TCTA is a professional association for teachers, and we are here to support all of you who are on the front lines educating the children of this state. We are deeply involved in political issues that affect our members’ classrooms and finances, but have always limited our political action to issues related to public education.
It is our intent to continue to do so, but with full recognition that the effects of institutional racism, bigotry, and brutality all manifest in our lives and classrooms, and must be condemned and eradicated. We will be increasingly mindful of the need to ensure policies and practices that afford the same protections and opportunities to all educators and students, and welcome your suggestions.
