Fox News
Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman, one of the newest members of the Squad, unveiled Thursday new legislation called "The Green New Deal for Public Schools," a sweeping new progressive vision for upgrading school buildings with green infrastructure and major investments in teaching and learning.
"This is what we've dreamed of, but now it's actually here," de Blasio said Thursday who predicted Bowman's GND for public education would become law. Bowman praised the original Green New Deal founder, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and said his plan for public schools is aligned with the "paradigm shift" she launched for tackling climate change and creating more green jobs. He emphasized the need to transform public schools by addressing historic economic, environmental and racial injustices.More Related News
