Those values include the fact that education opens doors for all, and it must be free and available to all without exception; that all young people should have the opportunity to go to a safe, welcoming school that prepares them for college, a career and life; and that their school experience should support them academically, socially and emotionally.

No, your job is to teach…

But some people want that cornerstone of our society – the schools at the center of our communities, that don’t just educate our kids but often feed them, teach them understanding and tolerance, and prepare them to engage in our democracy – to crumble, and they’re wielding sledgehammers to make it happen.

Considering the average public school graduate can’t even name the bill of rights, the articles of the constitution, or understand that we are a constitutional republic….

Instead of coming together around solutions we know will help our students, some are unfortunately hellbent on destroying public education to advance both a political and school privatization agenda.

Yes, the big evil anti democratic sentiment of School Choice…

Our schools need supported, well-trained teachers who have the freedom to teach, collaborate with parents and help their kids discover who they want to become. Students need additional mental health resources to deal with trauma, anxiety and rising suicide rates. And school districts need to expand experiential learning opportunities, so students can learn by doing.

Not your job as a teacher, in fact everything you just listed is due to the psychological conditioning you preach and abuse kids with.

We’ve seen authors like Jodi Picoult and James Patterson strongly oppose book bans and the removal of their titles from school libraries. And the NAACP partnered with our union to distribute books featuring Black Americans to demonstrate the content that censorship takes away from diverse student populations.

So you’re sending out Huck Finn and Uncle Tom? No?
