Over 200 teachers gathered in Dallas to protest what they describe as the 'dismantling' of the Department of Education and the expansion of school vouchers in Texas. The educators voiced their concerns outside the office of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, expressing frustration over proposed layoffs and funding cuts that they believe threaten the quality of education in public schools.
The rally highlighted the teachers' commitment to advocating for students and public education. Many participants carried signs and chanted slogans emphasizing the importance of maintaining robust funding for public schools. They argue that school vouchers divert essential resources away from public education, undermining the support that students and teachers need to succeed.
As the debate over educational policy continues, the teachers' protest serves as a reminder of the ongoing tensions surrounding education funding and the impact of legislative decisions on local schools. The educators are determined to make their voices heard in the fight for a stronger public education system in Texas.
