Do This: Get Your Copy of the Costs of Conflict Report!

We’ve learned that extremism cost our public schools $3.2 billion last year. Now we’re also seeing that President Trump and Secretary of Education Linda McMahon fully intend to defund and destroy the U.S. Department of Education entirely. That means our public schools can expect to lose even more money that they can’t afford.

With 97.5% of public schools experiencing some level of the extremist-driven culture wars last year, almost every one of nearly 50 million students1 and 3.8 million teachers2 in public schools has felt — or will feel — the impact of this assault. Their stories deserve to be heard.

The Costs of Conflict report includes compelling stories directly from superintendents who were interviewed. Earn your Easy A this week by downloading the full Costs of Conflict Report and giving them a look!
