Bernie Sanders on education July 15, 2015

[cal04]

Bernie Sanders took to the Senate floor on July 15, 2015 to talk about education and his ongoing efforts to make improvements. These include job training and employment services for kids.

We've got to start creating a situation where our kids can leave school and start leading productive lives

Let me be as clear as I can be: it makes a lot more sense to invest in jobs and education than in more and more jails.

From April 2014-March 2015, the real unemployment rate for black high school graduates (ages 17-20) was 51.3%, for Hispanics it was 36.1%.

1. Invest in jobs and education, not jails

Supporting low income communities. Job training. These are the things we need to focus on as a country.

I hope people will watch the video before commenting.

2. Young people do need to have life too. Duh.

Somewhere deep (or maybe not so deep) in the CIA archives there are papers describing ways to undermine a nation, methods to destroy a nation.

Surely one of the principle ways would be to destroy the future of the young citizens of that nation by eliminating their life choices—with few available possibilities of employment or education.

That's why I say "Duh".

Vote for Bernie—the nation's last chance.
