SING TO – THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND by Woody Guthrie
These schools are your schools these schools are our schools
From northeast Philly to Cobbs Creek Parkway
They need support and more state funding
These schools were made for you and me.
The SRC’s plan is just to privatize
Give Mastery Wister
Excuse failing Stetson
Cut building maintenance
Add scripted lessons
And what ever happened to libraries?
These schools were made for you and me.
Instead of art and music spending
They turn ‘round schools, hold secret meetings
Instead of counselors
They move ‘round faculty
When – what’s needed is stability.
Where is the SRC’s accountability?
When we ask questions
They act above the law.
There are no checks on those appointed
When can we lose the SRC?
These schools are your schools….
