1) Millions of American children are trapped in schools without adequate school supplies to teach a child to read. If a child can’t read by 8, chances of high school graduation vastly decreased & chances of incarceration vastly increased. We have simply normalized their despair.

Get rid of all the ridiculous testing! Give teachers time to teach. Quit lining the pockets of test publishers. One size fits no one!

Hi @marwilliamson while your observations/commentary are interesting & provocative, a campaign is a call to action with a specific agenda and steps to follow for supporters. Your social media stragegy could be better executed. #Marianne2020

USA spends +$600B on Mil. & $68B on Edu. Imagine if $668B were split 50/50 how that would change edu in USA. No rational adult would allocate so much on Mil. & yet we do. Only mass hypnosis can explain how we blindly accept irrational Mil spend & not even question this madness.

It is not just their despair. It is our despair. None of us are free until all of us are free.

Marianne's msg about early education is unique, no other candidate holds her values, they only co-opt for political gain. We need a visionary, we need Marianne. Lets support our children by supporting Marianne. secure.actblue.com/donate/ma…

Where are their parents? That’s like a question out of “Leave it to Beaver” - like something out of another century. Their parents are in poverty or near-poverty & often in jail. Does that mean these children deserve nothing better for their lives? Are they not full citizens too?
