Let's be very clear: We must protect the right to protest, academic freedom, and free speech. These values are essential to college campuses and to our nation. At the same time we condemn antisemitism, anti Muslim and anti Arab hate speech and violence.

Let’s be clear here regarding Chicago schools- No one wants schools closed. Educators want to be in the classroom with students, where they learn best. We do that through working together to roll out testing, masking, and vaccination—and most major districts have done it.

At the state department, Pompeo defended Middle East’s tyrants & undermined Ukraine. He was more focused on pleasing Trump than fighting 4 freedom, national security & democracy. To compare us to China means he must not know what his own department says

Calling what educators do “filth” and “propaganda,” is insulting the nation-builders of the very American democracy he claims to cherish. Teachers give their all for their students, showing up for kids, partnering with parents and helping the next generation fulfill their dreams.
