It really inspires me to keep going in this fight. This
teacher serves preschoolers with special needs who face a number of
challenges. She teaches at a title I school, where most families are
low income, and many of them are immigrants and non-native English
speakers. She believes that her children deserve access to the best educators
out there and that if DeVos's agenda was put in place--a system of
privatized public education--her students would be failed, because
without strong public schools, we would fail students who are low
income or living with disabilities or impacted by trauma or who belong
to racial or ethnic minorities. She says Betsy DeVos does not have her
students' best interests in mind, and her students deserve the best, as
I believe all of our students do, no matter their financial status,
their race, their religion, or any other difference they might have
from their peers.
