Let's be very clear: We must protect the right to protest, academic freedom, and free speech. These values are essential to college campuses and to our nation. At the same time we condemn antisemitism, anti Muslim and anti Arab hate speech and violence.

Teachers.. the people who unlock kids dreams
Teachers.. who on the anniversary of MSD school shooting, who shield kids from bullets

First, in the era of school shootings, itโs in really bad taste for Don Jr. to attack teachers on front of a wall full of guns. Itโs gross. It feels like a threat in this climate. And right on the heels of the Parkland anniversary.
This looks and sounds like an extremist video posted from a bunker of undisclosed location

Marco Rubio is lying. Our union has been talking about reopening since April, in fact I published an OpEd on it this week. The fact reopening safely costs money. Trying to withhold money from schools only slows down reopening. Stop lying Senator.
National teachersโ union (not teachers) are saying they wonโt go back to work until 2022. We should not send a single taxpayer dollar in Covid funds to schools that arenโt going to reopen.

A: No.ย
