You can’t take democracy

Out of the educational process

You must keep democracy in

When you take out democracy

You take out opportunity

You take away the voices

The concerned parents

The teachers with needs

And the students, unafraid

You force them to rally together

To join forces

When you take out democracy

You take out free will

You order us

You command us

You tell us that

We have no rights

You can’t take democracy

Out of the educational process

We must keep democracy in

 

Privatization is not the answer

Educational leaders must lead
