Neighbors for Education

Neighbors For Education speaks truth to power in light of hate on @AC360. We believe that what we are asking for, and many around the country, are common sense solutions! Moms for Liberty is fabricating lies to control via fear. twitter.com/cnn/status/165… #NFE #Copolitics #CNN360

Fellow Neighbors, our Woodland Park neighbors need our help. We need to ensure when we are making decisions that affect students, teachers and parents they are involved. If you can't be there, Call in! We want to progress our kids! #NFE #copolitics supportwpschools.com/2023/03/teache…

Hello Neighbors, I hope you all can join us for our 1st Black History Month Event in our existence as an organization! We want to Thank Mitchell High School and @CSSD11 to use their facility, we look forward to seeing you all and a great discussion!!! #BlackHistoryMonth #NFE

Today marks one year since we came together with the idea to organize Teachers, Parents, and Students to fight for their right to have an equitable education in School District 11 and across Colorado Springs. We ask you to celebrate with us by donating. neighborsfored.org/#

We at Neighbors for Education are deeply devastated and upset by the ruling of DACA by the 5th Circuit Court. There will be students effected by this, we at NFE stand with our DACA students! We ask Schools Districts to do the same, and stand with DACA students #copolitics #DACA

Neighbors for Education co-hosting Candidates' Forum:

“There was such a positivity and openness, and respect and great energy,” said Jennifer Williamson of Neighbors for Education. “We marched the parade and we never saw a single protester, and I didn’t hear any words of hate or opposition.” gazette.com/news/pride-par…

We'll celebrate our LGBTQIA+ members, D11 students and neighbors in this years Pride Parade this Sunday, 7/24! Meet outside Poor Richards on Tejon St. 10am. We will have a convertible for those who can't march. To participate, email neighborsfored@gmail.com.

Join Neighbors for Education for our social meetup TODAY at 4pm at The Carter Payne--a great venue with beer, wine, cocktails, food, and your friends from Neighbors for Ed carterpayne.se

Lobbyist Barney Bishop "also told the paper he 'certainly hopes' the effort will expand into the K-12 system over time. 'I think the problem isn't just in higher ed. The truth of the matter is that kids are being indoctrinated from an early age,' he said." salon.com/2021/06/23/des…

Reminder: Neighbors for Education Book Group tomorrow. “Wolf at the School House Door” Last meeting, Tuesday, 7/5 7PM @ All Souls Unitarian Church, 730 N. Tejon St. You're welcome to come even if you have not attended the other meetings (heck, even if you haven't read the book!)

Not sure what to think about a one-year contract for D11 superintendent Gaal csbj.com/news/gaal-agre…

In the introduction to "A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door," the authors quote Gordon Lafer: "education is the one remaining public good to which most Americans still believe we are entitled by right of citizenship." How can we better activate that belief in D11?

I'm late linking to this long, thorough article from the Washington Post about CSD11, which quotes our own @JenSSW washingtonpost.com/education/2022…

The court just ruled that taxpayers must fund religious education. We are hurtling towards theocracy.

The book is all-too-relevant today with Chief Justice Roberts writing in today's Carson v. Makin decision, "The State pays tuition for certain students at private schools — so long as the schools are not religious. That is discrimination against religion." 👎

Neighbors for Ed will be discussing "A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door" by @Edu_Historian and @BisforBerkshire today at 7:00 pm @ All Souls Unitarian Church, 730 N. Tejon St. Colorado Springs. Two more discussions July 5 and 19. wolfattheschoolhousedoor.com
