This proposed budget cut and the narrow-minded people who proposed it won't wait to destroy education. As reported by the Arizona Daily Star, rather than raise sales tax by one cent, which would bring in $1 billion a year, certain lawmakers have decided to sacrifice our already crippled public education system. It has been said that the leadership of these budget cuts won't hear alternative views from anyone, including our former governor or their own constituents. Now the measure is being pushed quickly through the legislature in order to minimize protests.
This is an absolutely outrageous move to keep the poor and illiterate in their place, guaranteeing that the only residents of this state that will have access to quality education are the ones who can buy it.
This moment is historic. We encourage you to participate. A march on the capitol is being organized for next week. We are hoping for 10,000 from U of A and 10,000 from ASU.
Fight for your education! Fight for your fellow students and teachers! Fight for dignity and common sense in Arizona!
No taxation without representation! No taxation without EDUCATION!
