Teachers will always “say the thing”
Such a powerful statement from our Ranking Member @delauro.house.gov
Voters support increasing funding for most areas in Education - especially funding for creating a positive & welcoming environment for all students, K–12 public schools, career and college preparation, ECE, teacher salaries, & providing high-speed internet. #OpinionatED

Linda McMahon is on the record now saying it is "not the President's plan to defund the programs" in ED, but our educators, students, and families deserve details for the many critical programs that provide support, services, and even food for children nationwide.
Use your voice to support our nation’s public education system. Sign the letter to protect the key functions of ED and ensure the next secretary does as well. www.all4ed.org/publiced
Statement from our CEO @amyloyd.bsky.social: "We oppose Linda McMahon's nomination as Secretary of Education. Trump's actions have already weakened the Dept. of Education. McMahon will continue this harmful trend." Read full statement here: bit.ly/40PAhi4 #SpeakUpForEd #Edusky
"I believe teaching is one of the most noble professions we have in our country. We have, in our country, so many good, dedicated teachers." - the Honorable Linda McMahon
We agree! Now, she MUST ensure that her department supports teachers rather than attacks them!
#EduSky #SpeakUpforED
It’s disappointing to hear Sen. Tim Scott say that there is no one better than Ms. McMahon to lead @usedgov.bsky.social when there are countless incredible educators, administrators and higher education leaders that have the deep expertise to lead our nation’s Education agency.
Today, Linda McMahon answers the Senate’s questions in her hearing to be the next EdSec. She should also answer teachers questions at #QuestionsforLinda #EduSky
Voters agree with @sanders.senate.gov. 68% of voters want to increase funding for public schools over vouchers. We let the voters speak for themselves, our next Education Secretary should too.

1) Happy Black History Month!
2) Happy Career and Technical Education Month!
3) Did you watch the House Committee on Education & Workforce’s hearing this morning on The State of American Education? It was fascinating. lnkd.in/ewtpMUuK

Actually, Rep. Mackenzie @all4ed.bsky.social polling shows that parents want to invest in public education NOT in vouchers that allow private schools to exclude some students. all4ed.org/opinionated
Any teacher would welcome parents to engage!
“Children don’t learn when they are hungry or sick.” @repbonamici.bsky.social
The federal government does not dictate curricula! A great reminder from @repbonamici.bsky.social
Rep. Bonamici raises an incredible point. Voucher systems would not serve rural communities where private education options are unavailable
Watching this hearing and I just need to know… where was this foreign money?!? I had a monthly copy limit!
Another former teacher Rep. Mannion spent years in the classroom and is reminding us that education is the great equalizer and the great stabilizer.
The problem with these private schools being funded with public dollars is that they can reject students - students with disabilities, low income students, and others
“The conversation we should be having is how do we lower the cost of education not discourage it.” -Rep. Hayes
Former teacher, Rep. Hayes reminding us off all the ways the Department protects all children
Rep. Alma Adams, a former teacher, said it best - we need to invest in our nation’s teachers! 👏👏
Rep. Takano is asking all the witnesses if ED should be abolished. No one has said “yes.”
Rep. Wilson says parents our under attack…
Teachers? Is that true?
In my classrooms, parents were my partners!
