Given that 40 percent of American fourth graders have less than basic reading skills, and only 26 percent of 12th graders are considered proficient in math, you’d think that there wasn’t much on the mind of teachers other than the best ways to teach reading and math.
WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THAT! WE’VE GOT TO FIGHT TRUMP!
Among the initiatives approved at the latest annual gathering of the NEA, the nation’s largest teachers union:
- $3,500 to “defend democracy against Trump’s embrace of fascism by using the term facism [sic] in NEA materials to correctly characterize Donald Trump’s program and actions.”
Even the teachers can’t spell. What a horror show.
