DESCRIPTION:GAP Fisher Family Stop Busting Up Public Education\nStop KIPP & Rocketship 
 Racist Privatization Union Busting Charter School Chains\nGet Your Crooked 
 Hands Off Our Public Education System!\n\nSaturday September 29, 2018 10:00 
 AM\nGAP Corporate HQ\n2 Folsom St. Near The Embarcadero San Francisco, 
 California\n\nThe Fisher family which owns the GAP corporation has been 
 using their wealth to push full privatization of public education in 
 California and nationally with the KIPP and Rocketship charter school 
 chains which they control.\n\nIn San Francisco,  the KIPP charter is 
 busting up the Malcom X Academy in Hunters Point through the use of 
 “co-location” in the reactionary proposition 39 funded by Netflix 
 billionaire Reed Hastings and other education privatizers. Billionaire GAP 
 owner Doris Walker is on the board of KIPP San Francisco. She and her 
 family instead of supporting public schools and public teachers  are 
 helping to pit student against student and break the UESF and other 
 education unions through a two tier charter system for profit. 
 \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWAX0Hzb_JI\nThey are also using these so 
 called “non-profit” schools to get tax subsidies to push privatization. 
 They also then use their money to bankroll candidates in boards of 
 education and other government positions and control the State Board of 
 Education SBE and Commission on Teacher Credentialing CTC with is pushing 
 “Common Core” and other corporate schemes to commodify education for 
 profit. These charter school operatives also have massive financial 
 conflicts of interests which need to be criminally 
 prosecuted.\nhttps://capitalandmain.com/gap-co-founder-doris-fisher-is-bankrolling-the-charter-school-agenda-and-pouring-dark-money-into-ca-politics\n\nThe 
 Rocketship charter school chain is also seeking to break up public 
 education in San Jose, West Contra Costa and Vallejo. They have lied to 
 school boards and when some parents want to go to a school board meeting 
 they have discovered that the Alum Rock Rocketship school board was meeting 
 in the GAP headquarters in SF  during the 
 day.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_jZAYnrR_Q\nThey even tried to 
 privatize the Laney Community College by taking over the college land using 
 their control of The A’s. The A’s manager John Kaval is also on the 
 board of Rocketship and the team is owned  by billionaire GAP family member 
  John Fisher who also supports charters and privatization and helps fund 
 the California Charter School Association and union busting candidates 
 throughout the state and 
 nationally.\nhttps://edsource.org/2012/25-million-gift-to-make-bay-area-center-for-blending-online-instruction-into-school-day/21484\n\nThe 
 GAP corporation was also given a $13 million subsidy by the Newsom to build 
 their headquarters on the waterfront while kids in San Francisco are short 
 changed.\nThe so called “non-profits” also subject the students to 
 conditions that are clinically dangerous and use them as testers of new 
 education software technology to benefit the tech barons and also eliminate 
 teachers. This is part of the drive pushed by Governor Jerry Brown and the 
 corporate shills to put all education on line. It’s time to call a halt 
 on Rocketship & KIPP charters and repeal the California Charter School Law 
 to STOP siphoning off public money to charters.\nThis press conference and 
 rally is sponsored by\nDefend Public Education
