  • Kids, Not Cuts
    I have no idea why Congress would be considering a devastating $6.9 billion cut to education funding — but we need your help need your help to stop it. These kind of cuts don't paint a pretty picture: Teacher layoffs, bigger class sizes, fewer aides for kids with special needs. Everyone deserves a fair shot in life, and that starts with a quality education. Yet, the House recently passed a budget which cuts billions in education funding, slashing the programs that education millions of kids here in the Bay State and across the country. The last thing we need to be doing now is cutting eduction. These cuts come on top of huge cuts that just went into effect when the Sequester cut education funding by $1.7 billion. These cuts will soon impact 1.2 million kids and take 30,000 teachers and staff out of schools. We need champions in Congress to fight back against Rep. Paul Ryan, Sen. Rand Paul and others who think we should slash education funding to the bone. I think that champion should be Sen. Elizabeth Warren, as a teacher and professor and someone who knows how to take a stand. Join us in calling on Sen. Warren to lead the charge against education cuts in Congress.

  • Let's Start Educating Americans
    The future of America, be it economically, socially, culturally, is linked to education. Our biggest threat does not come from external sources, but from within. I would not be where I am today without the education I received from my parents and from mentoring teachers at critical milestones in my life.

  • Justice For Kiera
    When Florida honor student Kiera Wilmont conducted an unsuccessful science experiment on school grounds, causing no injuries or destruction of property, the act ultimately resulted in her expulsion from school and felony charges. Such a ridiculous response to intellectual curiosity not only defies common sense but can potentially destroy the future of an otherwise stellar student. Such egregious examples of the school-to-prison pipeline run amok must be ended today. Justice for Kiera now!

  • Lodi Unified School District: Stop Supporting Disproportionality
    According to the 2011/2012 SARC (School Accountability Report Card) for Bear Creek High School, African American students were 16.4% (approximately 317 students) of the total school enrollment of 1932 students. However, they received 640.5 days of suspension; more than a third of the 1,833.7 total days of suspension. AB420 is currently trying to amend Education Code Section 48900 as it relates to pupil discipline. Members of our legislature recognize how the overuse of 48900 (k)1 disproportionately impacts minority students.
