#MySchoolMyRights - Know Your Rights

As a student, you have rights at school.

But one in five high school students do NOT graduate in four years.

Stop the pushout of California students and STAND UP for your RIGHTS!

I have a right to an education and I want to learn.
—Reginald Quartey, age 16, Oakland
