Robert Reich explains how to reinvent public education & boost the economy at the same time

Watch the video.  Best thing MoveOn or any group has put our in years on how to strengthen, rather than defund and dismantle our public schools. 

 Reinvent Education
We can't win the fight to #SaveTheEconomy without tackling #education. Watch Robert Reich make the case for our kids, our teachers, and our schools -- and boost the economy at the same time.  Posted by MoveOn.org on Thursday, May 21, 2015

Video: how US economic and political trends have led to plutocracy and larger classes

In two and half minutes, Robert Reich tells the truth re the US economy since 1980.  The size of our economy doubled; but wages stayed flat.  All profits went to the wealthiest; and the top percent now have 40 percent of the wealth.

Which gives them too much political power,  influencing our politicians to lower their their tax rates, leading to deficits and budget cuts and yes, higher class sizes (not to mention more charter schools...)

A must see.
