Freedom Cafe: Public School

This Freedom Café will examine ongoing issues in our public schools, such as an over-reliance on testing, the disproportionate number of students of color who are suspended and expelled, and how these practices feed the school to prison pipeline. The evening will include performance and poetry from Everett Company.

Everett’s Freedom Cafés are a series of free presentations that create a dialogue at the intersection of social justice, the humanities and the arts. They bring together artists, educators, activists, scholars and community members to share their knowledge and experiences in an open dialogue with the audience.
