Students in San Francisco public schools are being organized by their unionized teachers to protest cuts in tax-supported education budgets, according to SFPublicPress.
“On Thursday, San Francisco public school students as young as five will get a real-life learning experience about civic engagement — through protest.
“Students from kindergarten through college plan to convene at Market and Powell streets in the late afternoon to protest cuts to public education during a coordinated political action called the Rally for California’s Future.
“Several schools were planning to have students create picket signs in school. Maria Lourdes Nocedal, a third-grade teacher at Sheridan Elementary School said Wednesday that students sat in the parent room at Sheridan making signs and banners.
“’Our big slogan,’ she said, ‘is save our students, save our teachers, save our schools, save our future.’”
No word on what will happen when those kindergarteners inform their teachers they are organizing for a Tea Party rally.
