Proud to have earned the endorsement of @texasaft.org!
I stand with our teachers and demand better pay and working conditions so that our teachers can do what they love- educating the future.
@rweingarten.bsky.social: Today I am proposing a 10-point plan addressing all of this, to boost student learning and success in the age of AI.
To ensure our students are prepared for the future, we need a “devices-down, eyes-up, hands-on” strategy.

Dr. Leonard Bright, Texas A&M AAUP: Higher education is not a luxury - it's a public good. Higher ed exists to advance knowledge. But our courses are being scrutinized & altered because of a small group of political actors. @texasaaup.bsky.social @aaup.org @afthighered.bsky.social
Right, @repcasar.bsky.social. In states like TX, you have extremist politicians trying to control what's being taught in the classroom while making college less affordable and accessible to working class students. With one voice, we say: Enough. @aaup.org @afthighered.bsky.social
The new platform from AFT & @aaup.org is focused on:
🎓Restored funding
🎓Freedom to learn
🎓Shared governance: Ensuring faculty and staff—not corporate administrators—make final decisions on curriculum, research priorities and institutional priorities.
🎓Labor reform
Todd Wolfson, @aaup.org: Let's be clear about what higher education does. It generates groundbreaking research, creates billions in economic output, anchors communities as employers, trains the next generation of workers & creates opportunities for a better life. @afthighered.bsky.social
