Book Study: The Education Wars: A Citizen’s Guide and Defense Manual
Registration for the PAC Sustainer Exclusive Book Study is officially open!
We invite you to join us as we dive into "The Education Wars: A Citizen's Guide and Defense Manual" by Jennifer C. Berkshire and Jack Schneider.
This virtual book study will run from July 6 through August 17, hosted asynchronously on MNEA Learns with five optional synchronous Zoom sessions to connect, debrief, and dive deeper into the readings and podcast episodes.
This hard-hitting guide analyzes the current culture wars engulfing public education-including book banning, school vouchers, and "parents' rights" movements-and breaks down the core issues threatening our school systems today. It is the perfect opportunity to explore a roadmap and guide to action for defending and ensuring the survival of our public schools.
