I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

From Mississippi: “‘School choice’ doesn't just hurt individual children, or families, or communities. ‘School choice’ will hurt our cost of living, our overall quality of life, our state's economic capacity to succeed, and, ultimately, the cornerstone of our representative democracy.”
'School choice' benefits few, costs all
Whether you call it "school choice" or vouchers, privatization of education socializes all the costs of education but privatizes all the benefits.
