The South Carolina Education Association Recommends Hillary Clinton for President
The South Carolina Education Association (The SCEA), the largest and oldest professional association in the Palmetto State, announced their recommendation in the Democratic primary for Hillary Clinton, citing her experience, commitment to educators, and record of fighting for families and children.
The classroom teachers, counselors, bus drivers, and all the members of The SCEA are on the frontlines of building a stronger and more prosperous America and I know it is not an easy job. The educators of The SCEA are shaping our future by providing education and support to South Carolinas children. I know from personal experience that our teachers make a profound difference in childrens lives. My mother had a difficult and painful childhood, and when she didnt have enough to eat, her first-grade teacher noticed and quietly shared her own lunch. Decades later, I am grateful to that teacher every day. From my early days working at the Childrens Defense Fund to my success creating a new teacher recruitment program in the Senate, Ive stood with educators throughout my career and am proud to stand with members of The SCEA, said Hillary Clinton.
The South Carolina Education Association is proud to support Hillary Clinton for president because of her unmatched experience working with educators, students and parents. With decades of experience in working to improve our nations schools, Hillary will bolster early childhood education and expand opportunities for our students. As president, she will focus our classrooms on learning and will work tirelessly with our schools to ensure at-risk students stay in school instead of the juvenile justice system. Hillary is a leader who will fight to invest in South Carolinians in both rural and urban areas, and we want her as our voice to create great public schools for each child to fulfill his or her potential, said The SCEA President Bernadette Hampton, a mathematics instructor and former department chair at Battery Creek High School in Beaufort.
The SCEA is the oldest and largest professional association for educators and retired teachers in South Carolina. Classroom teachers, guidance counselors, librarians, principals, superintendents as well as bus drivers, teaching assistants, lunch room operators, maintenance engineers, clerks and secretaries from pre-K to 12th grade and higher education are members of The SCEA.

(17,081 posts)Of what the South Carolina Education Association is. And Hillary's support of charter schools is a direct threat to the interests of their members.

(17,081 posts)Supports a candidate who supports policy that threatens your members' livelihoods then you need to replace your leadership.
Just like we need to replace Democratic Party leadership...and we will. This election will not be the end of it no matter how things turn out

(40,656 posts)who they want anyway. It means in education very little. Teachers are as independent as hogs on ice. Most of them resent the hell out of their dues going to political action.

(16,286 posts)Union means uplifting and improving the lives of all working, non executive, persons.
Yet, when they hear that word, what do they hear?
I liken it to the reason they refuse to believe in climate change, solely because the person who told them about it is Al Gore.
Their brain shuts off at that point.
