The Kochs’ infiltration of K-12 education harms students, teachers, and public schools, as well as our democracy. Students are losing access to quality public education. Teachers are losing access to resources and the support needed to create a healthy, generative public school ecosystem. Finally, our democracy is harmed as students are taught with Koch-funded curriculum that promotes regressive and ahistorical ideologies that contribute to myths of meritocracy, normalizes extractive economic practices which disregard our climate, and justifies historical structural violence. This report, which was produced with the help of our amazing fellows and Save Our Schools Arizona, is just one more way we’re able to provide the latest updates on how the Koch network continues to infiltrate and insert their austerity into public institutions.
