I was first to speak at ILEA, after sitting in on their meeting, discussing either overburdening IPS or taking away their decision making altogether. I had no idea they made it a law that charter schools were considered public school. I was shaking by the time I got up there.

Statement from our Fully Funded Fully Public Campaign on AG Rokita’s attacks on educator free speech
Statement on the Attorney General Todd Rokita’s Repressive Attacks on Educator Free Speech
Central Indiana DSA’s Fully Funded, Fully Public Committee unequivocally stands with educators in the face of state repression of their free speech. In recent public posts to his Facebook page, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has encouraged the targeting of educators by his constituents for their political expressions outside of the classroom. Using flimsy, minimal evidence such as screenshots of politically-tinged Facebook conversations that represent fair democratic discourse on a current issue well within the first amendment rights of those under scrutiny, Rokita is using his malicious Eyes on Education portal in an attempt to chill speech, put educators' employment at risk, and potentially risk their physical safety. Indiana’s Eyes on Education portal is a tool of political repression, not accountability. By encouraging anonymous reports on teachers—even for lawful activities outside the classroom—Attorney General Todd Rokita seeks to pit neighbor against neighbor for holding views he disagrees with. As citizens and workers, teachers have the right to speak, organize, and live freely without fear of state surveillance. This portal and Rokita’s irresponsible public use of its data chills speech rights and weaponizes government power to silence dissent while ignoring the collective needs of our communities: well-funded schools, fair wages, and honest education. 

Central Indiana DSA stands in solidarity with teachers against this attack on their dignity, their speech, and our children’s future.

People throw the word "fascist" around frequently, but what actually is fascism? Is Donald Trump actually a fascist? Why have the Dems been incapable (unwilling?) to stop them? What can we do to help put a stop to it? Join Central IN DSA TOMORROW as we explore these questions!

🚨 NO WAR WITH IRAN 🚨 The U.S. has no right to escalate violence in the Middle East. This is not about “defense” it's about oil, empire, and endless war. War with Iran would be catastrophic for Iranian civilians, working-class Americans, and the entire region.

Here in central Indiana, we know a thing or two about fighting back against establishment Democrats who seem addicted to abusing women. So let’s celebrate the work of our NYC comrades and discuss how we can apply the lessons they learned to our own chapter's efforts!

DSA’s own @jesseforindy.bsky.social has written a letter demanding Governor Braun veto SB1, as well as demanding that elected officials everywhere keep their HANDS OFF PUBLIC EDUCATION
At the Indiana General Assembly this year, dozens of bills related to education have been discussed and considered. The legislature has proposed amendment after amendment, seeking to complicate the issue with page after page of legal language.

At the end of the day, though, the financials are a simple matter: Indiana has $2.6 billion in state reserves, including a $421 million surplus last year alone.

All children in Indiana deserve every last dollar currently being spent on their education. 

We, the undersigned, call on all political leaders in Indiana - from the Governor to our Mayors and our Legislators, across political lines, to unite behind this simple message:

No children in Indiana should suffer cuts to their education budgets - for  any reason.

No matter the name of the bill, no matter the complex reasons being given, we say that cuts to public education are simply unacceptable. We demand Fully Funded, Fully Public education.

NO CUTS TO SCHOOLS!Jesse Brown

We recently learned that IPS school principals are being ordered to forbid their teachers from attending the ISTA Day of Action at the Statehouse on Monday, even going so far as to violate their contract and deny sick leave. Let’s call this shameful act what it is: union busting.
