As I said on @wabe.org yesterday, this administration's voucher scheme would hurt rural communities like the one I grew up in. Public education should be the great equalizer—and vouchers are the exact opposite. Listen to my full conversation with Rose Scott.

At a time when educators, students, and families are calling for more resources to strengthen neighborhood public schools—where 90% of students go—the Trump administration is advancing a voucher plan to divert taxpayer dollars to subsidize private education for a select few.

October is Higher Education Month! I am proud to stand beside our higher ed members as they organize for fair pay and benefits, a voice at the table where decisions are made, and the investments they need to do their best for their students.

Every student deserves to go to school knowing they are safe, valued, and protected. For educators, this is fundamental. We should strengthen Title IX—not weaken it. The Department of Education's move to undermine those protections endangers our students, who need them more than ever.

This is a well-deserved win for families and educators. NEA was a plaintiff in this case. By speaking out, we made clear that we will not tolerate the Trump administration flouting the law when it withholds congressionally appropriated funds.

What an honor to join @dianeravitch.bsky.social at the Network for Public Education last week. As we discussed, the movement against our public schools is strong—but it is not in my nature to despair. We will keep fighting to open doors to opportunity just as the teachers who inspired me did.

I said it before, and I need to say it again: I have never been more proud to be an educator. Across this country, educators are fighting back when others have given in. Continuing to create inclusive, safe, just public schools. Demanding respect, professional pay, better working conditions.

If you still have room on your summer reading list, add Ta-Nehisi Coates' The Message. In it, he recounts attending a school board meeting to support a teacher who was reprimanded for assigning one of his books to her students. It is a meditation not just on race—but on the power of teaching.

Taxpayer dollars belong in public schools—where the vast majority of our students learn. Vouchers leech public money away from public schools, harming students and communities.

The number of students receiving special education services has nearly doubled to 7.3 million over the last 50 years. But staffing hasn't kept pace. With overwhelming caseloads and ongoing shortages of special educators and paraeducators, too many students aren't getting the support they deserve.

Special Ed Caseloads Are Overwhelming! | NEA

As the number of students who qualify for special education support grows, fewer teachers and support staff are available to help them.
