We can't stop thinking about this powerful Courier Journal commentary condemning Ky's Constitutional Amendment 2 which would allow for public dollars to flow to private schools written by a Ky private high school student. courier-journal.com/story/opinion/…
"If Amendment 2 passes, it means that there's a bit of a shift, a shift away from that idea of public schools as a common good." Hear more of this Ky hs senior's interview & KSVT's concerns with Amendment #2 on the latest episode of Pantsuit Politics. pantsuitpoliticsshow.com/show-archives/…
Happening now: KSVT's Luisa Sanchez sharing the data we collected from 10K+ Ky students navigating issues around race & ethnicity at school with over 150 Ky health practitioners as part of Norton Healthcare's Pediatric Behavioral & Mental Health Symposium. #stuvoiceKY

Today, Kentucky Student Voice Team announced a lawsuit against the state for failing to provide a quality public education to all students. State funding cuts underlie many of their complaints.
“This lawsuit targets systemic failures, not individual schools or teachers.We see the dedication of educators every day, but the root cause of these challenges lies in state-level decision-making and resource inequities.” Kentucky Student Voice Team courier-journal.com/story/news/edu…

Here I am crying in my living room on a Saturday afternoon from these inspirational young people and their tireless work advocating for themselves, fellow students, and the future of education in their state. Kentucky Student Voice Team is an incredible organization.
Cannot stop thinking of this day, the man who inspired it, and the legacy he leaves in Kentucky and beyond. #MLKDay Kentucky Student Voice Team
