The Supreme Court today issued a decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, National Education Association President Becky Pringle released the following statement.
NEA President: ‘How many more dead and wounded children and educators will it take for those in power to finally prioritize our safety over the demands of the gun lobby?’
NEA President: With its radical ruling in Carson v. Makin, the court continues to erode public education that is ‘the foundation of our democratic society.’
NEA’s call to action: ‘Pass common-sense legislation so that not one more community is shattered, and not one more anguished parent has to lay a precious child to rest.’
The long-standing policy excludes teachers from the protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act and contributes to the chronic problem of low teacher pay that’s plaguing the profession.
