5. Pink Hearts not Pink Slips
Says AFT President Randi Weingarten:

The magnitude of the cuts is staggering. The number of educators who might be pink-slipped in the fall is nearly equal to the population of Toledo, Ohio. This isn’t just about saving jobs; it’s about saving the next generation.

The federal government didn’t walk away from Wall Street, and it should not walk away from our kids and their public schools. These massive cuts in teachers and programs will seriously jeopardize the hard work being done in school districts throughout the nation on genuine reforms to boost student achievement.
