AFT PRESIDENT WEINGARTEN PRAISES EDUCATION PLAN OF SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN
[Education\2020 Elections]
AFT President Randi Weingarten: “Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s plan for our nation’s public schools would be a game changer for our public schools and the 90 percent of America’s students who attend them. Like so many of the other candidates’ education plans we have praised, this one is bold and thorough and lays out tangible steps and resources that are critical for all students to thrive. What distinguishes this plan is that it is obvious it’s drawn through the lens of someone who has spent time as a teacher in a classroom.”
