I was a dues-paying, card-carrying member of my teachers union for years. I'll always fight for working families.

"They’re creating a precedent that every bad school district and every bad corporation can look to and say, 'If the largest union in the country can do this to their workers, why can't we?'" wtop.com/local/2024/08/…

Great to hear from and speak with @AndyBeshearKY today as he spoke to a fired up, sold out crowd of @iowademocrats! We won’t go back.

One day after Gov. Kim Reynolds called for an overhaul of Iowa's special education services on Tuesday, the Department of Education had already posted 29 job openings for a new Division of Special Education. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…

Despite requests from Iowa educators, the Iowa Department of Education does not plan to release detailed guidance on implementation of new laws restricting book and school materials, officials said Thursday. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2023/08/03/iow… via @IowaCapDispatch

Thank you to our school maintenance workers! You ensure our school facilities are at their best, especially over the summer before we head back to school. We appreciate you & your hard work! #ThankYouThursday
Governor Reynolds just called a special session for Tuesday, July 11 to take away our reproductive freedom and ban abortion! I am part of the majority of Iowans that believe in reproductive freedom, but GOP politicians aren't listening. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/iowa…

While we celebrate Juneteenth today, some politicians are fighting to keep our students from learning about it. Today is a reminder that Black history is American history. Whitewashing the past and hiding the truth robs all of our students of the education that they deserve.
Melissa Peterson retweeted
Students in Miami-Dade are poorer today for being robbed of Amanda's poetry. All students benefit when they are taught diverse perspectives & stories of our common struggle. Shame on politicians who promote the lie that banning literature does anything except harm our students.
Melissa Peterson retweeted
It's #TeacherAppreciationWeek! @BeckyPringle sat down with @jrpsaki to discuss the issues that our educators are facing. "We need to do more than appreciate. We need to take action... For our teachers, we need to do more than one day, one week." ➡️ youtu.be/wIyjvBz1YYo

Today NEA released new data on educator pay in every state. There is a perfect storm brewing in public schools. Low wages and a lack of professional respect are leaving too many classrooms without teachers. nea.org/resource-libra…

Standardized testing has long failed students, but now @usedgov is taking a step in the right direction. Join me in urging our leaders to make changes we need to bring our assessment systems into the present—and prepare students for the future. nea.org/advocating-for…

On National School Librarian Day, I am lifting up every guardian of stories, every battler of book bans—every librarian. Thank you for broadening students' horizons through books, and protecting all the magnificent diverse stories our world has to offer.
Melissa Peterson retweeted
Students deserve to learn deeply about a wide range of topics, in an age-appropriate manner—but divisive concept laws rob them of that freedom. We are seeing these laws' devastating consequences of censorship and weakening education, from history lessons to music classes.
Melissa Peterson retweeted
Everyone deserves an equal chance at economic security, no matter their gender. Today—#EqualPayDay—marks how far into 2023 a woman must work to earn what a man did in 2022. It is a reminder that we must call upon our leaders to take bold action to eliminate the wage gap.
