As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Lawmakers push to strip a teachers union of its unique federal charter, while the union’s president calls Trump a “dictator” in an unearthed call with an Antifa-linked group. Meanwhile, a Minneapolis teachers union chief admits to anti-ICE Signal chats, and a nonprofit promotes a student-led anti-ICE school walkout.
The process has entered a familiar phase, where education advocates praise a decision to wind down a Women’s and Gender Studies certificate program, while experts warn that a plan could gut NYC gifted programs and hurt low-income students.
It’s become a familiar scene, where teachers unions and education institutions are scrutinized for their stances on various issues, from parental rights to anti-ICE sentiments. And, as expected, some staff members at a university have cut ties with the institution over a hire causing controversy.
And, in hindsight, it seems obvious that these events are not isolated incidents, but rather part of a larger narrative that continues to unfold.
