A skate park might not be the first place you would look for commentary on the state of public education. This graffiti popped up on a structure that faces Capital Prep Magnet School and happens to be painted in that school’s colors.
Diane Ravitch, who we are guessing did not write this at a height requiring a ladder to reach, will be giving a lecture about the privatization of public schools. That free, public event will take place on October 8th at Quinnipiac University in Hamden.

Awesome. This is what good graffiti should do. well, the stuff that isn’t just art.
Kerri Provost
I’m with you — the paint smells too awful to waste one’s time with just tagging. Art or message.
Alexa Mannheim
Inspiring. Great location for such a message too.
Kerri Provost
I don’t think the location was a coincidence.

I should mention, for people who are not familiar with Real Hartford, that this writing was in a skate park where graffiti *is* permitted.
