NEA BAT Caucus

NEA BAT Caucus Schedule for #NEARA17 & come visit us in Booth 86 & 87 from 7/2 thru 7/5

Don't let anyone step on your freedom to read and your freedom to learn. Not to mention, your freedom to TEACH truth. #TBATs @NEAToday #NEARA2023

We can't normalize the Extreme Court taking away our rights one by one. Time to get to work. #TBATs #SupremeCourtDecisions #RiseUp @BeckyPringle @NEAToday @AFTBATcaucus @rweingarten @AFTunion #July4thWeekend Freedom & Justice for All means ALL.

#SupremeCourtDecision is sideways & upside down. Forcing kids to jump over larger, whiter obstacles to achieve equity, forcing kids to prove they're "as entitled as" rather than equal under the law. #TBATs #AffirmativeAction @NEAToday @BeckyPringle #NEARA2023

#Vouchers programs are ripe for fraud. They are poorly controlled by design. What's happening in NC is not unique. #TBATs ncjustice.org/analysis-nc-pr… @NEABATCaucus @AFTBATcaucus @MIBATS @OhioBATs @NYStateBATs @PennBat @NoCarolinaBATs @BATs_DC @VirginiaBATs Support Public Schools!

Book Bans are un-American. We need to protect our Libraries from politically motivated attacks. See what Librarians are up against here: publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/ch… #TBATs @MIBATS @NEABATCaucus @PennBat @AFTBATcaucus @OhioBATs @BATs_DC @VirginiaBATs @MarylandBAT @BATsDelaware

When you reduce schools, teachers, and students to data points, you have to wonder... and probably worry. #TBATs @MIBATS @NEABATCaucus @OhioBATs @AFTBATcaucus @PennBat @BATsDelaware @BATs_DC @VirginiaBATs @MarylandBAT @NYStateBATs @judystrollo @teka21bat

Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions. Thank you for building the future. #TeacherAppreciateWeek #TBATs @AFTBATcaucus @massbats @NEABATCaucus @MaineBATs @NYStateBATs @VermontBATs @NHampshireBATs @ctbadassteacher @RhodeIslandBats @judystrollo

@NoCRTinSchools @DeAngelisCorey @rweingarten Whoa! @BetsyDeVos was in charge of the U.S. Department of Education! Where was her leadership during this deadly, airborne, COVID pandemic? Children were educated on Zoom with the support of their teachers & parents who finally had the time to bond with their children! #TBATs

Today is Earth Day. A good reminder to be good Stewards of the Earth every day. #ProtectOurPlanet #EarthDay2023 #TBATs @AFTBATcaucus @IllinoisBATs @IndianaBATs @iowabats @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs

Instead of focusing on School Choice or Test Scores, it's time to do the HARD WORK of addressing POVERTY. #TBATs @AFTBATcaucus Support Public Schools.

Don't ruin it by teaching history that doesn't teach the truth about history. Or by forcing teachers & librarians to adhere to your religious ideology. But most of all, don't ruin it by making guns more important than their lives. #TBATs @AFTBATcaucus @BATsDelaware @MarylandBAT

Unite against Book Bans. Organized censorship groups are attacking schools, teachers, libraries & librarians for political reasons. #FreePeopleReadFreely uniteagainstbookbans.org/2022-book-bans/ #TBATs @AFTBATcaucus @rweingarten @BeckyPringle #edchat #supportpublicschools #suppportlibraries

#TBATs @BadassTeachersA @CaliBats

It's not fair that Voucher/Charter schools get the same amount of funding per child even though they take the cheapest kids to educate. They don't use the extra $$$ on kids. They pocket the difference. Public dollars into Private Pockets. #TBATs @AFTBATcaucus @BadassTeachersA

Ask yourself who is making their lives better, safer, happier and healthier? Because if they're not, vote them out. #TBATs @DianeRavitch @Network4pubEd @NPEaction @palan57 @StevenSinger3 @judystrollo @teka21bat @AFTBATcaucus

Gun deaths among children are soaring. It's the #1 cause of death under 18. This is unconscionable. axios.com/2023/04/10/gun… #ProtectKidsNotGuns #TBATs @AFTBATcaucus @MomsDemand @Everytown @AMarch4OurLives #EndGunViolence

Our BAT Action Awards are out! Read here why Michigan leads the pack. Also what Oscar Winner Daniel Schienert had to say that earned him his award. facebook.com/BadassTeachers… #TBATs @AFTBATcaucus @MIBATS @BadassTeachersA

One vote kept Gloria Johnson from being expelled. It was Justin Pearson's vote right before he was vote out. But, she didn't let the #TNLeg off the hook, she said that the color of their skin was a big part of why Justin Jones & Justin Pearson were removed. #TBATs #Tennessee3
