| Tomgram: Steve Fraser, Teaching America a Lesson |
By Steve Fraser 2018-04-18
The strikes, rallies, and walkouts of public school teachers in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, soon perhaps Arizona, and elsewhere are a stunning reminder that class has always mattered far more in our public and private lives than our origin story would allow.

A novel incarnation of the divide and conquer strategy which the power elite have traditionally wielded to hobble the proles.... / Take personal responsibility for your own social life.
