John,
Schools have become a battleground for some of our country’s most divisive
issues.
An alarming number of schools have erased COVID precautions like wearing
masks in the classroom and encouraging vaccinations to attend in-person
classes. It’s clear that the Republican Party’s motivation to reject
common sense safety policies in our schools is all part of a political
agenda to pretend that COVID is not a problem in our country.
This Black History Month, a record number of schools and universities have
banned books that teach the history of the civil rights movement, Jim
Crow, and slavery. Since last year, 14 states have applied these book bans
statewide. 17 more states are considering similar book bans this year.
We know that these issues are impacting many of our families and the
quality of education our children are receiving. That’s why today we’re
inviting you to take our 2022 Washington School Survey: [ [link removed] ]We hope
you can share with us details about schools in your area and help inform
our strategy to address the divisive issues that school districts are
currently facing.
Do schools in your community require mask wearing in classrooms?

There is a widespread, coordinated push happening across our country right
now to elect far-right supporters for school board seats that in the past
rarely generated much interest.
The impact of this effort can be seen at nearly all levels of school
administration. From restricting what curriculum can be taught, to
blocking masking policies in our classrooms — there is a level of tension
in our school districts we have not seen in decades. GOP leaders are even
threatening to cut off funding for schools that choose not to reopen this
fall or reject their dangerous anti-mask policies.
We see right through this act and we refuse to be silent as they endanger
our children’s lives as a part of their political games. We must come
together to fight for the safety of students, teachers, and school
personnel.
But before we devise a plan to pressure Congress to take action, we want
to hear your thoughts and any personal experiences you have related to
schools in Washington.
[ [link removed] ]Will you take our survey and share with us insight about schools in
Washington? It’s critical we collect feedback from districts across
the country so we can coordinate our plans to fight back against far-right
influence in our schools.

In solidarity,
