capitalism is the problem
Colorado's largest union representing the state's public school teachers has reportedly adopted a resolution on economic equity that affirms the union’s views opposing capitalism.
The Colorado Education Association, which represents more than 39,000 educators and staff, has adopted a statement saying it believes “capitalism inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor and resources,” according to a recent report from The Lion, a publication of the Herzog Foundation, a Christian education organization.
The resolution also said capitalism, an economic system that relies on private property and the market forces of supply and demand, stands in the way toward rectifying a number of societal ills.
“Capitalism is in opposition to fully addressing systemic racism (the school to prison pipeline), climate change, patriarchy (gender and LGTBQ disparities), education inequality and income inequality,” the resolution stated, according to The Lion.
