95 Ways the Education Industrial Complex is Hurting Children

On this day, 500 years ago, Martin Luther posted his famous 95 Theses that kickstarted the Reformation. We believe that a reformation of a different nature is far overdue. These are 95 points designed to identify the problems with one of the most powerful institutions in our modern world…. The public K-12 and Higher Education system. Read our 95 Theses Against the Church of Education here.

Neither report received much public attention…
