I made this image tonight for Unwoke Art….and I couldn’t stop staring at it because it read truth.
Look at those kids. They’re dead inside.

It’s the closest thing to being in prison that most of us will ever experience.
We’ve known this for a long time. 16 years ago a TED Talk from Sir Ken Robinson called “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” went viral. I strongly recommend spending the 20 minutes to watch it:
And since then, things have only gotten worse.
The public schools are robbing your children of humanity.
You are fooling yourself if you think that school choice will fix this problem. We need a drastic overhaul in how we approach education.
And in order to do that, we need to be able to explain to people why the public schools are like prisons.
People like you need to be able to explain - in plain English - to your friends and family what is wrong with the schools. They’ve changed drastically since most adults were in them. They need to understand the new normal.

In this article, I will give you talking points.
I’ll give you a list of reasons why the public schools are like prisons that you can use to teach your friends and family to allow them to see the schools differently.
I’ll show you the latest test scores that prove that a public education is failing your kids.
I promise you, it’s worse than you think.
