Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy Coming out on September 16, 2025 — AFT President Randi Weingarten has written a book.  It’s called WHY FASCISTS FEAR TEACHERS: Public Education and the Future of Democracy.  In this moment in history ...

There is a war on knowledge—and teachers are on the frontlines. I wrote Why Fascists Fear Teachers to answer the question many educators & parents are asking right now: Why the relentless attacks on public schools and on educators?
It’s my first book!!

If we really believe that Public Ed is essential for Americans, particularly our young people, we have to talk to and listen to everyone. My Fox Digital Op Ed

The unions that represent federal workers aren’t going anywhere.

The entire labor movement stands shoulder-to-shoulder with federal sector unions to fight these outrageous attacks on our freedoms.

We will not let Trump destroy what we’ve fought for generations to build.

Last vestiges of personal acct gone from the symbol formerly known as Twitter.

#txlege is considering #HB1078, a common-sense bill to help veterans get information on the benefits they’ve earned!

It’s time to get it across the finish line. USW Local 759 President Raj Penn and USW Local 13-2001 President Aquarius Johnson testified in support of the bill at the hearing. #txlege

Whenever I give a public speech, the GOP attacks me for working with labor unions.

But I’d rather stand alongside unions and working families than crawl at the feet of billionaires.

“House”

It is an all-consuming job at the state and local level. I shudder at the thought of the pressure and responsibility at national level.

He’s desperate to deflect away from his bad decisions and his play to play stunts on our White Lawn. #tasteless #Pay2Play

As we argued to investors about our members' pension funds, Elon Musk is acting like an angry toddler on the internet instead of protecting Tesla shareholders. This behavior wouldn't even fly in our classrooms, so it shouldn’t fly for billionaires running our government.

We’re honored to welcome AFT Michigan President Terrence Martin and Texas AFT President Zeph Capo to discuss “How We Fight Back,” regardless of the political party in power.

Breaking news! The court just issued us a TRO in our lawsuit against Elon Musk's DOGE, so that they stop taking the private data of American citizens from the Department of Ed and OPM. More to come.

Protect—don’t wreck—our children’s futures As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk swing a wrecking ball at the U.S. Department of Education, I’m wondering if it’s due to a lack of understanding of the department’s vital functions, or because ...

El Camino Real High School teachers go on strike There have been months of negotiations

Going on strike is never easy—it's always a last resort. Educators at El Camino Real Charter HS in Los Angeles started their strike today for a fair contract because the school's board of directors have remained unwilling to make long term commitments to educators. spectrumnews1.com/ca/southern-...

Hold March 4th at 6:00 pm for a virtual conversation with @texasaft.org on the consequences for our kids of closing the Dept of Ed.

Trump to loosen enforcement of US law banning bribery of foreign officials President Donald Trump on Monday planned to sign an executive order that directs the Justice Department to pause prosecutions of Americans accused of bribing foreign government officials while trying to gain business in their countries.

Democrats need to reconnect with working folks. That requires new leadership and new energy. That means electing Ben Wikler as our next DNC chair.

Public workers put others above themselves only to be attacked by paid talking heads and bots. Thank you to all the municipal workers, public safety workers and volunteers helping those in need.

Seems pretty obvious history buff. You either don’t know what is actually in the bible or seem to be ok with narrowing available content to what you approve of. That doesn’t sound very public.

Most are and can be as having them available isn’t forcing students to read them. Now, about your other “adult” material comment?

Nice try. Fun fact, bibles are already available in schools- even elementary. I guess for all your historical acumen you are lead by you bias?

That isn’t what you said. You said you’d rather have the bible in elementary school. You didn’t reference an adult historical conversation.

Except the excerpts from the bible were more adult than the adult topics you reference. Shall
I share examples?
