The real safeguard of democracy is public education. And it's under attack from the right. Defend democracy. Defend public schools. #July4thWeek #TBATS @LouisianaBATs @iowabats @ArkansasBATsA @IllinoisBATs @IndianaBATs @piper4missouri @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs

#SupremeCourtDecision is sideways & upside down. Forcing kids to jump over larger, whiter obstacles to achieve equity, forcing kids to prove they're "as entitled as" rather than equal under the law. #TBATs #AffirmativeAction @piper4missouri @MNBATs1 @LouisianaBATs

Voucher programs are not popular with the public. That's why they need dirty backroom deals to get them passed. Stay vigilant! Say No to Vouchers! #TBATs @iowabats @piper4missouri @IllinoisBATs @IndianaBATs @LouisianaBATs @ArkansasBATsA @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs @MIBATS

#Vouchers programs are ripe for fraud. They are poorly controlled by design. What's happening in NC is not unique. #TBATs ncjustice.org/analysis-nc-pr… @piper4missouri @LouisianaBATs @iowabats @IndianaBATs @IllinoisBATs @ArkansasBATsA @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs Support Public Schools!

With so many out there flaunting their bigotry, more than ever we must support our LGBTQ youth. Let them know they have the right to speak up. #PrideMonth #TBATs @LouisianaBATs @iowabats @IllinoisBATs @IndianaBATs @ArkansasBATsA @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs @AlabamaBATs

Moms for Liberty aren't for liberty at all. They've been designated a Hate Group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for good reason. #MomsForBigotry #TBATs bigeducationape.blogspot.com… @LouisianaBATs @ArkansasBATsA @iowabats @IndianaBATs @IllinoisBATs @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs

Arizona's Voucher Law is a case of take the money & run. Parents can spend their school tax dollars however they want. No record keeping or accountability. Results are bad. #TBATs news.yahoo.com/arizonas-univ… @IllinoisBATs @piper4missouri @iowabats @IndianaBATs @LouisianaBATs

Teachers are tired of culture war attacks & political interference! With job openings everywhere this is a good time to speak up & move on. #TeacherShortage #TBATs @piper4missouri @ArkansasBATsA @IllinoisBATs @IndianaBATs @iowabats @Wisconsin_BATs @MNBATs1 @LouisianaBATs

Civics scores have dropped. Maybe it's because kids aren't getting a full picture of our history anymore. axios.com/2023/05/03/history… #CultureWars #TBATs @ArkansasBATsA @LouisianaBATs @iowabats @IllinoisBATs @IndianaBATs @MNBATs1 @MIBATS @Wisconsin_BATs

We owe it to our students & to the future of our country, to teach full, accurate & truthful history. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. axios.com/2023/05/03/history… #TBATs @piper4missouri @ArkansasBATsA @LouisianaBATs @IllinoisBATs @IndianaBATs @iowabats @Wisconsin_BATs @MNBATs1

Charters serve up a curdled milk curriculum. They get away with it b/c they don't have to follow the same requirements as public schools, even though they get public school $$$. #TBATs @ArkansasBATsA @iowabats @LouisianaBATs @IndianaBATs @IllinoisBATs @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs
