We say "NO!" to the proposal to cut $843 million already allocated to the 2001-2002 California education budget and"NO!" to any cuts in education in the next state budget. We will not accept cuts in our children's future.
California already ranks near the bottom in per-capita state education spending. All schools and all students would suffer from these budget cuts. These cuts would exacerbate inequality between rich and poor schools and deteriorate already unacceptable conditions in poor, majority black and Latino schools. We want equal and quality education for all students!
The children and youth of California are our state's most precious resource. We will not accept cuts in our children's future.
SIGN NOW AND ENSURE A BETTER EDUCATION FOR OUR CHILDREN!
We, students, teachers, parents and community members of California are united in saying "NO!" to the proposal to cut $843 million already allocated to the 2001-2002 education budget and to any cuts in education in the next state budget. The dignity, hope and self-respect of youth, as well as the basic prospects of our collective future depend on education and knowledge.
