This film is #propaganda to blame teachers and public schools in a broken ed system that intentionally sets schools up to fail #wontbackdown

Showing a movie that blames teachers a week after the SRC cancelled the @PFTLocal3 contract is a shady ploy to manipulate parents #phled

"Brian Burney (PSU Leader) joined a group of protesters outside Benjamin Franklin High School, where he is a sophomore. 'Last year, we didn't have any supplies,' Burney said. 'We had to buy our own printer paper. We had to share literature books and algebra books. It was a lot of chaos. It's messed up.'"
