Dear Ford Motor Company, today I got your unsolicited spam email about electric trucks on my school email account. Not sure how you got my email, but teachers are trying to serve the taxpayer, please stop wasting our time by spamming school accounts.
I signed, hope you do too if you care about kids, public education in NYC. @NYBATs @leoniehaimson
Share the Petition to End Mayor Adams' Scripted Curriculum Mandates — Educators and school communities must have an active voice in creating, choosing, adopting & implementing curricula that best serves our students - not politicians, bureaucrats or corporations. Yet, we are…
Winning Dem congress member explains how to “read the room”:
It’s going to take time to sort through what happened Tuesday. But I've read a lot of takes the past few days (some good, many bad), and I've had a lot of people ask how I won one of the toughest districts in the country by over 13%. Here are some thoughts: 🧵
Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus died Tuesday, a staunch charter school advocate who used his mega-billions for charity but also for hard right MAGA politics + AIPAC. Here is his charter astroturf plan to change public opinion by finding “new messengers”: highlandcountypress.com/whisper-conser…
On a somber election night, there were signs of hope in ballot measures. Voters in states across the country approved minimum wage increases and paid sick leave programs, enshrined reproductive rights in state constitutions, and rejected school privatization. Progressive policy…

Important reporting by @kalynbelsha reminds us how Trump wants to kick immigrant children out of public schools, end birthright citizenship + carry out disruptive mass deportations which would trigger layoffs for school staff + all sorts of workers who interact with immigrants:
NEW: What would mass deportations mean for children & schools? We can look to what happened in past & multiply that many times over. Raids have profound emotional & academic effects on kids. “It hurt me for a while,” said one 18yo whose mom was detained chalkbeat.org/2024/10/29/tru…
Follow the money and you see: M4L is funded by billionaires who want more tax breaks. They now use “covid lockdowns” in addition to abortion, immigration, gay rights + gun control to separate middle class voters from their money, from their healthcare and from clean air/water.
HOW BILLIONAIRES RIG: Been meaning to cancel @washpost since @valeriestrauss left, but look👇how Bezos uses automated discounted counter-offers to tempt subscribers. This is how Amazon got so big, undercutting competitors by forcing suppliers + creators to take a haircut.
you could protest Jeff Bezos by cancelling Amazon Prime, not your newspaper subscription

Why is Netflix’s cofounder getting involved in Chicago’s school board election?
TRUTH NO MORE: Trump in his own words confirms he will defund schools that teach America was “built on stolen land” or “on the backs of slaves”. Will we have to go back to teaching that God told European kings to genocide and enslave the savages here in the name of #whitepower?
Donald Trump just said he will take away $7.9 BILLION in school funding from California’s kids if we don’t do whatever he wants. This man is unhinged and unfit to be President.
Teachers who were forced to implement this shady administration’s policies can only shake our heads as the knives come out. UFT today said Adams/Banks scripted curriculum was pushed citywide onto students unprepared with pre-requisite skills for the lessons or the NYS Regents.
UFT NEWS: Tonight at 1st delegate assembly, Mulgrew said @nycschools is not negotiating anything + botchedthe curriculum implementation, 7K students/week going without therapy services. Said NYC sitting on $4B to implement class size law on time, with waivers for some schools.
Here's the breakdown of how the UFT Delegate Assembly was spent this month. Keep in mind, this is the "highest decision making body" of the union, according to Mulgrew. The decisions happen in resolutions.
Houston’s not our beat but a quick search shows 1 - this TEA director is close pals with Miles, right? 2-when was the reimbursement made? are you sure it wasn’t after they got caught? 3-why did Miles first say this was administrative fees if it wasn’t? texasobserver.org/hisd-houston-m…
Is your school shortchanging special education students their mandated services? @UFT letter to @NYSEDNews claims the city is withholding funds + failing to recruit/report needed paras. Also this year after hearing from members last year, the UFT is now calling to FIX PARA PAY.
"Stop playing games." The @UFT has asked NYSED commissioner Betty Rosa to investigate NYC's "inability to provide mandated special-ed services," including aides, OT and PT for children with disabilities -- citing a lack of funding. drive.google.com/file/d/12RdCW3…
