Protect Public Education: Here is What You Can Do
NPE Needs Volunteers to Join the Fight for Public Schools and America’s Children.
From a mandate for prayer in public schools, threats to fire teachers and principals, and an embrace of vouchers, Donald Trump has revealed his 10-point plan of hostility toward public schools on X.
Our tiny staff and Board cannot wage this fight alone. We need your help. Since the election, friends of public schools have emailed the Network for Public Education asking what they can do.
If you would like to volunteer to help stop the destruction of public schools and protect America’s children and teachers, please go here and let us know. You will find a menu of ways to help. Present and future generations of children depend on us. This is our moment to stand up and fight for democratically governed schools that welcome ALL children.
NPE and NPE Action Abandoning X for Blue Sky
Since Twitter was sold to Elon Musk and renamed X, we have seen dramatic decreases in views and retweets, leading us to believe a new algorithm is at work. We are also appalled by the bias and misinformation on the site.
On December 1, we will shut down our X account. We encourage you to open a free Blue Sky account if you do not already have one. You can find NPE @network4pubed.bsky.social, NPE Action @npeaction.bsky.social, Diane Ravitch @dianeravitch.bsky.social, and me @carolburris.bsky.social.
When you follow us, we will follow you back.
