WEBINAR: Parent Choice… Is It a Civil Right?

  • February 5, 2021
  • Curtis Valentine

On Tuesday, February 2nd our Deputy Director Curtis Valentine moderated an engaging conversation on the rights of all parents to choose where their children attend school entitled “Parent Choice…is it a Civil Right?” The  all-star panel of experts in civil rights and education included George Parker (formerly with Washington Teacher’s Union), Lakisha Young (The Oakland REACH), Shavar Jeffries (Democrats for Education Reform), and T. Willard Fair (Urban League of Greater Miami).

With an audience of parents, educators, advocates, and policy makers, the panel debated the connection between parent choice and the promise of a quality education. As America celebrates Black History Month, our project celebrates those who fight for the civil rights of all parents, especially the right to a quality public education for their children.
