Pink Hearts, Not Pink Slips
Schools throughout America are facing devastating cuts. Our children's future hangs in the balance.
By the end of this school year, it is estimated that as many as 300,000 teachers, school support staff and higher education faculty will receive pink slips throughout the country. This will result in drastic increases in class sizes and less individualized instruction; it will erode classroom discipline and school safety, and eliminate essential programs like art, music, AP classes and summer school.
Sign this petition to protect our children's future and preserve the quality of education in our schools and on our campuses.
I Support: All educators who put their heart and soul into their work, every day making a real difference in the lives of children.
I Support: Stopping the devastating impact educational budget cuts—and the resulting layoffs—that will have on our students, their educational institutions and our communities.
I Support: Federal legislation that will provide more than $23 billion to help school districts avoid layoffs and cuts in vital services for children. We need to preserve the education lifeline our students deserve. http://action.aft.org/c/44/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=66
