What's dangerous Sec. Pompeo is your disrespect & disregard of teachers. Teachers sacrifice a lot to help children maximize their full potential. Teachers joining w/ parents spark the hopes and dreams of the next generation. But too many politicians, like you, attack them.

What's dangerous is hate speech & rhetoric like this — calling what teachers’ teach “filthy” and comparing them to a cruel dictator who has engaged in genocide. That's why teachers press for & create safe & welcoming school environments 4 all our students nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new…
