Vouchers leech taxpayer dollars from the public school system—where 90% of students go—and redirect them to unaccountable institutions. Governors who support public education will not opt in.
Randi Weingarten 🖇️📚✊🇺🇸@rweingarten.bsky.social · last mo.Today, @neapresident.bsky.social & I sent a letter to Democratic governors urging them to reject Trump's private school voucher scheme.

Security costs are not part of that arrangement. Coordinating Secret Service and local law enforcement for an event with 5,000 invited guests and 100,000 people at a nearby outdoor viewing area falls entirely on American taxpayers.

Today marks the anniversary of the Brown v Board of Education decision. Seventy-two years later, we are so far from the equitable, justice-centered school system that our students truly deserve. We will never stop fighting for it.

In 1946, Virginia banned public sector collective bargaining specifically to stop Black hospital workers at UVA from organizing. It was a Jim Crow-era law. This new bill destroys old frameworks ＋ powers the collective. #VEAVotes #CollectiveBargaining app.sosha.ai/s/jCcCXIMA

The union difference: Teachers earn 24% more and school support staff earn 13% more in states where they have collective bargaining rights, and unionized higher education faculty in all types of institutions earn more than their non-unionized peers. https://bit.ly/49pnkRd
