CHICAGO, Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Friday, November 11, 2011 political leaders and world-renowned experts in the fields of education, advocacy, and business will hold a panel discussion at the Hilton Chicago to start a movement to end illiteracy in the United States and guarantee every child's fundamental right to a free, appropriate public education.

• Urban Perspective; Wal-Mart's Tentacles Extend to School Vouchers

Wal-Mart's immediate ambitions include destroying public education in the United States. To that end, the Waltons, through their Walton Family Foundation and in close collaboration with Milwaukee's Bradley Foundation, literally invented the national school "choice" network and its wedge issue-weapon, vouchers. It is the existence of the school vouchers "movement" that allows the [George W. Bush] administration to savagely and massively disrupt the nation's public schools while positing "alternative" forms of education, both vouchers and charter schools that often operate very much like public-funded private schools.

• How Should the Federal Government Effect Education Reform?

The National Education Association (NEA) generally supports local control of public schools. Education in the United States has always been a state responsibility that is implemented at the local level. That isn't going to change. Yet our nation has also had a long-standing commitment to public education as the key that unlocks the door of opportunity. It was in the U.S. that the movement for universal high school first took hold. It was here that the G.I. Bill sent millions of veterans to college, and the National Defense Education Act helped to lay the groundwork for the technology explosion of the past few decades.
