We rallied to say it clearly: No Kings over our classrooms.
Public schools don’t belong to billionaires or politicians — they belong to the people.
Public education is a public good.
Defend democracy.

When the Supreme Court Lets the Trump Regime Dismantle the Education Department I’m sitting here looking out my office window as a couple of summer thunderstorms roll by.

The Trump regime is coming for public education. This week’s SCOTUS decision just gave them the green light. I wrote about what this means for KY. #KYPolitics #DefendPublicEd

Trump is withholding $6.8 billion in public school funding—money Congress already approved. Programs for migrant students, after-school care, and teacher training are now in limbo. This isn’t fiscal responsibility. It’s sabotage. #DefendPublicEd #TrumpSucks #DonaldTrumpSucks #PublicEducation

Our public schools are where we build community, where we lift each other up, and where every child is supposed to matter.
Vouchers are about abandoning that idea.
#DefendPublicEd #DontDefundPublicSchools

Every voucher dollar is a dollar stripped from a classroom.
From a support staff position.
From a counselor.
From a student who needs that resource.
This is a slow dismantling of public education, and we have to call it what it is. #DefendPublicEd #DontDefundPublicSchools

As a union leader, I’ve seen what our schools can do when they’re fully funded. Vouchers pull resources away from public schools and send them to private institutions with no accountability to our communities. We can’t let that happen. #DefendPublicEd #DontDefundPublicSchools

Had a great time at the @network4pubed.bsky.social conference—energized by the people, the purpose, and the powerful ideas. Grateful to learn how we can better defend public education and our communities in today’s political climate. #NPE2025 #DefendPublicEd

Rand Paul’s response is classic authoritarian deflection: dodge the $2B funding question and push a false choice—money or literacy. But defunding public ed hurts literacy, especially for rural and low-income kids. Don’t fall for the pivot. #NameTheGame #DefendPublicEd

Authoritarians won’t say “no”—they dodge. McMahon didn’t say every child deserves education. She said it’s a “goal,” not a right. That’s how public systems die: not with a scream, but a shrug. Watch the language. That’s where the truth leaks out. #DefendPublicEd

Agreed. If we let them gut education, we’ve already lost. First step: Find out if your state is cutting special ed funding—then speak up. Show up at school board meetings. Call reps. Support lawsuits. Vote for leaders who fight for every child. Silence = surrender. #DefendPublicEd

As an educator & union leader, I wear red every Wednesday until Trump is out. His administration attacks public education & unions—gutting funding, silencing teachers & harming students. Stand with me for our schools & democracy! #WearRedForEd #UnionStrong #DefendPublicEd

Department of Education lays off nearly 50% of its workforce Mass layoffs are impacted 1,315 employees of the Department of Education, sources told ABC News.

There has been a devastating 50% layoff at the Dept. of Ed. This will cripple our ability to serve students. We need to act NOW! Please write to your congressional delegation and ask them to take immediate action on behalf of kids across the US. #defendpubliced

A national call to action #defendpubliced #protectourkids

While Trump fabricates ‘spork’ scandals to justify gutting public education, students starve. Education is a right—fight for fully funded schools! #DefendPublicEd

"Fiat 0010110: NEA, AFT, all education unions—where is the plan to fight the dismantling of the Dept. of Ed? Block grants & state-by-state chaos will gut special ed & public schools. Silence is complicity. Time to mobilize. #DefendPublicEd #UnionsMustAct"
