Today, the American Federation of Teachers, the largest teacher union, formally endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.Hillary was quoted saying, "Teachers are on the frontlines of shaping the minds of our next generation. With every child they teach, teachers help to ensure a brighter future for our country. In welcoming every child through your doors, in giving every child a chance to succeed, it's our public schools and teachers that transform that rhetoric into reality every single day."
According to AFT, they "represent 1.4 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers, paraprofessionals and other school support employees, higher education faculty, nurses and other healthcare workers, and state and local government employees."
I'm pumped that Hillary got the endorsement and truly believe she is the best candidate to represent educators, but I wish she and the other major candidates would come out with a point-by-point plan for how they plan to "fix No Child Left Behind" as they so often are quoted as saying.
