Check this out! Limited time sale. Wear this to let your elected officials know we expect them to keep the Missouri constitutional promise.

Don't wait: Order your $5 T-shirt today -- The Missouri Promise: Establish and Maintain Free Public Schools.

Missouri’s Constitution promises to “establish and maintain free public schools” for the “general diffusion of knowledge and intelligence” and mandates the state’s obligation to fund and operate the public schools. (Art. IX, SEC. 1a) That promise is not abstract—it is supposed to show up in classrooms, libraries, cafeterias, bus routes, and paychecks. It is supposed to show up as an opportunity for every child, in every ZIP code.

The promise is being broken by politicians and policies that keep taking away from public schools.
