Urge the Senate to Reject the House-Passed Budget Bill that Will Harm Students and Working Families | NEA The bill the House GOP just passed is calling for trillions in tax cuts that heavily benefit billionaires—“paid for” with devastating cuts in education, health, and nutrition programs for students,…

Unless the Senate votes no, devastating Medicaid cuts will become law—kicking children off of their insurance, shrinking lunch programs, and cutting school nurses and counselors.

Tell your senator: vote NO.

In Matthew Hawn Case, TEA Protects Teaching Profession | Tennessee Education Association TEA filed suit on behalf of Matthew Hawn, a Sullivan Co. social studies teacher, challenging his 2021 dismissal as arbitrary after a complaint from a parent.

Matthew Hawn spent over a decade teaching contemporary issues and social studies in Sullivan County, Tennessee. He loved his job, was respected by his colleagues, students and parents, and had no history of complaints—until 2020.

There have been a number of missed opportunities—the 15-16 primaries, the aftermath of Charlottesville, the first impeachment, the legal battles, and more. Where is the line is a good question? War? Global economic depression?

History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

What an embarrassment that our president is a bully and disrespectful of another country’s president. Our president isn’t intelligent & is unable to participate in respectful discourse on a global stage.

What Trump and Zelenskyy said during their heated argument in the Oval Office "This is going to be great television. I will say that," President Donald Trump said after a minuteslong fight with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in front of cameras during a visit to the White House.

The argument in the Oval Office was broadcast globally.

Here is a transcript of the key moments of the exchange.

Be rebellious. But rest as needed.

Joy is a form of anarchy in an administration that spews hate and fear.

Do the good you want to see in the world.

And fight like hell to hold onto your compassion for those who deserve it.

You get to choose who to be kind to.

Project 2025 mirrors a dark chapter in history. Leaders seized control of the media, targeted marginalized groups—including the elderly, disabled, and those with differing beliefs—and silenced anyone deemed subversive to their agenda. History is repeating itself, and the consequences are dire.

Say NO to Statewide Vouchers | Tennessee Education Association 90% of Tennessee students attend public schools. We need to protect and strengthen public schools by opposing expensive, unaccountable, inequitable, and unnecessary vouchers.

Need more information about Tennessee’s voucher bill and how it will negatively impact public schools, check out our resources (including links to contact your legislators) at tnea.org/novouchers

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is still an excellent commentary on society. Not much has changed. The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckelberg are still watching.

We disagree with them on a lot, but when they’re right, they’re right 👇🏽

And the numbers will only go up as @GovBillLee bribes legislators with more and more ways to get them to sell out public schools.
