Students United for Public Education - Skidmore

Students United for Public Education - Skidmore Welcome to SUPE - Students United for Public Education ! Education should not be a privilege, but a right.

As college students who know the benefits of a quality education, we are fighting for all others to receive these same opportunities. To put it simply, there exists a drastic achievement gap between the American rich and poor, privileged and deprived. This social justice issue is deeply rooted in our country's racist, oppressive past. We have inherited a legacy of minorities being pushed into segr

egated, undesirable areas, which created racial and class disparities throughout our school districts. Modern factors such as teacher disempowerment, top-down governmental control, and funding inequalities are now continuing to fuel the destruction of our public school system. As a student organization, SUPE hopes to raise awareness and action in this complex web of disfunction. We are striving for a society where academic achievement is not determined by income or zip code. To read further (please do!), check out the national organization’s web page:
