Huppenthal has eliminated a successful Mexican American Studies in Tucson Unified School District, and is now calling for a ban on Mexican American Studies in AZ's public universities. The state should not be telling students what they cannot read and professors what they cannot teach. We provide asylum to students and professors in whose countries books, curriculum, and ideas are banned. Huppenthal's actions violate the most basic spirit of our country’s founding principles.

Children at 5 years can begin school as a Kindergartener as long as their birthday is BEFORE September 1st of that school year. This has been going on for years and it is not fair. If a child is going to be 5 years old that school year, they should be allowed to start school with everyone else instead of being held back a year.

The Cal Grant program helps thousands of students attend college each year, and the new plan to raise the GPA minimum would derail over 26,600 students. Denying financial aid to these individuals would greatly increase California’s dropout rate, creating problems that extend far beyond the education system.

Let's get education back in the hands of educators instead of politicians. Let's go back to filling out lesson plans and teaching what students need to know.

Townships are rasing salaries for township employees and Teachers while cutting school programs that include Free Breakfast and afterschool program sports and arts,The New Jersey employee benefits and pension plan is already far too costly,support the children in the schools not the rich people running them who never give up any raises or benefits like other state employees who have not had a aise in 5 years.

After a decade of Mayor Bloomberg running our schools on a corporate reform agenda, only half of White and Asian students, and only 13% of Black and Latino students graduate ready for college. Yet a new coalition supported by hedge fund managers and corporate CEOs has committed to raise $50 million to make sure the policies of Mayor 13% live on. We will not let the education of the next generation of New Yorkers be bought and sold. We want a new direction for public schools. We refuse to vote for the next Mayor 13%.

Tuition increases are becoming one of the biggest obstacles for our highest achieving students from furthering their education. Affordability should not be a determinant when an individual is deciding to receive higher education. Our generation needs to commit to providing college opportunities for all students. California and its future generations will benefit from this investment.

The Federal Government has just passed a new law and put a cap on the amount of time a person can receive the Pell Grant from FAFSA to six years of being a full-time student. The background on this cut is that the people that passed the law are punishing the students that are going to school and just taking the money and not using it to really get an education, but this hurts those who are truly seeking an education to better their futures. This is for all of the students and their supporters who know life happens at the same time as schooling does. Six years is a short time in education.

Because of Republican obstruction in Congress, interest rates on college loans are set to double this July—pouring even more debt on a generation already drowning in student loans. President Obama is pushing Congress to stop it, but as usual Republicans have dug in their heels. Doubling interest rates would be devastating to students and working families. Since 1999, student loan debt has increased by more than 500%, and total student debt is over $1 trillion dollars. But Republicans are so out of touch that their point person on higher education, Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, says she has "little tolerance" for people who graduate with lots of debt because "there's no reason for that." It's not just Virginia Foxx. Mitt Romney says he wants to slash Pell Grants by $170 billion. Republican governors like Scott Walker have been slashing funding for higher education for years, forcing increases in tuition. Students and working families need to send a clear message to the Republicans in Congress: If you allow interest rates to double, we're voting you out.
