Equal+Education+for+all

Imagine a world where every child gets the opportunity they deserve to fulfill their academic potential, a world where the next great inventor or scientist could be born not just in the suburbs of the wealthy, but the ghettos of the poor. The obstacle keeping this dream from being reality is the current American system of privatized early education. The outrageous costs of early education causes less privileged students to be unable to attend, leading to an academic disadvantage and possibly a life of poverty. The only solution to this problem is to introduce a bill, first here in Rhode Island, and then in Congress, to make early education publicly funded and allow every student to take their inherent right to an education.
 * The Problem and How to Solve it**

**Planning Direct Action**

· Our goal is to raise awareness about the problem of privatized early education and its effect on the future of millions of people. · With our direct action, we will form a club first at North Kingstown High School to write letters to the editor of The Providence Journal and The Standard Times, and as word spreads clubs can be founded at other schools, so that all representatives are made aware of our desire to fix this problem. · The club will meet on an apportioned date suitable to a large membership.. · Hopefully this will bring awareness to state officials who may not know or care about our issue and will convince them to sponsor and pass the Equal Education Act here in Rhode Island and eventually nationally
