The sad consequences of recent elections are in the headlines. Vote Education First!

 

Educators have every right to be offended – and they are – over a wealthy homeschooler/voucher advocate’s campaign to enourage school district employees to “blow the whistle” on colleagues who are enthusiastic about encouraging other educators to vote.

The “blow the whistle,” voter-suppression effort targeting educators is outrageous, but the message to educators is clear. Go to the polls when early voting starts on Feb. 20, take a few dozen of your friends and colleagues with you and Vote Education First!

The headlines below are the consequences of recent elections, and they are reality, folks, not “fake news.” If educators don’t vote for education and try to make a difference, who will?
