I teach preschool in east Oakland.
I oppose closing seven schools which serve predominately people-of-color.
I support funding Oakland's schools to enable quality education for all.
It's a classic neoliberal move, to constrict public education (poorly educated people are easier to control) while increasing funding to programs to train police to better control them. Makes Oakland look like a banana republic.
I urge the City Council to fully fund schools to let them all provide Oakland's residents--including marginalized people---and defunding police in order to finance this.
