Parents Want Teachers in Classrooms — Not in Protests

Parents across the country are raising a simple, reasonable concern: schools should be focused on teaching, not political activism.

Yet from New York City to Minnesota to Chicago, teachers union leadership is increasingly pulling educators out of classrooms, canceling instruction, and using school time and union resources to advance ideological agendas unrelated to student learning.

This isn’t solidarity with students.

It’s solidarity with ideology.

Students lose learning time. Parents lose trust. And classrooms become collateral damage in political fights they never asked for.

Parents expect schools to prioritize education. Students deserve classrooms focused on learning — not protests, walkouts, or political theater.
