In Jefferson County, Colorado, a major victory has been won against the Koch Brothers, Americans for Prosperity, and the privatization of education.
Grassroots organizations in Jefferson County recently came together in order to oppose a school board decision which was heavily influenced by a flood of money from Americans for Prosperity.
The school board had previously voted to impose a “new history curriculum, new restrictions on teachers’ job security, and more privately-operated charter schools.” An outpouring of protest from students, teachers, parents, and community members demanded an election, resulting in a major recall of board members in favor of more progressive-minded candidates....
The issue of growing Charter school influence is one that is being dealt with across the nation as many cities voted to oppose the influx of privately owned charter schools in Indianapolis, Jersey City, St. Paul, and others. The victory in Jefferson County is a sign of things to come as the American public shifts away from trusting gigantic corporations and instead focuses on honest grassroots movements.
