Prop. 13 is already a third rail in California politics. Misrepresenting the origins of Prop. 13 does a disservice to readers and hinders meaningful dialogue about reform.

Reforming Proposition 13 is essential to ensure sustainable funding for our schools. It's unacceptable that in a state with immense wealth, we allow our children’s education to suffer due to fiscal mismanagement and inadequate resources.

t's high time we demand a society where wealth is more equitably distributed, ensuring that billionaires, whose existence perpetuates economic imbalances, contribute significantly to the public good. Billionaires shouldn't exist when basic societal needs are unmet.

Schools should be a place where every student feels safe and accepted, no matter who they are. It's time to stand up and protect our students - all of them.
