Today in Labor History March 22, 1886: Mark Twain, who was a lifelong member of the International Typographical Union, gave a speech entitled, “Knights of Labor: The New Dynasty.” In the speech, he commended the Knights’ commitment to fair treatment of all workers, regardless of race or gender. “When all the bricklayers, and all the machinists, and all the miners, and blacksmiths, and printers, and stevedores, and housepainters, and brakemen, and engineers . . . and factory hands, and all the shop girls, and all the sewing machine women, and all the telegraph operators, in a word, all the myriads of toilers in whom is slumbering the reality of that thing which you call Power, ...when these rise, call the vast spectacle by any deluding name that will please your ear, but the fact remains that a Nation has risen.”

Seal of the Knights of Labor: a 5-pointed star with a circle superimposed on top of it, with the words of solidarity: “That is the most perfect government in which an injury to one is the concern of all.”

"Public schools have always been the epicenter of the right-wing culture war since the Supreme Court ruled segregation was unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. Abortion, feminism, and LGBTQ+ rights were eventually added to the never-ending list of right-wing grievances."

“The only way fascism works, the only way authoritarianism works, is if the country is in chaos and mis-educated. So year after year, attacks on public education were not by accident. They were by design, they were strategic.”

~ Jamaal Bowman

Returning control of education to the states will assure poorer education, and also religious intrusion in the educational process.
