Louisiana educators: I know how much you give every single day. I know how hard you work, how much you sacrifice for your students and your communities. And I know you’re being misled right now. You deserve the truth about what this amendment actually does.
A friend recently told me about their mom, a lifelong Louisiana public school teacher. She dedicated her whole career to shaping young minds, starting fresh out of college. She worked hard. Became a master teacher. Earned respect. She watched kids grow up, graduate, and go off into the world. She saw families struggle, and she helped kids thrive. Even now, she still believes in the power of education—but she also knows how unstable it can be.
When she finally retired, things didn’t go as planned. After a divorce, she realized she couldn’t afford to stay retired. She had to go back to the classroom, and even now, she’s barely making ends meet. She donates blood plasma just to afford groceries. That’s the heartbreaking reality of Louisiana’s education system.
Now, instead of fixing that broken system, and actually doing something for those he promised to protect, Jeff Landry is trying to sell you a lie.
