John, Trump’s plans for education are already making waves – and it’s as scary as we thought.
His nomination for the Department of Education? Linda McMahon, someone who is not only inexperienced in education but who is more focused on dismantling public schools than strengthening them.
Combine that with far-right groups like Moms for Liberty harassing teachers, censoring curricula and banning books, and the stakes for our kids’ futures couldn’t be higher.
On top of all that, Trump has already said he wants to dissolve the Department of Education. But you know what’s the best way to fight back? Elect progressives to school boards who will prioritize students and teachers over extremist agendas. That’s exactly what Run for Something’s 50 State School Board Strategy is about: recruiting and supporting young, diverse leaders to transform education from the ground up.
Now, all we’re missing is for top Democrats like you to show what you know about what it takes to run for school boards: Will you take our quiz before midnight and be one of the 100 respondents we’re counting on?
