Public Education Needs to be Free Horace Mann, former Secretary of the Board of Education in Massachusetts and a current member in the House of Representatives, has been fighting to make education a right to all children and people in America. He has greatly contributed to make the Northern and Western states have schools to provide education for all children living in America. Mann has done a lot for education in the Northern and Western parts of America, and has pushed for equal education for all, but the Southern states are harder to change. In order to start making children go to school, Mann had to begin in Massachusetts. He has already been responsible for the construction for hundreds of schools in Massachusetts and around the US.
