This is a life-and-death struggle 
 to protect public education and we will learn about it and how to defend 
 our schools.\nSPEAKERS: Sharon Higgins, expert on Gulen Magnolia Charter 
 Schools; Dr. Frank Adamson, Stanford Graduate School of Education; Carlos 
 Taboada, Retired UTR teacher; Kristyn Jones, UTR Teacher; Debra McCaffrey, 
 parent activist; Michael Dominguez, UTLA retired teacher; Eileen Brown,
