(Paterson, NJ)--  One of the signs at today's rally in Paterson says it allWhile Governor Christie was in Trenton blaming civil servants, teachers and the feds for all things budget-related, I joined parents and allies of public education in Paterson who gathered at City Hall for a rally and press conference lambasting the Governor for cuts to education, and demanding equality for the children of the Silk City.
He who opens a school door, closes a prison. - Victor Hugo
One of a series of protests planned by the Paterson Education Organizing Committee, this demonstration by concerned Paterson parents and allies was intended to galvanize support to fight back cuts to our public schools. Tops on the list: cuts to pre-school, art and music classes, and many other important programs that have been slashed since this generation of parents was in school.
If the energy in Trenton Friday is anything like the energy of this crowd today, we're in for a powerful message to the Governor: New Jersey is not going to balance the budget on the backs of hardworking public servants or our children. |
