When I saw Governor Brown’s proposed budget cuts earlier this month, there was one cut that really stood out:
“Higher education takes a $1 billion dollar hit in Governor’s budget.”
While we’ve been out fighting for education equality, Governor Brown’s proposed budget cut ensures that increased tuition and overcrowded classrooms will keep higher education even farther out of reach for many California residents. Some of the worst examples of prioritizing executions above education can be found right here in Southern California: counties like LA, Orange, and Riverside are state leaders in sentencing people to death – at a cost of $1 million each! – all while laying off teachers and cutting local education spending.
