Sacramento’s game of hide-and-seek with public education
“Despite the sunny optimism for which California is known, and despite elected officials’ progressive fights on immigration and the environment, Sacramento is burying a dark truth: California public schools fail most kids, especially Latino, African American and high-poverty students who rely the most on public schools. More California children of color and low-income children are below grade level than the entire K-12 population of Massachusetts. That’s not progressive. That’s disgraceful.”
