'A great nation does not fear people being educated,' said AFTunion president rweingarten
"A great nation does not fear people being educated," said American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten.American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten on Tuesday defended the egalitarian legacy and goals of public education and outlined a participatory plan to strengthen it nationwide as right-wing lawmakers intensify their long-standing assault on the institution.
The AFT president implored people to stand up for the future of public education, warning that its very existence is now threatened by a Republican-led effort to dismantle and privatize the schools attended by 90% of children in the United States. "We can make every public school a school where parents want to send their kids, educators want to work, and all students thrive."
To improve student outcomes and reclaim"the purpose and promise of public education," Weingarten shared the following four-part plan:, these schools"wrap academic counseling services, nutrition services, primary health and dental care, and much more around traditional schools to transform them into hubs that connect families and students with supports to learn and live."
As part of AFT's Campaign for Our Shared Future, Weingarten announced the launch of a"Freedom to Teach and Learn" hotline for students, parents, teachers, and the public to document instances of censorship. Alluding to AFT's four-point plan for greater investment and engagement, Weingarten said that"this is our agenda."
