Public education remains the cornerstone of our democracy—a place where youth develop not just academic knowledge, but the sense of belonging, connection, and agency essential for healthy development and civic participation.

Teacher ordered to remove signs from classroom, including one saying 'Everyone is welcome here'
“There are only two opinions on this sign: Everyone is welcome here, or not everyone is welcome here,” argues Sarah Inama, a sixth-grade history teacher.
An Idaho history teacher is refusing to remove the classroom sign, “Everyone is welcome here.”
“There are only two opinions on this sign: Everyone is welcome here, or not everyone is welcome here,” she said.
To abandon inclusion is to invite exclusion.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted.
