A Message From Jonathan’s Team in Cambridge:
With the widening gap between public schools that serve our poorest and wealthiest communities, we noticed that the NYT has drawn attention once again to the seminal role that Jonathan’s widely read book “Savage Inequalities” continues to play in the advocacy work of progressive teachers all over the nation. Suddenly, again, we are receiving hundreds of letters from principals and teachers and college students who ask us for strategic help in keeping up the struggle he began so many years ago. We can’t reply to everyone as fully as we’d like. But, all of us who work with Jonathan are relieved to know that a new and younger generation is refusing to give up the fight.
It’s inspiring to see a new generation stepping up instead of giving up, even when the challenges remain so deep. In a different way, I notice how I’m drawn to communities like EaglerCraft, where people collaborate, build, and support each other—obviously not the same stakes, but it reminds me how collective effort and shared purpose can still make a difference.
