We believe classrooms should be places of learning, not partisan political battlegrounds.
For two years, extreme politicians have meddled in our kids’ education, turning classrooms and school board meetings into partisan food fights.
They’re manufacturing fear and outrage over library books, history classes, and more. Across the country, they’re pushing to censor our kids and teachers. This is making it hard for educators to teach and for kids to learn. And what’s worse—these politicians claim this is what parents want. But parents don’t want politicians meddling in our kids’ education. Parents across the board overwhelmingly approve of what kids are learning in our local schools.
We believe all kids should be free to learn about our history, our diverse stories, and each other.
elected officials and political groups—not parents—are the most responsible for the recent disagreements over what’s taught in public K-12 schools.

Public education is a cornerstone of our democracy and the key to our country’s future.
A strong public education has the power to not only teach our kids math and reading, but also prepare them to be good citizens, community members, and future leaders of a diverse and great country.
We believe that every child has the right to a public education—that every child, no matter their race or background or identity, should be able to succeed in the classroom and feel safe and supported in school.
We believe our kids need an education that prepares them for the real world.

America’s strength comes from the free flow of ideas and speech.
We should be modeling those ideals in school, just like we do at home. Because we can’t censor the real world. Our kids need to learn how to work across differences, handle challenging topics, and ask hard questions in order to be successful, whether in college, their careers, or beyond.
Our kids’ education should empower them with age-appropriate lessons about our shared history and their classmates’ and teachers’ diverse identities that inspire, challenge, and inform them.
