Cara Fitzpatrick’s Tuesday book talk about conservatives’ war on public education is sold-out

New York-based independent education writer Cara Fitzpatrick already has a Pulitzer prize under her belt for local reporting, but that’s not stopping her from continuing to cover public education in Florida and beyond.

The Tampa Bay Times alum and current Chalkbeat editor returns to St. Pete for a highly-anticipated (and unfortunately sold-out) discussion about her latest work “The Death of Public School: How Conservatives Won the War Over Education in America” (which is out on Aug. 22).

Fitzpatrick will talk about the main themes of her book and portray how conservatives have pushed for a revolution in public education—“one that threatens the existence of the traditional public school.”

Although all of Tombolo Books’ author talks are free to attend, purchasing copies at the popular, hyper-local bookstore is always encouraged.
