Adriana Cerrillo, member of the Minneapolis School Board

As a mother with a child in the public school system, I cannot overstate the fear that I felt when I heard the Minnesota Senate proposed massive cuts to the state education budget. That is not a serious proposal—that is just chaos. My child deserves stability. Gutting his school and decimating his classmates is not a solution conducive to a safe environment for learning. And Minnesota isn't the only place where a war on education is occurring.
