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!

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

IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT of any of the below communities, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES. Tell them to vote NO on SB1 if there's still SB518 language in it! This language threatens to decimate community schools across the state, all just to make out-of-state billionaires richer

If you can’t make it, please reach out to your state rep and tell them to vote no on SB1 if any SB518 language is still attached, particularly if you live in these districts. Even republicans have been exceptionally movable on these two bills, so please call or email TODAY

Central Indiana DSA @centralindsa.bsky.social · 06/04/2025
It couldn’t pass on its own, so they’re trying to sneak SB518 into the governor’s signature SB1 to force it through, and on Wednesday, they’re doing the same with HB1501! Charter schools are bad for everyone: rural, urban, and suburban!

This is why we say these “non-profits” are in name only. Execs take absurd salaries vs their reports. And that’s only at face value. We’ve found whole networks for profiteers: developers to book sales to tutoring firms directly connected to these execs, all making profits
