The one thing that could break this issue wide open would be the students rising in protest and they going on strike. I applaud the teachers for taking this stand. I know DPS teachers who have been bounced from crumbling school to crumbling school as state managers oversaw the implosion while state law allowed for-profit educational businesses to cherry pick their students. But the students, who are the customers and the real losers, need to drive this if any attention will be given. Hopefully this great letter is a start.
That happened in Soweto in 1976 and it changed and liberated a nation. Ask Nelson Mandela.
