In a move that has left many scratching their heads, right wing school boards in California have passed regulations that require teachers to out LGBTQ+ students. Yes, you read that right.

Attention all Floridians! Have you heard of the Personalized Education Program (PEP)? No, it's not a new workout routine or a fancy diet plan. It's a voucher program that lets homeschooling parents use taxpayer-funded vouchers to buy whatever they want, from theme park tickets to big-screen TVs. Because nothing says "education" like a day at Disney World or binge-watching Netflix. But wait, ther
TEACHER SHORTAGE AND HEAT WAVE TWO KIDS IN EVERY POT Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, a late-season heat wave descended upon the Midwest and northeastern United States.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to panic! The end is near, and it's time to sell your public schools stock. Why, you ask?

UNIONS: THE ULTIMATE WINGMAN FOR A FAIRER SOCIETY! David Hecker, former President of AFT Michigan, has a message for unions: be more than just a safety net for workers. In a recent article for the Detroit Free Press, Hecker argues that unions must have a "transformational vision" for how they engage with their members and the public. But what does that mean? And more importantly, how can unions m
This message was sent as an email to AFT members and allies . This Labor Day, Americans are giving unions a thumbs-up. It’s not just the hot labor summer, it’s the union advantage — workers who join together in unions have higher pay, better benefits, safer workplaces and more voice on the job than nonunion workers. Those effects are life-changing for workers and their families, but as we know,

California's SB 596, also known as the STFU & End the Threats and Violence Moms for Liberty legislation, is here to save the day.

In honor of Labor Day, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has gifted us with a new ruling that promises to make unionization easier for firms that break the law while resisting organizing campaigns.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has done it again! He's out-stupided Trump and the other Trump wannabes by approving school voucher bonus bucks for Disney tickets, kayaks, and big-screen TVs.
