STAAR is used to make children hate learning, take over school districts, narrow the curriculum, close schools mostly in poor Black and Brown neighborhoods, and fire teachers and principals. It has become the only thing that matters in schools. That is wrong.

Fight back by boycotting the STAAR. How much longer will we let the Governor and others use our children as bait to dismantle our public education system?
