Michigan K-12 students deserve REAL teachers!

The Issue

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and our GOP-controlled Legislature have passed and signed HB 4294. This bill allows our public school districts to hire school bus drivers, lunch aides, office staff and any employee with a HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA to STAFF ANY CLASSROOM! MI graduates high school students and awards diplomas with a D- in EVERY class. This bill will have the most adverse impact in economically disadvantaged, special education and rural districts. Parents & Students MUST BOYCOTT these Teacher-Less Classrooms. Students MUST STRIKE on February 9, 2022, the Second Per Pupil Count Day. A Teacher-Less Classroom Deserves NO Funding! No Meaningful learning with a person that has even a decent high school diploma! How can a 9th grader master Algebra-1 when the fake teacher can’t teach the content? How can a deaf student learn in a Hearing Impairment classroom with a fake teacher that knows NO American Sign Language? Who will drive school buses if bus drivers are at the head of classrooms?  Are you getting my gist? Find your Outrage for your children and support their boycott of school on February 9, 2022 and watch for a possible rally at the MI Capitol at 12:15 pm!
